    Let's not bash him or post anything negative about him, because he showed he has a warriors' heart by being willing to go to Europe and fight Abraham.

    Let's not forget, he was coming off a KO loss to Froch, and never had a warm-up fight. He went from being stopped by one undefeated world titleholder, to fighting another undefeated powerful puncher. And he was 14 seconds from finishing today's fight on his feet...

    I feel sad for him, and hope he recovers from this devastation loss and wins his next fight (against Ward in early 2010, I think).

    Taylor is a warrior. He went out on his shield. I wish him good health and full recovery.

      I would be suprise if AA KO Froch to be honest, AA's style is tailor made for froch who likes fighter standing in front of him, AA would be in front of froch all night giving froch the chance to throw is best punches like the uppercut.

      Froch cant deal with movers, Like to fight at his own slow pace while looking for opening, All of this is what Arthur like to do, It would be a great fight and i cant wait to see it.

        I definitely was fearing for his health going up against Abraham - the only one I could envisage hurting the other in any way was Arthur.

        But Taylor's most dangerous fight of the round-robin stage is out of the way now, he should carry on if he wishes to.

          I got a lot of respect for Jermain, I will be rooting for him against Ward.
