    You people are overreacting. If Jermain thinks he can fight on, let him.

    He didn't take a beating in the Froch or Abraham fights. Just last minute big punches.

    He'll be fine. Quit worrying like women.

      Taylor just sucks when it gets toward the end of fights. And he takes punishment even in the phases of fights that he wins.

        Jermain is just another log on the fire to keep you warm, Jacky?

          I believe a fighter deserves a second and third chance to prove he's still got what it takes. But if he insists on losing in spectacular fashion, then I don't think I can defend him anymore.

          But hey, strange things happen all the time in this sport. And if he does beat Ward, he'll be back in contention.

          It might be a long shot, but he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

          He likely feels strongly that he's too young to close the curtains yet.

            Bernardo?

            Anyway, no. I don't even like watching him fight personally, but I don't believe in telling guys when they should stop doing what they do for a living.

            If he wants to continue, its his right.

              Love watching him fight lol He's my fave fighter. Hey Jack I edited Taylor on FN4 so he looks like he did in Abraham bout Shame people you play against on live can't see. Think it just shows the default clothing. Fail...

              Next time we play u better have made a good Abraham so we can play out that fight.

                Our tourney is officially dead. Don't know if you saw Riz thread last night in the lounge.

                He sold his 360 and got a ps3.

                  Not sure that it's his right. Being a pro boxer is as much a privilege as a right. Why else would they issue licenses? At a certain point, you have to protect guys from themselves.

                  The combination of ego, pride, ambition and greed is a dangerous thing.

                      Everyone has the right to earn a living. Thats his chosen profession. He's prepared to deal with the consequences, why aren't you?

                      Licensing is a joke anyway. Thats the method the state uses to control you and turn rights into privileges.

                      Its a soft form of tyranny.
