    Theirs nothing left of Taylor to even be a challenge to any of the super 6. This would be the fourth time he is KO'd or outpointed completely. He is getting worse with each fight.

      Yes, I think he should withdraw from the tournament, most have questioned his stamina, but his chin is more of a problem.

          Taylor's only chance at beating Ward is by KO. Ward is a defensive fighter and Taylor can't solve defense fighters (see Hopkins, Wright, Spinks, Abraham).

          Taylor's only chance to win on the cards is by hoping to match his speed, timing him and putting him on the canvas a couple times. I think it's possible, but unlikely.

          Oh, and go back to Pat Burns.

            Taylor is much to basic to beat Ward, he might be able to survive the fight and not get hurt. Taylor does not really need 12 rounds of punishment/frusterating boxing lesson.

            Taylor could not really do anything to Cory Spinks how he is going to get at Ward and he was a better fighter at that point.

              win the tourney? are you kidding me?

              how about win a fight first?

              the fact that Taylor was the ONLY one in the Super 6 coming into it off a knockout loss

              should have DQ'd him from entering.

              if another Super 6 is done in the future .. I would really like all fighters to either be on win streaks, or have to win a qualifying fight in order to be part of a Tournament

              because this is going exactly how I called it. Taylor lost brutally and now who really cares to see him fight again?

                Taylor is a far cry from the man that beat Bernard Hopkins, but I still think he should continue in this tournament. With Andre Ward next, he wouldn't be going up against a huge puncher or one that would be likely to hurt him.

                If Taylor can beat Ward, then fight Kessler and if you lose, retire. I'm sure this is what Dibella was thinking for Jermain. If you can win this tourney, all is forgotten. If not, hang em up.
                I don't think Taylor today is that different from the guy who beat Hopkins.
