Jermain didnt used to back up like that. He was in there to take it to his opponent.
Maybe hopkins in his prime, but i dont see any different Jt than the one who beat hopkins twice. In hopkins he met a guy who only liked to work for a minute of the round, much like JT does, in winky he met a guy whos gunna stand in front of him and make him work his a** off, much like Ouma did... Jt is gifted, he just needs to stop being so lazy.
I honestly believe that it's got a lot to do with Steward. Steward's just waaaaaay to calming for Taylor, IWO.

That might be good for Wlad...but not Taylor. Burns gave him the push that he needed when things got tuff...I don't think that Steward can do this with Taylor.

Maybe I'm wrong.
