People calling for Taylor to quit are *****!!!

[The_Visitation]

Taylor was only a round from winning a lopsided UD against Froch last night. A round from being the SMW champion of the world. He embarrassed Froch, and made him look amateur at times. He showed all the attributes of an elite boxer. A great jab, a great defence, and great power. The only thing he lacked was the finish.

That and managing to go 12 rounds without being KO'd that is. A small matter, I know. And saying Froch was second best for 90% of the fight is, frankly, delusional, Froch owned the second half of that fight, one judge had him ahead and even the TV guys had it even going into the 12th.

I wouldn't call for Taylor to quit, but he should maybe give it careful thought. He isn't going to walk into a rematch, and will have to earn another shot at Froch, or whoever beats Froch. RJJ is past it, and everybody knows it, a win might earn Taylor some cash but wouldn't throw him back in the SMW mix. Full credit to Jermaine if he does earn that shot, but as you said yourself;

With the right training and mentality, he can get back to the top, and beat the Kessler's, the Froch's, and the Bute's of this world.

Does he still have that mentality, and that desire? Taylor must ask himself that. It was pure will that won Froch that fight; Taylor wanted it, but Froch wanted it more.

taylor will never be an elite fighter again but could definitely be a belt holder.

People calling for him to quit are wrong. Taylor still has a lot to offer boxing. The first thing he needs is a trainer who will teach him how to box intelligently in the later rounds. How to frustrate an opponent and tie them up. And instill in him a mentality that will get him through tough times.

For me personally, it was hard to see a fighter ready to start his career afresh, and lose his opportunity in the final moments. It was a fight he should have won, but somehow lost, even though in my eyes, he deserved to win. That's not to take anything away from Froch. He is a world class operator, and proved it by overcoming the odds, and snatching a victory from defeat. But he was second best for 90% of the fight, and that doesn't sit right with me.

So to anybody that says Taylors career is over, I will argue the opposite. He only needs a win over a big name like Roy Jones, and he is back in the title mix again. With the right training and mentality, he can get back to the top, and beat the Kessler's, the Froch's, and the Bute's of this world.

You're either 12 or a damn fool.

So..all Taylor has to do is beat a half-dead Roy Jones and everything will be ok??

As if that will increase his stanima and reverse all the damage he has and certainly will take if he keeps fighting.

Jermain is in the wrong game...he should quit while he is ahead.

He doesn't know what to do when his opponent is hurt..and even worse...he doesn't know what to do when HE is hurt.

Taylor can't beat the top guys at 168..he has to get out NOW.

Because you count froch missing his punches and hitting taylors gloves as landed punches. 8-4 Taylor was winning

If I were you I would take myself outside and hit myself repeatedly in the face.After your predictions in previous threads you should show some respect.You got it wrong,hold ya hands up and stop whining like a little *****.

I didn't say everything would be ok. An easy win over Roy Jones would get his name back in the lights and make him a legitimate opponent again for the top guys. With improvement he could get to the top again. At this present time he will be fighting bums, and he deserves more than that.

And if anything, your post made you sound 12. That time of the month?

[GrizzleBoy]

Stop acting like ****s and talk nicely you ****s.

A win over SHOT TO HELL Jones won't do **** for Taylor or anybody else.

Taylor can't fight for 12 rounds and has taken TOO MUCH punishment..he should quit and enjoy the rest of his life before he gets hurt or even killed.

Jermain Taylor 28-3-1 kayoed twice.Its not sounding that good anymore is it?
