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

Haven't followed Amsterdam's posts re Taylor, but he seems to have called the outcome and is not exactly a fan of JT's :yep He is having a field day baiting everyone here.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

Agree. But you have tons of posters on ESB who apply the same logic that Amsterdam is re Taylor to the Wald's, Lennox's, and others. Do you correct them as well?

I don't think JT has a glass jaw either. Counterpoints: 1. he wasn't stopped earlier because the effect was - as it often is in boxing - cumulative; 2. in the 7th JT was shook up near the center of the ring before taking the big shot that drove him into the corner to be stopped. Did he ever take 2 such punches earlier? I'd have to review the fight, but don't think so; 3. lastly, I don't agree with posters that claim certain fighters have "glass" jaws. Most fighters have average jaws and if hit right or often enough will go down for a potential T/KO loss. Pavlik got up, steadied himself, and finished JT 5 rounds later.

 

I'm not, really...I don't like Greb very much.

How can you be a Calzaghe fan when you HAVE seen his fights? :hey

 

More trash. You are becoming a spammer like Carlito.

 

I'm with Amsterdam in that I see very little possible routes for Taylor to enjoy success -- I don't think he'd be a major player at SMW.

 

He has already had the chance and turned it down!! Now Kessler gets the money instead

 

And by the way, a fully fit Lacy DESTROYS Jermain Taylor
