it's good to hear this fight is being setup asap. I was getting pissed off listening to arum mention guys like john duddy as Pavlik next possible opponent. i think that the rematch could possibly be better than the original if taylor fights more relaxed and straightens his punches. for being such an amatuerish fighter at times he's done well for himself.

 

[prettyboywho]

I think its time for Taylor to get a new trainer. Someone to teach him defense. Someone like Floyd Sr.

 

[BigDigga]

agreed. he hasn't progressed at all under steward. i don't know if floyd sr would be good for jermain. maybe mcgirt would be a good choice, but he has too many fighters as it is.

 

[Captainobvious]

He needs to hire Freddie Roach and get his fundamentals and defense sharpened up.

 

[Rayman]

Alright! Let the smack talk begin again. I don't think Taylor can be trained any better than he was this time. He was boxing very well in rounds 5 and 6, but he was carrying his left around his waist as usual. That's just his style, and a perfect invitation to a right hand.

 

[TysonJones]

taylor needs one trainer adn one trainer only and that should be that white guy he used to have. no question about it, glad to hear the rematch is being setup fast. i didnt want to see pavlik physically destroy and end the hype of john duddy.

 

[Brutus]

I see Taylor winning the rematch no matter what trainer he has. His loss came as a big suprise to me but i think most of it was that he respect Pavlik abilitys and he payed for it that wont happen in the rematch i think, i still think taylor has the ede in every division but i still dont like the guy but that wont stop me from predicting him as the winner

And i agree with him getting that white guy back as his coach, altoguh manny is one of the best coaches out there if not the best.

 

[TysonJones]

not with guys who arent meant to have that skilllevel, prince naseem had his own style and it worked great and manny ruined him, same thing with taylor, the wild taylor who threw alot of punches and was always in shape would beat taylor. imo

 

[BigDigga]

enough with the white guy talk people. say it with me...pat burns!

 

[TysonJones]

thanks, we forgot his name because he 's been with f'in steward to f'in long.

Pavlik by a Mid way KO.

Pavlik by a Mid way KO.

:thumbsup: He can get a white, black, red, blue, brown guy to train him, it won't matter. He will lose the rematch. Taylor will always drop his left hand. It has become a very bad habit for him and will cost him again in the rematch.

one thing to remember is that it's never too late to learn new things. you just have to be willing, you know. taylor was progressing at a so so pace and sacrificed valuable develeoping time for a early title shot. maybe he should go back to burns who he probably trusted more. bottomline is steward is obviously not the trainer for him.

I just have never been impressed with Taylor and always thought he was overrated. I thought Hopkins beat him once and also thought Winky beat him. he looked like hell against Spinks, Couldn't finish a much smaller guy in Ouma. I won;t ever question his character, he seems like a likable guy, but will root against him ever time.

i feel you. I had taylor going 0-2-1 against winky and X(the draw was against hopkins). bernard was partially right about jermain being a creation. Ouma is as tough as nails, and spinks is hard for any fighter to look good against. judah was able to shine against him because of his speed. other than that who else has looked good against spinks?

 

[Rayman]

I guess it's natural to make excuses for Taylor, but he tried boxing and slugging. A new trainer is not going to make a difference at this stage in his careerer. The pressure got to him and he couldn't deal with it. Neither has any other Pavlik opponent. For whatever improvements he makes in the rematch Pavlik will also be an improved fighter.

Stewart said he knew it was over when Pavlik came out in round 3 unphased, he said he could see it in his eyes that he was very determined. I'm sure Stewart would not be able to put a full effort in a rematch.

Not surprising that Taylor couldn't put him away either, when was the last time he had a fighter in that kind of trouble? He just plain lost the skills to do it. His punches were wide and on the shoulder and over the head when they should have been underneath.

whether Bernard is partially right or not, I find it funny how I have never heard him say that about Taylor even once BEFORE the Pavlik fight. Think he'd be calling Taylor a creation if Pavlik didn't get up in the 2nd? Sure it's easy to say it now but where were those comments before?

he actually did say taylor was a creation prior to taylor losing. i think the interview was on boxingtalk about a month ago.
