      classic example of someone who becomes champ and loses hunger.....you could blame his trainers but its obvious its internal.....he gets too nervous in fights the trainers not in the ring with you....he never had good fundamentals either....not to hate on him he was competitive anytime he fought...

            Pavlik ruined him..

            What people forget though.. Jermaine was beating Froch, until the final ten seconds.

              he never had any fundamentals. he was boxing just based on his athleticism. same thing is gonna happen to berto.

                Pavlik ruined him. That 1st KO loss was devastating. That's why I always wonder why pavlik doesn't get alot of credit for stopping a prime JT.

                  The same person that ruined Jermain will also be ruining Sergio Martinez tonight.

                    Out of the ring he used to balloon to 200lbs and party hard too.

                    Also, he was overrated, he was good not great.

                    Switched trainer when he shouldn't.

                    Had no killer instinct as a fighter.
