    Retirement is the right thing for Taylor now. If not retirement, a long break followed buy at least 2 small fights.

    Getting Repeatedly knocked the **** out might have something to do with that.

    i believe you may have counted pavliks stats twice, so it would be something like 90-0 or 86-0

    Yea i did because overall in his 4 losses the combined records added up to 117-0. whether its one person or not his record still counts to so you have an idea of the kind of opponents jt lost to.

    Not fair. I spoke to someone who would definitely know, and was told Jermain was more interested in titty bars than getting in shape before fights.

    As to be overrated, I was told there is video of Taylor getting his ass kicked by Andy Lee in sparring.

    He has no Chin. None. That is his problem.

    Thats why I liked Jermain, he's never backed down to anyone. The quality of his opposition has always been great and he's never lacked heart.

    J.T. will fight anyone, anywhere. However, he is not a boxing fan. I remember reading or hearing-that he would rather watch television soap operas than boxing. He also has a very low boxing I.Q., certain things should be second nature, but they aren't to J.T. I think he did his best.

    Fighting anyone anywhere is something we all wish all our fighters did.

    But to be a boxer and not be a boxing fan i never understood, that kind of annoys me as well as not make any sense, when i know more about boxing (knowledge of fighters existince) than world champs, i kinda of figured youd want to know your competition as much as your promoter/managers. Haha I started liking roger mayweather more when he showed how much boxing knowledge he had on 24/7.

    I was never impressed with him coming up the ranks. He showed an amazing jab early in his career but that disappeared as his opponents got better.

    Taylor is much better than Dirrell or Ward any day.
