Jermain Taylor speaks; Ready to Retire

[Wacko3205]

Mayweather is only looking good vs. Baldo because Carlos fought the wrong fight.. Baldo fought Mayweathers fight . Carlos follow Floyd around the ring and got out boxed and looked stupid . What you do is draw a line in the sand , shame him into a fight. When he step back You step back. Whatever is takes.. But don’t just follow him around for 12 rounds in a 26 foot ring.

Please don't say silly shit like that...I know you know better.

Floyd has made every single person that he has faced look as overly outmatched as he has Baldo.

Any game plan to date has gone out the window. It's called technical brilliance.

I am starting to feel for a lot of these fighters...no matter what they do...it aint good enough for us...the fans.

Hell...I'm guilty of it with Taylor...but honestly...I look at it a bit differently...because I think that the win over Hopkins I & the Wright draw had a bow on it.

It's different concerning Floyd...he just outsmarts & outboxes (hit & not get hit) & everyone gives him flack...it's total bullshit.

Good ridlance Jermain, didn't even notice you were still around....

I thought you had already retired....

What 2 gift wins and a gift draw didn't impress you?

Exactly.
Though very skilled and athletic at this moment it's looking very similar to PBF's career.

As quickly as I agree with you, just as quickly I disagree with you. It's impossible to compare Floyd's career to Taylor's Floyd's done much more. Why bring him into this?

[Hairdoo]

I won't miss Floyd's pompas little azz but I will miss Oscar. Damn I loved watching him and Mosley going at it toe to toe when was the last time we saw Floyd do that.

He fought on the inside against Gatti, He pressed the fight with Judah, watch the Ndou fight, Emmanuel Burton fight, Jesus Chavez fight, and the Victorian Sosa fight was exciting too... Oscar and MOsley one wasn't toe to toe there was alot of movement on both sides, and the punch output wasn't particularly high...

your joking right?

For starters I'm referring to 140+

Gatti was a heavy bag and Judah fight was a boring chess match.

this is what I'm talking about

Those guys were GLADIATORS....Floyd just wants to fight smart...which is why I think a guy like Mayorga (not specifically him but a guy LIKE him) would be good....PBF needs someone to push his buttons and make him "stand and deliver"


too bad Roberto Duran fought so long ago

How so? Mayweather deserved to win EVERY fight.. I was watching the Mayweather-Castillo I again, and they must counted every punch Castillo did while they were holding eachother to have him ahead in power shots... Mayweather won that fight because he had superior ring generalship, defense, and cleaner punches, but I don't think Jermain is nearly as fast or skilled as MAyweather p4p who IMO if he was bigger would lay a hurt on anyone at any weight class.

Amazing that people grasp for straws when tryin to dismiss Floyd.

Don't kill your credibility by stooping to those levels Mickey.

Floyd impressively dismantled Corrales, Chavez, Hernandez, & Castillo...all of which I have heard you credit before for great acts or impressive fights.

Not being silly my Wacko friend ! well maybe a tad , Seriously everyone falls into the Mayweather trap and fights his fight .. Fallow Fallow Fallow if you follow him you are going to get your ass beat. best chance to win is have Floyd come to you. now granted he still might tattoo your country ass via Gatti , but its your best chance to land something.

Like I said it's starting to look, not it IS. 2 different things, I brought him up cause both very skilled & athletic fighters and both aren't really living up to whats expected of them.... Thats why I said it's looking similar.....

You are good at chemistry Lyle ! I can tell, because your exactly spot on.. Mayroga is the correct formula to tap dance on that Mayweather ass. , because Mayorgya is awkward as all fuck,, hell Ricardo is so awkward , I don't think he knows what he is doing half the time. and he is powerful.. Ricardo could lunge out there and hurt ole pretty boy. excellent call.. CC now or in 24

[Lords Gym]

I think Taylor is more exciting then Floyd in my opinion. even Ray Leonard would fight.. I remember some great battles with ole Ray. he would box for some rounds then he would fight, but I be damned if Ray didn’t run the board on a mutherfucker when he had them in trouble. Floyd is too heavy at 147 to impress.. he needs to get back to 135-140 where he can handle himself better and be more exciting 135 was Floyd's best weight.

[Purist]

I liked Floyd at the lower weights . Floyd had an array of options available when he was lighter , thus he was more exciting in my opinion . Mayweather is a chicken shit at this higher weight. and rightfully so. the guys he is fighting are too big and strong.. ..

So he's a chicken for fighting a smart fight

Exactly, Floyd bit off more then he can chew.. moved up to a weight class where he can't compete physically, thus has no option but to run his ass off. Is it smart ? no doubt , but its still chicken shit ! For instance its like the little punk troublemaker in school comes up behind the big strong athlete hit him upside the head. then turns and runs away ... Now was it smart for the little guy to turn and run?, sure it was , but its chicken shit all the same. !

Does it really matter if Floyd's opponent cant do shit about what Floyd does and still gets beat?

Mayweather is only looking good vs. Baldo because Carlos fought the wrong fight.. Baldo fought Mayweathers fight . Carlos follow Floyd around the ring and got out boxed and looked stupid . What you do is draw a line in the sand , shame him into a fight. When he step back You step back. Whatever is takes.. But don’t just follow him around for 12 rounds in a 26 foot ring.

Yeah so then I guess that means you're with everyone else in saying that neither Margarito or Hatton would have a chance against Mayweather because all they would do is follow him around

[jbirdy]

whats wrong with these guys today. they are retiring so early. fair play if they have made all there millions and faught everyone they wanted to fight, but its like there hearts arnt in the game. it's not like the old days

Is this thread about Floyd or taylor?
