Sure he didn't win convincingly but he wasn't beaten convincingly either. There were many who didn't even give him a shot at Hopkins the 1st time so to be in the position he is as middleweight champion with a 1st defense win over the #1 contender then his 2nd defense draw against the #1 contender is top notch. Taylor can only get better from here, he's already fought two of the best fighters in the world & hasn't lost who can ask for more than that?


Agreed with the majority of that...but I still say the Nard won the first fight. Old story though...it's over & done with...but Taylor can be all that he can be, IWO.
Have 1 back my friend...[quote=wacko3205 ]
Let me just say this...I'm really REALLY big on Jermain Taylor. By far, he is talented & he's definently the best at 160lbs right now.

Not until he rematches Wright he ain't IMO
