Considering his "loss" to Froch, I believe JT has more at stake than anybody in this tournament. If he loses, I'm afraid we may have seen the last of him at the top. Anybody think he could come back from a defeat by Abraham?

considering hes in a tournament that forgives losses, i dont think anyone is done after one fight -
If taylor loses he might not have actually lost.. since it's germany.Comment

If he gets badly KO'd, I think so. I dunno if he'd have confidence enuf to keep on wit the tourney.Comment

He has work lined up for the next year or two with this tournament, so I think as long as the fight was competitive he'll be alright.Comment

You know I'm pretty emotional about this because there hasn't been a whole lot of great athletes from Arkansas. Scottie Pippen, Corliss Williamson, Darren McFadden, Matt Jones, Jermain Taylor.Originally posted by Matt Marvelous View Post
Taylor was the undefeated, undisputed MW champion of the world. As I drove down I-40 I remember seeing huge billboards with his face on it. He met Bill Clinton and he was honored. Jermain is a humble guy and I just got this gut feeling that his career will be tarnished if he loses again soon. It's the sport, I know. There's always somebody out there tougher, or somebody who just has your number.
I'm a Floyd fan, but to be honest, Jermain Taylor burnt down bridges for the citizens of Arkansas. He gave every kid in the ****** in Little Rock a role model to look to. A reason to believe and realize that you don't have to sell rocks to make a living. Little Rock might not sound like much but it's a ROUGH PLACE. I know at one time it was in the top 5 crime ratio per capita in the nation. I'm not going to cry like Mike did or anything, but I wanted to share with some of the people who may not be familiar with his situation. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Just a regular kid living paycheck to paycheck. To see how he's risen astonishes us. Anyway, I'll quit babbling. I just felt like I had to share this and I hope I don't get a lot of criticism for this post. Thanks guys for having a place where I can come to talk boxing.Comment

Considering that his next fight will be vs. Ward, even if he gets KO'd by AA, he can still do good in this tourney...Comment

If he doesn't win in the tournament, he still isn't done. He's just gonna become a gatekeeper.Comment

In a word the answer would be a yes from me !!!!!
But i like Jermaine in this fight , Arthur is slow and his defence is not great , i think this could have FOTY written on it .
Still worry about Taylor's heart/balls !!!!!!!Comment
