Allen Green would be an excellent replacement. I think he knocks Taylor out cold. He's the naturally biggest man in the tourney. Allen Greene also arguably has the best jab in the tourney and the most power.
ALLEN GREENE!!
ALLEN GREENE!!

Green Trained for a totally different fighter when he fought Simms, and Tarvis though he lacked power was a tricky awkward fighter who knew what he was doing. Green is severely underrated on this site I know he doesn't perform up to his potential sometimes but there is no doubt in my mind that the ability to beat anyone in the tourney or in the world at SMW is there for him.Comment

JT's last fight was pretty close. If he's healthy I don't see why he shouldn't continue. It's not a given Kessler beats him.
The Jermain Taylor that fought Abraham would beat Froch on most nights.Comment

What other criteria can a fighter possibly be rated on besides their performance in the ring?
If he is underrated on this site it is because he has done absolutely nothing with his career since he lost embarrassingly to Edison Miranda, who has been exposed as nothing but a crude slugger, the type of guy that Green should have beaten even with his physical problems.Comment

He has looked good in the ring before with highlight reel ko's like in the rest of the fights since Miranda other than the 2 you mentioned.. I am basing my opinion off of what ability I have seen even if we don't always see it . You are asking to much to think he should have beaten crude slugger Miranda who does have great power with his health problems and going down in weight which he ******ly did. Look at it like this Ward out boxed Miranda the whole fight didn't hurt him once and Green at 60% was able to knock him down even though he was out worked and almost stopped himself. Would Miranda with health problems at Allan's comfortable weight have gone 10 with Allan at 100%? I doubt it.Comment

I don't think he should drop out either. People are ****in' ******* these days. A few k.o losses and everyone loses their heart.
In the old days, motha****as got ktfo all the time and fought more often to boot.
If Jt wants to keep goin'. Good for him. But if he quits, Bute/Andrade winner is by far the best choice.
*** Allan Green's undeserving overrated ass.Comment

His highlight reel KOs have all come against either:
A) fighters will very shaky chins like Codrington and De Leon
or
B) Washed up vets or journeyman who have been stopped multiple times at lighter weights by average fighters.
For instance, it took Green 7 rounds to get rid of Carl Daniels in a fight at 168, Andy Lee did the job in 2 rounds at 160.
Green failed to stop Rubin Williams who was then stopped in his next 3 fights by guys who are not known for their power.
Sherwin Davis, well he was already getting knocked out by the Peter Manfredo's of the world a full 4 years before Green took such a huge risk by fighting him...Comment
