Jermain Taylor

I see more bad than good if Taylor continues, however this is ultimately for the people closest to the situation to determine. Who knows, maybe a few more lower level fights will have him back in shape in spite of what most of us think. I personally doubt this from what I've seen so far though.

 

hes gunna get worked wen he steps up

 

Nah, I think the first Pavlik fight ruined him and he was never the same. I thought he was a top guy at one point but that happens to the best of them (Melrick Taylor for example). I think he should retire . . . it scares me eerytime he walks in the ring

 

I've always liked Jermain Taylor and feel the same way. Father time is undefeated and he has already seen the peak of his career. The man has a family to think about first, his career should come second.

 

taylors left hand is always down there it was a damn good shot and he stepped right in to it **** happens if he hadnt been what he had know one would be even concerned.
i still think he can get there

 

the second fight was close as hell i though HBO were all over pavlicks nuts during that fight

 

hes like roy the way he keeps that hand down. and his reflexes r not that good as they use to be. keep the hnads up a little more, and watch the difference in his performance

 

both had good careers and were lineal champions. A little overrated, but still good fighters

 

Guys hes on the comeback trail, hes doing it right stepping up his training building his stamina while still fighting ranked guys, hes not calling out the Wards and Martinez' of the world just yet, hes an improving fighter no one can deny that. Dont forget the guy has been to the 12th round 11 times, hes not the only guy out there with stamina issues, Khan, Vitali, Martinez, Cotto Bute all fade somewhat in the later rounds. Give the guy a break

 

Taylor needs to stay away from the punchers. He's a good guy and I hope to see him win another title, but he'll need to be matched very carefully.

 

A very fair comment :good

 

He drops his left hand, and he's been allowed to get away with it for too long meaning it really is a part of his muscle memory now.

Taylor burns nervous energy, I think that's why we always see him touch his nose over and over, he isn't comftorble. He'll get KO'd if he fights a Martinez, or a Priog. His post fight interview was a little disturbing to tell you the truth.

 

Post fight in ring interview he stated he was ready for a title shot.

 

Watch closer, it isn't his nose, he has an invisible fly on his forehead.
