Who thinks taylor should and will drop out the tournement?

Can't imagine a fair way of entering a new guy to the mix, without him starting with a point disadvantage. Who would want to do that? What if Dirrell gets blown away in a brutal fashion? What if Froch loses every round? Should the tourney then be abandoned altogether? No matter what, I bet Taylor won’t be the only one who gets a real beating in the duration of the tourney.

He was included because they wanted 3 Americans and 3 from other countries. And Allan Green was probably not considered based off what Miranda did to him and Arthur beat the man who beat Green. I think Jermain is done but will carry on for the check and not fight again. He was clearly not the same fighter against Arthur. Bernard ruined him. He got the decisions over Bernard and was clearly not ready, he's made it this far based off, GIFTS, natural ability, and talent. hopkins ruined JT mentally, but pavlik busted up that chin.

JT should've never been included in the tourny...

If Taylor does drop out and a replacement comes in, how would the point thing figure in seeing as the replacement missed the first fight?

I think JT should retire too, it was very sad to see, like someone else said, he's one of the nicest guys in Boxing.

Yeah,i admit!!!JT should retire. I just saw him at the fight here in Berlin...His time is over...

They need to replace him. That shit was sad to see. I knew he was going to get Kayoed. But he is going to be like Terry Norris, if he continues in this tourney

i think JT should retire... he's a gatekeeper and has already seen his best days.

If Taylor pulled out, wouldn't his replacement be at a big disadvantage in the points table?

He should pull out, they should have made it a knockout tournment so this sort of thing wouldnt be a problem.

bute wont replace taylor. i mean everyone knew he was one of the top 168lbers. and they include taylor coming of a loss and dirrell who never did shit? come on.. the ppl in charge of the tournament said they contacted bute who turned it down, his ppl deny it but what makes more sense? allan green is deserving and willing to step in. give him the call. as for taylor.. im just devastated.. i feel like shit.. feels like i lost myself, or like my daddy lost or something. terrible, terrible, terrible.. these type of things make me question if theres really a God.. why does this happen to jermain taylor of all ppl? the nicest person in the sport. Bute wasn't invited.His agent nad Ken Herschman from Showtime both confirmed it.

It's not healthy. Taylor needs to forget his pride, the people around him need to do what's best for his life. Getting KOed like this over and over will do horrible things to him. At this point it is mental as well, and throwing him in there with other fighters from this tourney will just end up the same as what Abraham did to him.

Bute-Andrade II winner needs to get a call.

Pavlik-Williams winner or bute to step in who you guys want?

Just a thought why not the winner of pavlik-williams to step in for taylor.. what you guys think? Taylor needs to go. Pavlik is an HBO fighter. And Pwill should go to 154 after Pavlik, win lose or draw.

Im sorry homey,but I think Jermain should retire He's shot like a mofo.Pavlik ruined him

Just a thought why not the winner of pavlik-williams to step in for taylor.. what you guys think?

Drop out? They need to pull him out. If there is any justice, any concern, any real laws in this sport, this guy should be pulled out. He will be facing bigger men in the next two fights. What if he is seriously hurt? He could be killed and that will not be good.
