    Dissappointing performance from JT. He was being backed up by a smaller Ouma,needs lots of space to throw his shots which are slow and telegraphed,rarely throws combos and on top of all of that,was holding Ouma and didn't hurt Kassim so along with the other factors,is JT's power over rated? I was looking for a good performance,I lke the guys attitude but I really don't see what he has been working on with Steward? He is open to counters when he throws his right hand,as he cocks his left hand back so is wide open down the middle!! It was strange to see the small Ouma acking up the much muhc bigger Taylor and if I was Winky Wright,I'd want a rematch asap!!!

    Ouma was dissappointing too,known for his work ethic yet I didn't see anything there although he showed heart to keep going forward but he needs to get back to 154!!!

    Having seen JT's last few fights,I have to say,Im HUGELY dissappointed in Bernard Hopkins for not beating him..Hopkins is better in almost every aspect,so why the hell did he not win? Especially the second time around!

    JC would abslutely wreck Taylor,his activity level would be way way way too much for JT especially as he backs up so much voluntarily,I mean Ouma was just walking after him and JT would just walk backwards! Calzaghe's speed would bedazzle Taylor!

This is just the way he fights, he wasn't blessed with a very exciting style to watch, and most of his fights turn up ugly. But I respect him for taking on all comers and doing everything he can.
    Is this really how he fights in every fight? I have seen his ast 4 fights only so I wouldn't know but if it is,someone,somewhere is going to give him a beat down!!

    Watch Taylor about 4 or 5 fights ago.

    You should get what people mean.

    The fact that he used to have a jaw dropping jab that set up all of his shots & accurately coupled with the fact that he was knocking motherfwockers out...it raises the expectations of the Undisputed Middleweight Champ of the World.

    Personally...I think that Hopkins won the first fight & I always will...he landed the cleaner shots & he landed more of them...he just took longer to start than Taylor did. Hopkins won that fight also on connections alone.

    That being said...I think that Taylor won the 2nd one.

    I agree Hopkins won the first fight but it was close and the second fight,he should have realised his mistake from the first and upped his game! I mean JT looked OK last night but far from a world beater!

    4 or 5 fights ago he wasn't exactly fighting the same competition.

    Spot on. You have a way of saying what I want to say in a very precise way. When I agree with you that is.

    I want to add that when someone is landing shots like that on a smaller man the outcome is expected to be different. When you wait for something that never happens you are left scratching your head and worrying about future fights with bigger men. In the same way that a bad ending can ruin an entire movie.

    Exactly...& he's had two controversial decisions against the Elite, he ko'd a sparring partner, & he got bullied by a smaller man that he couldn't put away...again...hardly the expectations one has for the Undisputed Middleweight Champ of the World.

    I'm not saying that Taylor sucks...I'm not even saying that he's a "craftless fighter" like Merchant said...I'm just saying...I'm not sold on him nor am I impressed anymore.

    Then your expectations are unrealistic. Not every middleweight champion can be as good as Marvin Hagler.

    People need to get over this 'bigger man/smaller man' crap. Their both middleweights. A guy being shorter doesn't mean he's a superlightweight. Bigger man-smaller man may come into play when you're speaking of heavyweights, which is limitless in terms of weights and provides you with matchups like Wlad-Byrd or Lennox-Tyson, but unless a fighter came up from 6 divisions below, it's pretty meaningless.

    That's a matter of opinion that we'll just have to differ in...if you can deal with your heroes or whatever being under acheivers & always settling for "duuh duh duh I'm a work in progress Larry. Is always sumfin wif me" then so be it...but I'd rather my heroes make a statement themselves then have the judges help them or their sparkling personalities merit a win.

    Another matter of opinion...but if Ouma hadv'e kicked his ass...it still woulda been bigger man smaller man for me.

    It'll be bigger man smaller man until the end of time because that's an impressive defecit to breach in the male world. It just is.

    If your'e in a bar & see some little short gent crack the shit out of some big muscle bound brute...betcha money you go home talking about how the midget slayed the giant.

    It's just a fact.

    Say what you will but as flawed as he is, Hopkins couldn't beat him. You just hate him cause he conquered your fav fighter and you've been bashing him ever since. Hopkins should have actually fought and not be so scared in those early rounds but now he has no basis for his your crying. At least JT is not padding his record against a bunch of bums ala Hopkins.

    Apparently, like Tito, you lack the ability to understand the English language process without a translator.

    I won't get into mixing words with you because I know that you have issues with fully comprehending sentences...but I have been & am a fan of Taylor...just as I am Wright's...just as I am Oscar's...just as I am Hopkins...all of whom have or will face on or the other.

    I've been bashing him ever since he started under preforming.

    Also...Taylor's record only has 3 legit names on it...so don't try that crap about Hopkins record bullshit & in the end...everyone pretty much knows where you come from...Hopkins was the first to truly HUMILIATE & SLAUGHTER TRINIDAD.

    If anyone needs to cry...it's you babe.
