    I have heard this talk from JT before but at least he know's where the problems lie. A good conditionioning coach and a shrink should be top of his wishlist. In all seriousness though, I hope the guy sorts out his evident problems, shines in the tournament and proves the doubters (inc. me) wrong.

    When you say AA is limited, what do you mean? Second, AA has been fighting guys who are bigger than him, and he's been beating them, and those guys had reach advantages. It is going to take a true warrior to beat AA, and it will take a superb boxer to out box AA, and I don't see that fighter at 168.

    Your picking King Arthur to win the tournament?

    Me personally I think his lack of size and workrate in the ring will prevent him from winning this tournament.

    His boxing ability, his height/reach, his footwork, his workrate....

    Come on, if you think AA is the real deal and has few limitations then you are crazy...or German.

    No you don't.

    Just asking. I find some fans have an agenda. Don't really like JT, just want him to do well so thier fighters victory over him looks better.

    I've always liked JT. I'm rooting for him.

    I like AA a lot, but think the final will be AA losing to Kessler.

    I like Taylor, he seems a nice guy. I'd like to see him win the tournament or at least do very well in it! Everyone (or most people) are clearly underestimating Taylor citing him as the weak link in the tournament!

    However, he is a seasoned pro & no other fighter apart from Kessler (maybe) has fought the opposition Taylor has! I'm afraid JT is really up against it against Abraham who I'm sure, will surprise any of the other guys at 168lbs by how strong he's going to be, even more so at the higher weight! He was depleting himself to make MW!

    It always seems like you can hit Arthur with whatever you like, an axe, a hammer, run him over, but he's always there looking for to hunt you down! Taylor should box, not get drawn in, because if he does, he will come up a cropper! Arthur is fcuking beats, strong as fcuk & he won't be drained at SMW!

    As long as JT isn't fighting KP, I'll be rooting for him. If JT does really well in this tourney, Pavlik/Taylor III could become a viable fight. If that happens, **** Taylor!

    I was a JT fan. but I admit he kind of lost me with the Spinks and Ouma fights. He fought Ouma just a few months after I started paying close attention to Pav. I told everyone, "If Taylor lets Pavlik back him up and unload the way Ouma did, Taylor is going down."

    The way JT fought in the first Pavlik fight he won me back. In the second fight I was so into it that when Pav caught JT with that body shot in the 11th, I let out a completely involuntary "Oh No!"

    I would like JT to do well in the tourney, but didn't he go to the Poconos for the same reasons to prep for Kelly...

    JT has too much unnecessary body and hand movement. He fights tense. If he keeps his hands up, circles his opponents and throws controlled, meaningful punches, he wins this fight.

    My prediction is that Taylor/Abraham will show us whether or not Pavlik and Froch ruined Jermain. Look at it this way: Jermain Taylor went 24 rounds with BHop and registered two wins. He went 12 rounds with a still viable version of Winky Wright, and gave us 19 edge of your seat rounds with Pavlik. If a fighter who can operate at that level loses to Arthur Abraham, it is time for that fighter to retire.
