    I just thought, it is such a pity Wba doesn`t have their "super" champion in this division... Just imagine: Wba super-super middleweight champion of the World!!!

    P.S. Taylor is a very good fighter with lack of stamina... that`s it... And in my mind he showed real heart while he was trying to survive the last round in Froch fight!

      I'm tired of hearing Taylor talk. I need some results, even if it's against one of my favorites, like Abraham. Little Rock needs this win.

          JT always says that he gonna come back and redicate himself. And all we get is the same thing over, looks good in the begging and then he gasses out. He has the skills but mentally he breaks down in the end of the fights. When he tries to pace himself the fights are horrible. AA is a smart offensive fighter with a lot of accuracy. If JT is not ready to keep AA busy thruout the whole fight he is gonna lose

            Huh? No excuses. Taylor dominated the first half of the fight wit Froch, but Froch came back in the 2nd half and finished him. He was lookin pretty good in that fight and still had his moments in the back half when Froch was stagin his rally. Can't say he looked unprepared, he just underestimated the toughness of Froch.

              Same old song and dannce w Taylor. You'd think after the setbacks (read: LOSSES) he's suffered that he'd learn his lesson and take this craft seriously. For him to come out and say he didnt prepare for Froch is a JOKE.

              It's a SHAME that HBO usurped Hopkins middlweight title reign for an undisciplined, unproven guy like Jermain.

              and, for the record, I've met Jermain, been in his camp. He's one of the nicest, most genuine guys I've met in this game, and I've met a few. But it's absolutely frustrating to hear him say that he's not preparing correctly.

              The biggest mistake he ever made was getting rid of Pat Burns.

                I think that Taylor should beat Abraham and I would pick him over Froch if/when they fight again.

                  JT is one of the most frustrating boxers because he has talent and has accomplished some good things in the ring but he needs to train harder and use his best weapons, like his jab, more often.

                  It's especially frustrating seeing him have Pavlik and Froch down and hurt but not getting them out of there and ending up gettin KO'd as a result.

                    LMFAO @ Hopkins ruining Taylor. Hopkins doesn't ruin decent fighters his own size... he looses to them (Calzaghe, Taylor x2, Jones).

                    Pavlik certainly put a dent in Taylor's mind with that brutal first fight. Taylor did a lot better in the rematch though... very close.
