Taylor versus Wright: A Gentleman’s Press Conference?

Middleweight champion Jermain Taylor and challenger Winky Wright are doing something you might not expect from top fighters--they're showing each other a lot of respect.

At a news conference yesterday to promote their June 17th bout, the two greeted each other with a handshake and an embrace, with Wright saying Taylor is a great young fighter. And Taylor saying it's an honor to fight Wright.

This is defininatly a different tone from Taylor's lost bout, his rematch with Bernard Hopkins.
