By Chris Williams: At 31, it would appear that former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KO’s) has seen better days in his boxing career.

By Richard Gough: Any other boxer with a record of four defeats (3 knockouts) and one win (points) from his last five fights would be urged to retire as a spent force.

By Glen Anglin: With a single, last minute, right hand thunderbolt through the guard and to the chin of Jermain Taylor, Arthur Abraham stamped himself too many as the odds on favorite to win the Super Six tourney. However, I am not convinced.

By Jason Kim: Last Saturday night’s 12th round knockout of Jermain Taylor didn’t surprise me in the least. I saw it coming as soon as they announced he was facing Arthur Abraham in the Super Six tournament on October 17th. I think it was a bad idea for Showtime to invite the 31-year-old Taylor to [...]

By Jason Kim: Taking away the 12th round knockout from the equation in the Jermain Taylor vs. Arthur Abraham fight, who would have won the fight if it had gone to a decision? I know who I had winning the fight and it wasn’t Abraham. At the time of the stoppage, I had Taylor ahead [...]

By Jason Kim: Never mind Jermain Taylor dropping out of the Super Six tournament. That’s not what’s really important. Should he retire from boxing to save himself from suffering any more knockouts?

By Jason Kim: After losing by a 12th round knockout to former International Boxing Federation middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) on Saturday night with only six seconds to go in the bout, there are questions whether Jermain Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KO’s) will continue forward in the Super Six tournament.

By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like Jermain Taylor fell apart against Arthur Abraham tonight, wasting a golden opportunity to pick up an easy win against the limited Abraham. I don’t care if Abraham won.
