I still believe in Jermain Taylor... Hes accomplished a hell of a lot in this sport, and more times then not he would get the W over Froch, but last night he fell short. I hope he gets another chance for a big fight or even a rematch because he is deffinantly more then worthy of an opponent for anyone in or around that division.
Did Taylor won or lost your respect last night?

Well at least Taylor didn't quit unlike your boy Cotto did. That the difference, you should try to get a new role modelComment

No because those fighter never beat anybody great....I can't think of any person that those guys beat that were great. His losses to Pavlik and Froch were not blow out....****, he was beating both of them (dropped them both) before he "lost" it. He stamina is no excuse because he's a world class athlete and this should not be an issues but to place him in the same boat as those three is ludicrous.Comment

zab stopped spinks and taylor got a decision over spinks that some people feel he shouldn't of got and the only great fighter taylor beat was hopkins and both those were fights alot of people thought taylor lost then he fought winky to a draw but many felt that winky won so taylor has only beat 1 great fighter and those were contraversial wins.No because those fighter never beat anybody great....I can't think of any person that those guys beat that were great.

i never thought taylor was winning any of his fights with pavlik the 1st fight i thought taylor only won 2 rounds mostly everything he hit kelly with was punches behind the head but he was beating froch but that just makes my point that he's a ****** fighter like cintron judah and harris all these fighters losses were more there own faultNo because those fighter never beat anybody great....I can't think of any person that those guys beat that were great.

Yeah I have the same exact opinion as you... My buddy was over watching it, and I said exactly.. I have faith in JT's skills up until around round 8, then after that I have no idea... and thats exactly how it went..He showed he has heart to me. That KD in the 12th, he looked out of it. I didn't think he'd get up at all, but he did. Even when he was hurt bad in the 12th, he tried to fire back too. He really needs to sort his **** out though. He fades in the late rounds all the fucking time...
I definitely still have respect for him, that first knockdown was ridiculous.. bad, I couldn't believe he stayed calm and got up, and tried to fire back.. he stood there the last 20 seconds taking BOMBS refusing to go down.. He got outgunned in the end of the fight.. but that doesn't mean he didn' show heart.Comment
