Damn, Jermain Taylor's stock just keeps going lower and lower. Lol.

[Iceta Lives]

He gets knocked out by the worst fighter in the tournament right now and then fades into oblivion.

He was also beating who I guess you think is one of the best, Froch, until he himself let himself down.

[VatoMulatto]

He was only 14 seconds away from beating Carl Froch and also had him down and hurt early in the fight. Taylor was a good fighter.

I agree man, he also had one of toughest list of opponents on his resume, one after the other was a tough fight.

He never got over the loss to Pavlik though, he lost alot of confidence in that fight. Once you get KO'd hard, you're more likely to get KO'd like that again in future fights, unless you change up your style drastically (i.e. Amir Khan)

Taylor had serious stamina issues at SM, if he wasn't totally gassed in the Froch/AA fights, he would've finished them both standing.

Taylor was one of the nicest guys in boxing too, I will always respect him.

[infamous larryx]

hell he got ko'd by both froch and abraham

[Evil Abed]

Allan Green was the Worst fighter in this tourney.

Yeah he was 14 seconds away from putting away Pavlik too, and some refs woulda stopped it, but he didn't.


I am still to this day mad at Bernard Hopkins for not beating him when he could have if he'd thrown punches.

[Tiozzo]

he whooped Carl Froch for 10 rounds

he has nothing to be ashamed of

Kelly Pavlik took his soul. Jermain Taylor's soul was addicting, Pavlik became an alcoholic. He did want anyone else's soul to drink on, he was satisfied with Taylor's.
