Taylor ruined his own career?

[RichCCFC]

Jermain Taylor had it all. He beat Hopkins twice, drew with Winky and was still Middleweight champion of the world. He had generous offers to fight Calzaghe and a few other names but he opted to risk it all on a 'tune up fight' with Pavlik. Theres no denying Taylor is a ballsy man, he ducks no one but after his loss to Pavlik his career looks really bleak.While before he was happy to knock back decent offers from Calzaghe the other week he was literally begging to fight him at SMW. it's a shame what has happened to him really.
The question is, if Taylor beats Pavlik convincingly can he repair his resume? Can he fight Calzaghe after he is done bashing up on Snaggletooth and get a decent split of the income? or do you think he will have to beat Pavlik for a second time?

Well he knew Pavlik wasn't a tune up he was his mandatory. He can recover but I don't think he can afford to get KO again.

[Mozza]

I know there's a lot of hype surrounding Pavlik just now but I wouldn't get too carried away just yet.

[Haterfree]

I dont think JTs career is ruined. The 1st fight with Pavlik might even get FOTY. If he beats Pavlik the 2nd time he might end up in a famous trilogy with Pavlik. He's headlining his 3rd PPV & even if he loses he has a big enough name to get another big fight at some point.

The biggest mistake of Taylor's life was when he made a rematch clause to fight Pavlik at 166, he basically signed his own death warrant. Taylor is gonna get knocked out cold again by Pavlik and his career will be pretty much over.

taylor is gonna get punished for his ******ity
and we all get to watch it nice

Champions don't recover from getting knocked out in decisive fashion.

[Silencers]

I don't think his career is ruined just yet. Losing to Pavlik again by devastating KO could do it though.

[Sin City]

Actually Pavlik was Miranda's tune up for Taylor.. Now that boy made it hard for himself to come back up. Taylor still has a long career ahead of him.. People be putting wayy too much emphasis on losses now a days.

taylor could have won in the second if he was a little more patient after the kd. Taylor career is not over jones jr got ko'd twice in much more embarrasing fashion and now he is in a big fight that people are anticipating. hope taylor wins this next fight.
