Jermain has great talent, but it seems like his focus deminishes late in fights. The main reason for this is his training. He talks about how hard he trains yet you never see it. But you always see and hear about him hanging out with his buddies. If you look at all of the great fighters (Mayweather, Mosely, Tyson, Calzage, etc.), when they train you only see them and their trainers. There are no distractions. When they are in the ring, that's all that they will have. No friends or family. Its just you against the other man. It is in his best interest to take a hiatus and fully think out his career path. He should not risk anymore serious damage. Excellent article and comments by everyone. Jermain has great talent, but it seems like his focus deminishes late in fights.

Montoya Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:41:13 +0000 http://www.boxingnews24.com/?p=14595#comment-56765 My hats off to Jermain Taylor. He's a true gentleman with a lot of heart and endless will. I would hate to see him keep getting knocked out like he has been in these previous fights. He did look a lot better in this last fight when it comes to stamina, but Abraham was just too strong for him in the end. I don't see him fairing well with the other fighters with the exception of Dirrell. I really think he'll keep boxing and finish off this tournament, but wouldn't be surprised if he retires afterwards. By the way, great article! My hats off to Jermain Taylor.

Jermain is a true gent and I feel for him taking such a bad KO on the weekend. Something seems to happen with Jermain in the final rounds of a fight. He didn't look tired again Abraham, he just seemed to take a risk or lose concentration. He has the skills, speed & accuracy but the chin seems to have gone. I hope whatever he does in the tournament and future he does not take such a heavy knockout.

I really like Taylor, and I have always defended that he is not a shot fighter. It was not until this fight with Abraham that I believe that he now may be. Very good fighter, but it may be time to give it up. Very good article. I really like Taylor, and I have always defended that he is not a shot fighter.

Look at Cotto, he fought Michael Jennings (Who??) after Margarito Ko to get his confidence back with very little danger of being hurt. I am really impressed with Taylor's heart but he does not need another potential 2 losses on his record at this stage of his career. He should take at least 2 easyish fights...

I believe he should respectfully bow out of the tournament and let a sub step in for him. Take some time off Poor Taylor, i sincerly feel bad for him.

I still think Taylor has the ability and skills but since the pavlik fight his mental game has been affected and 2 more brutal knockouts has obviously messed up his head. You need to be mentally prepared aswell as physically and if doubt is creeping in and he is questioning himself he could be recieving the wooden spoon by the end of this with 3 defeats.
