Okay so we have all been watching the Showtime Super 6 Tournament right? The question I posed to myself even when the tourney first got off the ground was why Jermain Taylor instead of the 3 mentioned in the subject field? Now they are posing the question about Jermain's health after his recent knock out loss to King Arthur. JT although he is one of my favorites has not done anything in my eyes in the past few years to warrant a chance at the elite in the SMW division.
He suffered a KO loss to Pavlik and relinquished his titles. He lost a rematch by decision to Pavlik. He won a fight over Lacy whom just got his arse handed to him by a way past it Roy Jones. Then he losses a 12th round KO to Froch (whom has no skills) and he was beating the whole fght. Followed up by this birth in the tourney where he got beat up and KTFO by AA. Turn of the tables Ward defeats Kessler and now JT is lined up with a title fight after 2 devastating KO losses. Well if he decides to fight on. My question to the Showtime people and the promoters involved what if JT decides he does not or cannot continue? Then do one of the three mentioned in the subject field get a shot? I mean Bute and Andrade are fighting each other on HBO's network. If either win who will HBO feed them considering the Super 6 are locked up for the next 2-3 years?
I would assume the likely choice for replacement will be Green. Green is already fighting on the Showbox series and would be easier to slide inot a date since his last fight was on 10/2 over Tavaris Simms. An UD in which Green was able to get the W moving his record to 29-1. The one loss coming to the hands of Pantera Edison Miranda. There are talks of Pavlik moving up in weight sometime in 2010. maybe he gets feed to Bute or Andrade to keep the SMW Division alive on the HBO network. Either way my question still stand why put JT in this tourney after his most recent performances and over look the obvious names? What do they do if JT decides he cannot continue?....Lefty
