Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor: I have nothing but respect for Winky Wright!

[Hairdoo]

Let me just say this...the kid's worthy...no doubt about it...but he's fighting the best in the world...he's gonna look bad. One of my fellow posters made a comment about Hopkins making anyone look bad...that's true...but you have to step back & look at how good Taylor actually looked against Hopkins.

He looked better than anyone else has in over 10 years & he went toe to toe with the Executioner. He's knocked out the majority of men that he's faced & he had Joppy running from him. Things like that have to be taken into consideration.

Jermain just beat the freakin number one pound for pound boxer in the world twice. Argue if you will but he got the W's. Somethin that noone else has been able to do in a decade. Jt is big. A lot bigger than winky. winky has never fought anybody bigger than hih all, and with the power and speed that Jermain Taylor posseses for you to act like he doesnt have a shot at Winky Wright is ludicrus. You have to remember that before Bernard Hopkins a man that takes everybody out of their element ,Jermain dominated and i mean dominated everybody he faced. JT by late KO,and again doing something that others have failed to do.

All these months of disagreeing & I finally say something on point regarding your bwoy & you just disregard it....I'm heartbroken!

Thats hilarious Wacko!! because I was thinking the same thing before I switched it off last night. I even started typing a response and thought "ah fockit.. I'll do it tomorrow.."

There's a lot of squabbling over whether or not JT is worthy or not.

When Taylor first came on to the scene & I saw him all those years ago on ESPN...I thought that the kid was something else. I warmed to him almost immediately because of his ability to stick & move & his personality. After the ESPN shot came his HBO gigs & the rest is history.

Taylor is being groomed. Make no mistake about it. The problem is...he's also being rushed...pushed...just like Vargas. He's being thrown in with the best in the world & now there is no turning back for him.

He'll have to face & destroy the Sturm's, Abraham's, Sylvester's, Miranda's, & Gevor's of the world or else he'll be discarded...just like Jeff Lacy was.

Hell...right now...he's in the same boat as Lacy. He either performs 110% against Wright...or he's in the can...& that's a shame.

I agree he is being rushed but I'm more than glad they are!! To many fighters these days are guided so well we refer to them as PROTECTED, it nice change to see a young guy in his prime wanting to fight the best. Imagine if he didnt fight Hopkins?
