    and he wasnt getting paid millions to get hammered by mostly undefeated prospects or guys looking for tune ups...

    Audley Harrison
    Dominick Guinn
    Cengiz Koc
    Andre Purlette
    Shannon Briggs
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Malcolm Tann
    Sherman Williams

    Wade got knocked out 8 times in a row at one point

    taylor lost what again? 3 of 4 by KO? :patsch

    i feel bad for all boxers health....but the ones who made millions, far less then the ones making 500.00 a night

    Ok.
    Hes made his millions and is only risking his health.

    If Taylor can return to his old form he would beat Martinez. To bad his chin is permanently cracked imo. Add the ring rust to the equation he is screwed.

    I thought DiBella cut ties with Taylor, did he not? Anyway, I don't see this ending well. Always liked Jermain and hope his health holds up okay.

    Who "beat him up really badly" in the Hopkins, Wright, Spinks fights? Also what are you saying about Jeff Lacy, I was confused by the use of broken English, did you say Lacy put him down for the count?

    Assuming he took two tune up fights (and did well and his body responded OK) I believe he would beat Martinez. Martinez doesn't have Froch, AA, Pavlik type power. If you are trying to say Martinez would "out box him", I would disagree on the grounds that some of the best pure boxers of our generation couldn't "out box" him, and I don't believe 38 year old Martinez would. This would be a great fight, and one that I believe Taylor could/would win, given he performed well in two tune up fights AND had Pat Burns in his corner.

    I apologize for my broken English. Jeff Lacey knocked him(Taylor) down.
    He also had though fights with Spinks, Hopkins and Wright. Wright beat him up really bad.

    Dirrell vs Taylor? The more talent mixing it up the better for boxing....that's why the super middleweight division is so good right now

    Martinez has a good punch. Cintron thought he was head butted. Paul went to sleep. The punch that cut Kelly was a good hard clean punch. He just doesn't put them together much.

    No he didn't...like not even close (Lacy knockdown). Wright was a tough fight but hardly a "war" just a good hard competitive fight.

    No, I know he can punch, but he's not the size or power of Pavlik, AA, or Froch...these are the guys that put him down, that's what I meant, by no means did I mean he was feather fisted per se'.

    i hope they let him take his time and fight bums to build his confidence like he's starting all over again and i hope he's reuniting with pat burns. what i'd really like is him to retire.
