    Is Jermain Taylor Finished Now??

    I Mean since he fighted Bernard Hopkins he Drew to Winky Wright....He Lost on TKO to Both Froch and Pavlik and now Arthur Abraham.....hes pulled out of Super Six....Does this Mean Hes Done Know? or will he make a comeback?? i personally think it was a mistake for him to change Trainers after the hopkins fight...hes messed up now and is only a 2-2 for the Bookies...who is he gonna fight now??

    well he still hasnt lost to any bums or anything. When that happeneds then I will say he's finished but he definietly doesnt look good. Call me crazy but I still think he shouldve fought Ward. I think he matches up with him well and I dont think Ward has the style to put alot of pure punishment on him. With that being said, you cant keep getting KO and then taking hard fights right after that so it was probably a smart move

              imo he needs to take a year or two out. i think after that he can think about making a comeback.

              when/if he does make a comeback he needs to forget all his accomplishments that he made beforehand, he needs to take the mindset that he is starting all over again. including a few matches with guys in the top 15-5 fighters in his weight class.

              it will be hard for him to resist the mega paydays that will be thrown his way but he needs those match ups against top 15/20 fighters for the benefit of his career. once hes had them we'll know where he is mentally and how much he has left.

                  How is that? He beat him twice. Looked like the same fighter when he fought Wright. If anything it was Pavlik who mentally drained him.

                    needs to work on his footwork more and his balance....and not throwing "the bow and arrow" right hand and his defense.........love jermain....when u think about it given his flaws he got an awful lot out of himself.....natural athletic ability and a very big middle and SMW.


                    Another problem was ballooning in weight btw fights....he corrected that in the camp for AA....but he should really stay at 175-180 btw fights.....he was getting above 200............all this stuff is a must...

                    Honestly i think JT would benefit from having a trainer like Floyd Sr. Work on that defense and technique a little more.
