Taylor Still Hungry for Greater Ring Glory!

One might think that defeating the legendary Bernard Hopkins twice and battling the skillful Winky Wright to a draw would satisfy most fighters. After all, Hopkins will be a sure-fire inductee into the Boxing Hall of Fame at Canastota, New York, and Winky Wright may be the most highly avoided fighter of his generation. Undefeated middleweight champion Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor not only faced these great fighters but also did not lose in all three bouts. He accomplished these monumental feats by wrestling the title from Hopkins in a disputed decision, capturing another close decision over the legend and then retaining his title for a second time by battling Wright to a draw.

I'm torn here. In the start...I really REALLY believed in Taylor. Part of me still does...but I TRULY BELIEVE that he lost to Hopkins in that first fight. He won the second one & I commend him...but again...comes the second plague...HE LOST TO WRIGHT.

He knows it, Wright knows it, & most of his fans know it.

That all being said...Taylor can control the division...provided that he plays his cards right...& in the event that he has a close call...he keeps kissing a** at HBO. They have their new Golden Boy in Taylor & he can make good on his role.

While it sounds overly critical...my opinion of Taylor is high & hopeful.

I voted for Option #2.
