Jermain Taylor Congratulates Arthur Abraham on The Win

[EL ANIMAL]

can't say anything bad about jermain taylor. He brings it everytime and only fights against the cream of the crop. Always conducts himself like a professional inside and outside the ring.

I don't care if you're from the uk, the us or ****ing neptune, giving the man **** for getting knocked out and receiving a concussion while trying to entertain us fans is pretty low.

my man i am with u on that one!

I'm so happy to hear he's doing well. Whatever he decides to do he will continue to have my support. Part of me wants to see him try to regain another title, but I just don't know if he should or if it's worth it. He gave the sport many memories, and he never turned down a challenge. Boxing needs more fighter like him. God bless you Jermain, and good luck with everything.

He's made a lot of money (not by the standards of some megastars but he's still made far more money than most people earn in their entire lifetime). He's also done far better than most boxers ever do legacy-wise, including beating an ATG twice. But he should retire now, IMO. Three brutal knock-outs in five fights, with the last of them being the most brutal of them all, means he's going to be seriously risking his long term health if he carries on. What could he realistically achieve now that would justify the risk of ending up with brain damage? Nothing, IMO, so he should retire, especially as he has a wife and three kids to take care of. But I suspect he won't, unfortunately.

Jermain Taylor will always get my respect.

I always liked JT. Part of me wants to see him retire for his safety, and part of me thinks he needs some extended time off and a new training staff.

[youngswish23]

[..David..]

great respect to this warrior...

Say what you want to say about him but he fights with his heart out

In my opinion, Jermain Taylor was never a good fighter. I always thought he got lucky against Hopkins and I knew that as soon as someone with a good punch (Edison Miranda or Kelly Pavlik) would definitely knock him straight out. He only has success when fighting people that can't hurt him or people who don't really have knockout power. I thought that Cory Spinks beat him and so did Winky Wright. He has been getting lucky on the scorecards for a long time.
I am happy that everyone else can now clearly see how bad of a fighter JT really is. If he continues in this tournament, he will definitely lose his next two fights and he will become nothing more than a glorified gate-keeper for the 168-lb division (which he already is even without his next two fights).

Good riddance to Jermain Taylor the Professional Boxer...

[Easy-E]

props to Taylor for being a great champion. hope he enjoys his vacation.

a creation

That's the good thing left for JT to say. He can't say otherwise because he was clearly knocked out cold. So instead of making excuses like some fighters did if they lost, admit the defeat and congratulate the victor.
By they way JT is not really a good fighter. His fights before hopkins are all han****ed. He just got lucky to have an unaccurate judges or a blind judges when he got the victory against hopkins. Hence, when he become the champion in the middleweight class, he faced the real obstacle n his way up. He faced kassim oma, cory spinks and winky wright. All of those fights, he have a hard time to get the victory. He won by only slim margin and in fact, he almost lost to wright. Never a single fight that he score a knock out when he was a champion instead, he got knocked out by Pavlik. In his comeback, there was'nt also a decisive victory that he ever recorded, all by slim unanimous or split decisions, instead again, he was knocked out by froch and recently by Abraham so badly. To sum it up, JT is no much to the real competitors. I remember Hopkins commented after the Pavlik fight when he got knocked out and I quiote: " I am not surprise because he is just a creation". I strongly agree with Hopkin. JT is just a creation and not a made man for himself in the history of boxing.
