Jermain Taylor should be kicked out of the tournament

i think he deserves to have one more fight in the tournament and see how it goes

 

taylor's weakness is his lack of aggression. he proved that tonight and he never came out of his shell.
he wont take control of the fight so i agree with you.

 

Why? He's a shadow of his former (not even that great) self.

 

What the **** were you smoking?

 

Pavlik didn't steam roll over Taylor, as Taylor was winning the first fight. The second one was awfully close, he was also ahead on the cards against Froch. His got issues, nobody is denying that, but it's better to make that assessment after his second fight in the tournament-and should he lose that he is out anyways.

 

Never made a bad call yourself, then, dip****?

 

Taylor is washed up, that's what I said a couple of weeks ago. Bute should join the tournament instead.

 

His next fight is against Andre Ward. If he beats the rookie, he can still do something in the tournament.

 

If he exits this tournament, then where does he go? I really can't see the former undisputed, undefeated middleweight champion of the world, walking away from this sport, with a couple of last minute KO's against him. If he doesn't retire and chooses to walk away from this tournament, then where does he go? He brings **** all name/prestige value to anyone at this stage. I think he fights, Dirrell in the 2nd stage and if Dirrell does the business tonight, then JT could be inline for a title shot in his next fight. That puts him back at the top.

 

Are you sure it's Ward? I was under the impression it was Dirrell.:think

 

NOBODY should get kicked out of the tournament. That's the frigging point of the tournament! If he retires, that's another story.

Allan Green would have gotten his ass beat worse than Taylor, IMO.

 

...and Bika would have been beaten too, most likely. But neither would have come off a TKO loss.
