Taylor's stamina problems won't be solved simply by working hard, and certainly not be being intense in training camp. He always trains hard, but he is always too tense in the ring, and that's what causes him to tire. It's not harder training that he needs, it's more intelligent training.
Jermain Taylor Deep in Camp For Abraham Bout

To me his main focus should be on conditioning first and foremost. He better be running religiously, sparring 15 rounders, using a strength and endurance coach etc whatever it takes. Personally I feel since his lack of stamina is his very well known Achillees heel and it is still an issue tells me either he needs a new training staff or he's just not cut out to be a championship level fighter. I think it may be a combination of both. He still hasn't learned to hold on when hurt. He back himself into a corner which is Rule Number One on what not to do! This is boxing 101. I'm eagerly waiting to see what transpires out of this. Only wish fighters like Bute, Andrade and Green wern't excluded.Comment

Arthur Abraham is a power puncher but he's a counter puncher.
Jermain Taylor has lost to Pavlik and Froch which are guys that throw everything they have.
Arthur doesn't have the workrate of the 2 guys that defeated Jermain Taylor, his only chance is to land a big one and try to finish him within that time.
Otherwise Jermain Taylor will win a big UD, unless they rob him out there in Germany wich is no surprise cause that's what they usually do over there.Comment

Taylor cant control his pace, he has no ring inteligents! His conditioning is not bad but he has no inteligents, thats why he got knocked out by Froch. hes no smart fighter. He can box verry well, he can punch, but hes a dumb fighter. But it will not be an easy fightr for Arthur, Taylor is one of the hardest, if not the hardest opponent for Abraham in this tournament. Taylor and Kessler are the only guys im worrying about, the others will be no problem for Arthur.Comment

I watched the fight live; you act like Froch landed a lucky punch to pull out the win. The fact is, Froch started turning the fight around in the mid to late rounds and that's what enabled him to press the fight and get the KO...Yeah I know about their ******** first fight....it the fight where for 35 mins and 46 sec, Jermain Taylor was smacking around a limited, brawler who only answer in any boxing match is to land a right hand instead of learning how to box.
The day will come when Froch will run into a Hopkin/Toney/Mosley type fighter (a fighter with a helleva chin) and then his power won't be there to save him....he will then have to rely on boxing but here the problem....HE CAN'T BOX so that means he's phucked!!!!Comment
