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

[Hayehammer]

Respect JT! right decision for now!

[kingfaze19]

thank god for his family speaking some sense into him, im preety sure if it was all up to him, he wouldve continued.. he had a good run, but hes taking beatings left and right.. roy jones should take notes from this

[K-Nan]

Bute please. Allen Green would be an acceptable second.

I'm glad that Jermain withdrew. He really, really needs to recover.

I respect Taylor for having the balls to admit he can't do it anymore.

Although, I don't think he was ever that good. One very controversial over Hopkins doesn't make you a world class fighter.

I think Bika would be a good replacement. The guy comes to fight and will give any of these guys a tough fight. Obviously, everyone is gona want Bute!

nice decision..respectable

i would throw Lucian Bute now.he would be the best replacement for Jerman Taylor

[Kris Silver]

I like Taylor.

But he was unlikely to get KO'd again so there was no harm in just carrying on I don't think.

There's pretty big spaces of time between fights these days so I don't get the whole rest thing so much. You could make the case all he's likely to do is get rusty, older, slower, and lose any likelyhood of landing decent fights. No point.

good for jermaine,
and
good for the tournament.

any one of these four would work...

bute
andrade
green
bika

and, although, bute would be the best
he's kind of a prima dona who wants to
"fight the winner"

oh well,
either way... WE WIN !

the fans finally win one! wheeee

Thank god he decided to withdraw. He has been terrible ever since the 2nd Hopkins fight. I actually went to Memphis to watch him fight Corey Stinks and he stunk the place out. If it wasn't for Pavlik knocking our Miranda the trip would've been a waste. Jermain is a good guy but he sucks ass now.

You know, you should show the guy a little more respect. All he did was go out there and fight his heart out. He never ducked anyone and he gave the fans 100% effort. He can't help how Spinks fought. Rightly or wrongly, he was the undisputed middleweight champ. Who else would've fought Hopkins twice and follow it up with Winky Wright?? Yeah, I thought the same thing.

The better question is: what have you accomplished in your life other than talk crap on a message board??


To JT, love ya man. A huge fan and I respect your decision and wish you the best.

Come on man Jermain did not deserve it the only reason why he was picked as an opponent for AA was the fact that he was not the same fighter anymore. I feel sad for him

[krispy kreme]

Good move, Taylor has been through hell. He has been fighting the best for a while now, some fighters should take a lesson.
