    When you watch him fight he does a lot of wasted motion by twitching, rocking his upper body, etc. I also don't think he trusts his finishing abilities, as he's not as agressive as he used to be.

    He's always faded late. It's especially bad because he's always carried his left low, and when he gets tired it beomes more noticiable that he can't bring it up in time to block shots. He gets KO'd when he fades.

    But now he has promised to do a complete 180 and changed everything in his camp. I want to buy into it, but I've been let down too much. I'll still support him to the absolute end though.
    Good post, and i hope your right...I would love to see him start winning again. but i still don't think he's ready for AA. just my 2¢.

      As one of AA's biggest fans, I have to say that it would be a huge upset if he somehow manages to win against JT. JT is the clear favorite in this. The only chance AA has is to KO him or to win some rounds with a 2 point advantage. I don't think the last will happen though, because if AA connects flush on JT, he won't come back - AA is a hell of a finisher. BUT: If JT has the right game plan and uses his skills and his reach advantage, he's all wrong for AA and thus I've him as the favorite.

          I never even heard of the guy before i saw him get his jaw busted in a fight and still win it, if i remember correctly, and he won his fight after that. He looks like a very capable fighter, and I've seen a few of Taylors fights, and he just seems to have lost his edge, unfortunatly. Again, just my opinion. But I've seen enough to bet on him to win.

          in fact as i said before, in my area, hbo and showtime have seem to have had a "boxing blackout", and I have seen very few fights for a while. Now they are both showing fights that have happened in the last couple years during the week. Sometimes a live championship fight on fri. night.

          They said they will be telivising the super six. Some of these guys i never even heard of, so I'll probably only be betting on the Taylor fight.

              AA has yet to fight someone with the athletic ability of Jermaine. He is slow and Jermaine could def take advantage of this, although I don't see it happening. I favor AA just because I feel that Jermaine is done for as a top fighter and once he tastes power he will crumble but an old Jermaine would TKO AA.

                JT is legit and it wouldn't surprise me he wins the tournament (I'm not saying he will..but I can see it happening). The problem is, and will always be JT's inability to dominate fights when he gets into deep waters. JT's stamina and his lack of "ring smarts" seems to be his major problems. JTs only hope is to take his Abraham out early, otherwise were going to see another brutal KO similar to the Pavlik fight.

                  i wouldnt count JT out yet.. I think if he doesnt get gassed out hes in with a very good chance in taking this fight home, plus this is AAs first time fighting at super middleweight... How do you guys think he will adjust to moving up? Alot of people are counting JT out..... but you never know. JT has accomplished a lot in boxing all he needs now is to accomplish a comeback & what a way to do it by beating AA

                    i couldnt agree with you moore, he has to win via a early KO..... but that will be difficult as AAs Guard is rediculously hard to break!!!! Lets hope he can KO him!!!!

                      taylor was rocked hard by lacy and froch....im picking taylor to win but i wouldnt bet on it....if he uses his long jab and reach for 12 rounds he can outbox abraham who just fights in spurts and throws wide punches...

                      he has to kd abraham at least once to win in germany....
