Maybe Jermain Taylor ought to think of honourable ways to retire.

    Since most of the best analysts on here agreed that SMW is just too much for him and if Pavlik exposes that suspect jaw that most of us see, then he'll only have so many avenue's for moderate success. If you get KOed by a B level guy who's nothing more than solid and willful just on pressure and hitting power, it definitley limits your range of what you can do.

    So since Pavlik KOing Taylor is the most likely scenerio, what ways can Jermain Taylor honourably retire?

    I say he has a rematch with Wright since Wright cannot punch and is near the end of his run as a top class operator and then win or lose cashes out and calls it a day, since he doesn't seem to enjoy fighting anyway.

    It'd also help if he admitted where he was incorrect instead of just stuttering within an insecure pride stance, because the world knows all about Jermain Taylor.

    The real question is what will Joke Alzaghe do after Kessler beats him?

    He won't retire. He doesn't need to. Even in a loss he wouldn't need to.

    He'll have no avenue's, maybe he can apologise to Amsterdam and make it all better, only I wouldn't accept his apology, so it would be right back to the drawing board with no other options than getting KOed a few times by B levels from the higher divisions.

    So what honourable ways can Jermain Taylor call it a day?

    Fighting Hopkins twice, Wright, Ouma, and now Pavlik has gained him the respect he deserves, just because the JUDGES don't score the bout the way you see it does not make him any less or more of a fighter. Would he beat a prime Hopkins? I doubt it, but there isn't 10 middleweights in history that could so get off his ass. His level of competition in his last 5 fights is better that Calzaghes last 15 title defenses, and your boy Joe wants nothing more than to get in the ring with Taylor, so give the man the credit he deserves.

    He deserves minimal credit.

    But the question is however, 'How can Taylor retire honourably after getting blown away by the average Pavlik', to be precise.

    What is your answer?

    Well if he gets blown away (which I doubt he will) he can move up to 168 and fight Bute who would be a quality win for Taylor, then he would beat an aging Calzaghe, and go off into the sunset a 2 division undisputed champion. :good

    You need to try harder to bait me next time.

    Anyway, I still await your honest answer on the subject, and anyone elses for that matter. It's a serious subject.

    Bull****, there's nothing serious about this subject. You're just trying to be funny as usual. Key word trying. :roll:

    Either way, if Taylor lost, he'd keep on fighting.
