    Is jermain taylor finished as a fighter

    Man, just going back a few years and this guy was at the top.... Now he,s m.i.a. ..... Is he done or is he waiting for a dramatic return??? Were those k.o.s he suffered in his last two fights the end of him???? Froch hurt him bad and abraham hit him with a single shot that seemed to have dam near killed him... What do you guy,s think??

    He sure should be. He must have made a decent fortune, no point taking any more head damage.

      He's coming back. And I can't wait, one of my favorite fighters.

          Taylor gets hated on way too much, he lost vs guys who had over 80 KO rates... and outside of a prime Jones, Taylor has given Hopkins the most hell out of any fighter he has faced....

            I hope he does well by the way, but he has nothing left to prove.

              I really like Taylor too but I don't want to see him become another Michael Watson, or Gerald McLellan. I think someone like Taylor has made enough money, he should retire and enjoy life with all his faculties intact.

                  It has to do with matchmaking if they keep him out of harms' way he can still earn but if they decide or he decides he wants the best well.....other than Serg at MW who would bring a nice payday, who else is there really...Golovkin,Pirog etc. aren't real possibilities.. it leaves Chavez which is sort of a interesting fight scenario.

                  Of course all depends on how he looks and reacts in his first bout back

                    I like Taylor, but I don't think he should come back.

                    He starts out strong, but then something has been happening lately where he gets KO'd (i.e Froch, Pavlik, and Abraham).

                    He had Froch and Pavlik hurt early, then I don't know what happened.
