    he should go back down to middleweight if he can. he cant compete with the power up in smw. that was a middle weight that knocked him out tonight. i honestly hope he doesnt fight kessler.

      I feel Taylor's been on decline ever since the second victory over Hopkins.

          They need to disqualify him from the tourney. I know that sounds harsh, because Taylor gives it his all whenever he steps in the ring. But he will end up talking like Mark Breland and Meldrick Taylor here in a couple years. This is about the guy's health.

            I think so. It's better for him to go off into the sunset. I don't think anybody would hold it against him.

              He was never the same after the first KO, kinda like RJ. Taylor seems like a cool dude I would hate to see him brain damages from a 4th KO. He should take some time to consider his options. I've always heard that after some people get KO'd its easier for them to get KO'd again, I think its called concussion syndrome. Feel bad for Taylor boxing is a tough game.

                he needs to retire he has made good money and if he wants to be in good health to enjoy it he needs to hang up the gloves he has lost 4 of his last five fight and was koed in 3 of them .

                  It's a sad sight. He should retire. I'm not watching his fight with Kessler. No point he will be brutally knocked out in that one. And it's just something I do not want to see.

                    Agree. he's a very classy guy who I believe should get out while he still has his faculties.

                      if he's going to continue (and i dont think he should) his trainer and camp better come up with a way more defensive gameplan, otherwise he's going to get KTFO again and again. There's NO reason why he should have been KTFO in the last few seconds by slower-than-**** Froch. And to have it happen again against Abraham? His camp needs to work on his stamina, because the guy runs out of juice *badly* in the championship rounds. Work on his stamina and D. Or else pull the eject handle and parachute out of the tourney.
