jermain taylor may be getting "bought" out of the super six?

this is great..taylor is done....

I'd like to see him drop out a take 1-2 easier fights and then possibly look to some tougher challenges. That are retire but I'm sure Taylor doesn't want to go out like that.

I don't think Taylor would have any trouble against Allen Green if they were to fight in March. So I fail to understand the rationale behind replacing Taylor with an inferior fighter for any reason other than a lack of desire from Taylor to continue.

I have little doubt that Taylor would like to continue.

The rationale behind replacing him with an inferior fighter (I agree about Taylor not having a problem with Green) is Taylor's image is severely tarnished at the moment. Green's image, OTOH, is largely non-existant... which, to Showtime at least, may be a better sell than a fighter who's been KO'd in 3 out of his last 5 fights. Especially if they can build Green's image with a victory over Bika in February.

they should replace him with paul williams

[Sweet Jesus]

Allan Green. Just so we can finally put him through his final exam. Plus it keeps the American/European ratio even.

The same Paul Williams who's not beaten a legit top MW and never fought at SMW? Great idea.

[Stab Judah]

i hope Bute replaces him.

come to think of it, when is the next Super 6 fight?

March 6th Abraham vs Dirrell



April 17th Taylor vs Ward
Froch vs Kessler

I say it is too late to have Taylor replaced his replacement would almost surely have to win both of his fights to advance. Even if he did to me it woudl ruin the tournament. The 6 fighters signed up agreed to the number of fights in the tme period contracted. I do not see what the problem is if Taylor wants to continue let him. i do not see Ward KO over Taylor but than again who knows maybe Taylor Ko's Ward cause he is over confident???....Lefty

[starjammer]

If Taylor is dropping out and he wants to continue fighting, let him fight someone like Rubio or Espino. The guy has had mental fights back to fack forever. When has Jermain ever had the luxury of an easy defence? Someone that all the internet forums could complain about and call a bum?
