Oscar offers $6million to JT for Winky rematch in December

It's not Jermain's fault...he didn't judge the fight

Why all the hate? Taylor is a good fighter, a tough guy, and he takes on big challenges

Why all the hate? Oh puh-leeze Lyle. You know I like Taylor, he just didn't win the fight...it's not just the judges...it's the whole deal.

Wright beat him...but anyone in their right mind knows that the honey pot aint gonna go empty unless it get's broken...HBO won't allow it.

It's not hate...but if you (not YOU personally) can't watch a fight & read outside of the lines...you never get the whole picture. He hasn't been an effective champ at 160lbs. I love the kid...I got high hopes for him...but he's not breaking any approval records with me anymore.

He lost against Hopkins once...the second time he won...but he didn't earn that draw against Wright.

[bigragu]

Yeah I think Jermain deserves a break. He's been in some razor close fights and needs a lamb to slaughter to celebrate his championship in front of his home town fans.

yeah, but I think he could find a better lamb than Ouma though...that could be a decent fight...

[bigragu]

As long as a rematch ain't to far off I'll be happy! This fight needs to be made!

i agree totally. anything longer than a year would be an injustice to the fans and to Winky.

[bigragu]

YES! This fight NEEDS to happen. It has to. Any other opponent for either fighter just does not make sense.

I always say there should be an instant rematch as soon as a draw is announced. They need a clear cut winner.

highlight of their first fight

well basically taylor landed some thudding shots in the fight, not surprised winky wasnt too keen for a rematch straight after their fight. taylor is a hard fighter to beat.

Wright was pissed he got jobbed by the judges that's why he didn't want a rematch. Taylor's definitely a tough guy to beat but Wright should already have a victory over him IMO.

you are correct in that statement....but Taylor is not judging the fight. Winky deserves his due. Winky has fought and built himself up way to high to have this hanging over him.

*Draw is what I meant. How would Wright perform any better in a rematch? The only thing I can think of is that he would have to become more active and aggressive. Not only is this not his style, it would also leave room for Taylor to connect with his shots. Wright got his head jerked around a lot that first fight from Taylors punches penetrating through his gloves, if Wright opens up those shots are going to connect clean. I wasn't much of a believer in Taylor at first. I was screaming bloody murder after his first fight with Hopkins; and I still think bhop won that fight. But after the second fight bhop did the same thing; which was not do enough. I think Taylor has a lot of talent and there's a reason elite fighters like bhop and Wright can't do enough against him, it's not just luck on Taylor's part.

Also, if a rematch with Wright did take place I strongly believe that Taylor would win convincingly by a few rounds. Emanuel Steward is going to know exactly how to train Taylor for a second fight against Wright. As I said, while Taylor is still improving Wright has already reached the pinnicle of his game and there isnt much room for growth left.

I think Talyor id doing great as well, I also thought he lost the 1st Hopkins fight but won the 2nd. I feel he lost to Wright though. I don't think Stewart will make to many improvements Taylors balance was still crap in the fight with Wright & his hands were still kept low, plus he looks like he's gonna fall over when throwing a straight right! But Taylor is still the undefeated world middleweight champion so I gotta give him hi props. I just feel Wrights defense will be spot on as usual, plus if he gets that jab working he can win the fight around that!

CC galaxy. I've noticed Taylor's balance issues as well. He also keeps that right hand real tight at his side..I don't know what that's all about. It looks like he's keeping it flexed or something.

I think if taylor straighten's out his balance and timing and fights like he did the first fight against Wright it will work wonders. I noticed Taylor showed a pretty mean looking lead left hook a couple times, but always seemed just off with it.

I still think he still has some confidence issues, but I think a KO will clear that up for him as well.

The longer Taylor has with Manny the better he'll be and the harder it will be for ANYONE to beat him

that's why he is putting off the fight with winky IMO. He will have trained with Manny for well over a year by that time.

[El Kabong]

Well true...but Ouma is going to give him a shot at adapting to the style Manny wants him to fight with which I am sure is more like how Tommy Hearns fought

cc back at you bro, I want this fight to happen. Both guys deserve the opportunity to prove who the better fighter is!

I say the same, But at least he deservres a easy fight first :P

[NorthSideX4]

Taylor is the man & thats that! He deserves a break, then he can go back & remtch!!!!

[Wacko3205]

I'm all for the rematch...but I think that he should fight a B or C level fighter in December.

I think Ouma's gonna be a harder fight than he's getting credit for too.

[cockey cockney]

TAKE IT JERMAINE! doesnt have to be his next fight but it needs to happen and if JT manages to win this one convincingly then he will have me as a big fan!
