    Jermaine Taylor had(has) so much physical talent, but for whatever reason, hasn't lived up to his seemingly enormous potential. Big, strong, fast, accurate, and seemed to be on pace to become a huge star - especially after the Hopkins fights.

    After that, he lost to Pavlik and fought a bunch of little guys - and could never get a KO that he should have been capable of. What gives?

    Where do you think he's going to end up - in terms of fighting weight and potential belts?

    I hope he beats Froch and becomes a belt holder at super middle and him and the Viking Warrior meet in the future ..That's my hope ..

    Retirement would be a idea.

    This would be sweet, I'm a fan of JT, and it would mean I could finally see Kessler on my TV again.

    Bad stamina, and a poor defence is Taylor's problem imo. If Taylor had the stamina of Joe Calzaghe, and if he kept his right hand up around his chops instead of his chest, he would got pretty far, because he does have lots of physical advantages.

    His power isn't really THAT great. He's never really knocked out anyone of merit, and it took a big combo to put an over-confident Pavlik down.

    He should outclass Froch, but he won't stand a chance against Bute or Kessler or Dirrell. And if Abraham moves up he'll knock Taylor out cold.
