They were close fights. Calling them iffy is just another way to discredit him. And personally, I think that alot of the punches that Winky Wright so called "caught" or "blocked" did the most damage to him. Jermain owned Winky Wright in that fight and thats why Wright ran in the last round. Even after head butting Taylor's eye shut he was still scared. And then said that he did'nt want a rematch because he felt that he had been robbed so bad. I watched that fight with Winky Wright fans and they thought that he had lost until they heard the decision. And as soon as they saw Wright ACTING like he thought he had been robbed they changed they're minds and fell right in line. In a close fight that ended in a draw which I believe was a gift to Winky Wright I believe the Winky Wright show after the fight was just a show of poor sportsmanship and cowardice. It turned out that he really didnt want the rematch because he doesnt believe that he can beat Taylor, no matter where the fight takes place. Thus we get all these people talking about Jermain Taylor as an illegit champ. Every one is so hyped on Pavlik beating Miranda. We will see how great Pavlik is once he fights a real top notch fighter like Taylor. Pavlik knows the difference between the two I bet.
