    They should.
    He's cheated his way to a victory and now hes cheated his way out of the tournament and most importantly HIS FANS>

    If there is a doctor who said that, then absolutely not. We want them healthy in the ring. But there needs to be proof. If it turns out there was no serious injury, he should be sued on breach of contract. As a mater of fact, that's something that should happen anytime someone pulls out of a sheduled fight.

    It looks very suspicious, but there's a possibility that he has genuine problems so I'm going to lay off calling him every known name under the sun for the time being. If it is true Abraham has a lot to awnser for.We'll just have to wait and see.

    :patsch He was asking simple and legitimate question. Now go pull those panties outta your crack some.

    Kessler pulled out with a dsocumented injury. Taylor was replaced as the behest of his team based onhis health. Not the same thing.

    **** you *****! it is more of a fuss that taylor has pulled out then dirrell. and its new im sure documents will prove dirrell has some sort of injury. like i said its only a fuss cause of what i said. but if anyone needs to be sued it would be taylor first. saying he needs to be sues is simply cause he is one of the stars of the tournament. so suck another dick ***** an get off his u ****.

    They should investigate the injury and see if it's legit. If not, yes, sue the ****.

    If he eventually comes back to fight someone else outside of the super 6, then yeah sue him. If he never fight's again, ok, then leave alone in retirement.

    :lol: Wow...that went right over your head.

    Look idiot, Taylor was pulled for health reason, hell, his trainer didn't even want him to continue. Not to mention, he pulled out AFTER a fight, not when one was already scheduled and a month away. Do you understand that difference? I doubt it...

    You're too emotional, and not to mention, too stupid to understand.

    No. There is no way Showtime can meet the high burden of proof required to win such a case. All in all, it would be a huge waste of time and money and another black eye for boxing.

    IF Dirrell is perceived to be a quitter, his punishment will come from fighting for little money in front of fewer people.
