    I would Retire, of course no one knows how he feels but he was knocked out cold and would be risking serious injury. I just hope hes well off financially. I hate seeing boxers do it strictly because their broke. Great warrior, its just time to realize reality and be responsible for the sake of his family.

      Jermain is young. He can still fight. His last fight wasn't that punishing.

        The guy had plenty of success in his career, it's not about his career anymore it's about his life. The guy should not risk permanent brain damage or death over a sport.

              before the fight he said he entered the tournament for his own sake. not for money, not for legacy.. "this is for jermain". i think he wants to prove something to himself more than anything, and a mans got to do what a mans got to do.

              then again i think he maybe should think about his family, his wife and mother were both there ringside when he got KOd, and they were both there in the locker room when he still didnt have his senses back. i felt so bad i wanted to cry when he got knocked out, imagine his family. he has a beautiful wife and a bunch of cute kids, maybe he should just hang up the gloves and enjoy his life. then again maybe he wont be able to until he goes ahead and proves to himself he can do this. his next fight is against ward, atleast taylor wont be knocked out and ward is gon have the WBA strap around his waist by then.

              hard to say what he should do. dont want to see him be another meldrick.
