Comments Thread For: Jermain Taylor Withdraws From Super Six Tournament!

[El_Cholo]

he has done the right thing.

with the prospect of facing Froch again he can ill afford to take another concussion.

How many times to people have to hear that neither Bute nor Pavlik are taking Taylor's place? It's not even a possibility.

Bika and Green are supposedly fighting in February to determine who will get Taylor's spot.

Interesting. Green is the more polished of the 2. He should win.

Great news! I'm glad Jermaine is taking some much needed time off from the sport. Also, I'm glad that he withdrew early on in the tournament so that the new entrant has a good chance to move on to the semi-finals...

I actually wanted him to fight Ward. Bring on Ward vs Bute.

[Tiozzo]

what about Robert Stieglitz da WBO champion
whats about Dimitri Sartison da WBA champion

or Miranda

Because we got to have another american to keep the balance (3 americans, 3 euros).

won't happen.

Bute is a HBO contracted fighter I believe.

Agreed. Enjoy your fam JT

They are going to put Bika in there because he is not contracted with HBO like Bute and he will be no threat. He probably will lose by ko in his two fights assuring he wont make it to the next round

Come on... Bika is not good, but he is tougher than that.

A shame but understandable. A shame because it was my belief that he had a good shot at upsetting Andre Ward and understandable because of the devastating defeats he has suffered.

I hope he takes a year long break and then give boxing a final shot.
