Comments Thread For: Jermain Taylor Pleads Guilty, To Be Sentenced in April

I'm still tripping on how his lawyers got attempted murder down to a battery charge. Further proof that money talks.

Agree. I din't even read the article at first, but when I did I surprised they got things down as far as they have. Money buys justice in the US.

It wouldn't surprise me if he has brain damage. His erratic behavior seems to be common among athletes who have suffered head trauma (i.e. football players.)

Hopefully the people around him are aware of this and try to get him professional help.

Idk man I think we all kinda gradually learn how to act & some of those options you think about are violent early on & they go further & further back in your head but they are still in there just faded & for some people, like the anger issue people you mention, less faded.

I mean how many times has someone bumped into you or stepped on the back of your foot or just some dumb **** like that & your response is maybe a polite "excuse me" or a not so polite "wtf" but somewhere in your brain a part of you wants to hit that cat upside the head. You don't act on it, its not the 2nd best option or a even top twenty options, but its in there. I think thats not unusual & its just cuz at our base we are animals & when someone invades are space there are some hostile thoughts even if there are no hostile actions like we mighta taken in different times.

No offense my friend you are a little nuts. lol. Look if someone bumped into me in an aggressive intentional way maybe I'll have a thought of WTF and have an urge of stepping to them, but it's never a thought of I want to pull a gun on this fool. If it's an accidental bump or something my first reaction isn't a WTF, it's a no problem.

Thats all I'm saying basically.

I personally don't there is a year thats past that at some point someone said or did something f#cking ****** or offensive to me that didn't make me, somewhere in the back of my mind, wanna slap that mfer upside the head. I didn't do it mind you (well at least not in the last decade & a half), but it was a thought in my head somewhere distant for sure.

The gun thing is an added level to it, I don't f#ck with guns at all tbqh, but I imagine if you did, that the gun **** probably isn't that much of a jump from slapping a mfer upside the head. And when a cat gots the brain trauma Taylor has those back of your head thoughts seem to end up more in front of their heads.

I suspect that Taylor has frontal lobe syndrome as a result of all the head trauma he has received. Your personality doesn't just change the way it has the last few years with him, I knew people that knew him years ago when he was an amateur and they said he was a sweet kid. I think damage to his frontal lobes has led to executive *********** in his brain.

bingo, he literally has every single symptom of that disorder. He also was never in any kind of legal problems before and his personality did a 180.

I don't see none of that all I see is a guy that went ****** in the ******. it was in his DNA. not all are like him but it is plain he is that type

except none of this happened until the last few years.

[PunchyPotorff]

Obviously he has some serious issues. I'll just hope and pray the best for him. At some point soon though, he needs to have a mentor to be around most or all the time to steer him in the right direction. Go back and watch his own fights from several years back.

I hear you man.. I wouldn't be surprised if theres something wrong with his brain after taking so many hard shots.

I thought that was pretty blatantly obvious.

He didn't "go ******", you Nietzschian muthafucca, he got serious brain damage and developed into a full blown psycho. What he does now isn't normal behaviour in any society, I don't care how messed up it is.

This punk should have been in jail last year w/the key thrown away...
