Man Jermaine Taylor fell off, hard.

Taylor can still make a comeback. The man was only 14 seconds away from victory. There are still plenty of fights left in him and for him.

He fought Bernard Hopkins twice, what do you expect? Remember who said that? Nazim Richardson said it on Bernard Hopkins : Beyond the glory.

he's like zab, he looks great the first half of the fight, then *splat*. But unlike Zab he doesn't throw tantrums. The KO loss to Pavlik really got to him.

Winky had him beat. He seems to get gassed too easily lately

Taylor deserves more cred than he's gotten. I don't like the motherfukker cuz of the Bhop and Winky decisions, but he's fought nothin but champs or ex champs since teh 1st Bhop fight. That alone is reason for him not to have looked like the juggernaut he was supposed to be. And like Bringer said, he danced twice wit Ex. *death knell*

He's a around a B- level fighter with good athleticism, good jab, bad stamina. Stamina kills everything he does good. He's techinically flawed for sure, but calling him B- level is a little harsh I think. Consider that if the guy had the stamina to go a full 12, he'd be undefeated right now; I think that requires a little more skill than what a B- fighter has. Taylor with stamina and a killer instinct would be very, very hard to beat... at least by anyone fighting today.

I can't believe the guy that (who I never liked) that everybody thought was going to be the next Bernard Hopkins, and eventually go down as one of the best of the era fell off so hard and quick. The man went from getting decisions over Hopkins in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to being KOed by Carl Froch in Connecticut. You got to wonder what happened to his mentality. they moved him too fast. he fought hopkins too young.

I wouldn't say he fell off...Since dude always has trouble in the 2nd half of big fights. The fights with Hopkins he didn't do all that good imo I feel Hopkins lost those fights on his own by now doing much.

It probabaly was Fisher. I couldn't decide between the two, but I remember hearing it on Beyond the Glory for Hopkins lol. However, if anything, beating Hopkins twice should make you feel like the superman of the division. I don't think it had anything to do with Hopkins, I think it was more to do with the choices Taylor made - letting Pat Burns go and bringing in Steward, which just seemed to deteriorate his ring confidence from the get go. Taylor's a great guy though and I hope things look up for him.

He fought Bernard Hopkins twice, what do you expect? Remember who said that? I think it was Bouie Fisher who said that, and thread closed. I found my answer.

He fought Bernard Hopkins twice, what do you expect? Remember who said that? Nazim Richardson?

He fought Bernard Hopkins twice, what do you expect? Once you fight Bernard Hopkins twice, you're damaged goods. Remember who said that?

He can redeem himself somewat. I don't think any1 truly expected him to be the next Hopkins(title defense reign). I didn't expect him to lose to Pavlik tho and especially not Carl Froch. He's a around a B- level fighter with good athleticism, good jab, bad stamina. Stamina kills everything he does good.

Froch is a good fighter. But yeah it was that first knockout loss to Pavlik that did it I think. After that he never recovered.
