Comments Thread For: Woman: Jermain Taylor Threatened To Kill My Kids!

The reason he can be fit is, the disease caused from head trauma that all these boxers and NFL players get, the disease that makes you violent, agressive, depressed, and all around insane, is CTE, and it can only be diagnosed once they do an autopsy of the brain of a dead person.

This downward spiral is classic of how these guys unravel.

They have techniques to detect CTE in living brain tissue, but it'll be years before it's approved by FDA (sooner in Europe).

Cleveland Clinic is putting together some less definitive series of tests that'll incorporate behavior as well as the typical (and essentially useless) brain scans.

Guy needs to be put in that white box, sounds extreme but it's for his own safety.

Interesting. I bet there are plenty of fighters with early onset of CTE right now. I hope not, but the beating some of these guys take can add up. Of course, there also fighters who appear to remain clear headed and happy, despite getting badly beaten.

Detecting CTE in brain before death could be a huge deal. Could also potentially make many many boxers and NFL players ineligible to play. The thing with football and NFL is, it's always in practice where these guys hit each other the hardest. You brain can be developing CTE before a pro even gets on the field.

I hope Taylor gets the help he needs, but I think people are just going to want to throw him to the sharks. If it is indeed CTE, which if its not drugs, it has to be, this is not his fault at all.

Kids around at a MLK get together and Jermain is firing shots over a title belt. Dude has some serious problems.

Jermain Taylor vs. James Kirkland, will it ever happen? In or out of prison?

So sad. Big Taylor fan here. Sounds like he has major issues. Probably substance abuse. He's in need of help in a big way.

He'll probably be locked up for years now though.
