Taylor will have plenty of opportunity to land, but he would have to be busy because he is not a counter puncher.
...and the reason that I highlighted this below?

...because it's the same thing that he did against Spinks, Wright, Cuevas, & Ouma...just minus all that flailing around bullshit agaist Hopkins.

For some reason...Taylor seems to have forgotten his defense, power, & boxing smarts. Seriously...I S*** you not...I don't know WTF has happened to this kid. He was somethin else prior to the Hopkins bout. Now I know that no one is perfect...but Taylor was REALLY good. I'd love to see him get it back...but honestly...I'd love to see someone that earned it command the championship.

I don't feel that Taylor has earned all of his wins lately.
Have yourself a shiny for saying exactly how I feel about this guy. I understand why people felt Spinks didn't win, but I still would have give him the win for the fact he was doing more than Taylor. I feel that based on his last 4 fights, Jermain Taylor does not deserve to be recognised as undisputed middleweight champion.
