He does have balls, im just afraid hes lost the eye of the tiger. Thats what he seemed to lack in the pavlik rematch and froch fight imo. He needs to find the mental strength and desire again within him, the tourney is his last realistic chance. Good luck to him.
Jermain Taylor has already had a very good career, he just has to rebound and recover with the right win.
True, he has fought very strong opposition for a long time. He has NEVER been beaten decisively. Some think he was cheated out of a win against Pavlik and others that he lost the first fight to Hopkins. However, both were close and could imo. have gone either way. At the end of the day - Jermain will be tough to beat for anyone just like he always has been. And he surely could win the entire Tourney.
