He's lost four of five, three by stoppage... only win over a even more ruined lacy...Just wondering does any think that the tournament will be the last of him?

I hope he retires right now rather than going through with the tournament. He is a shadow of himself at this point after tonight. Jermain please get out while you still have your health.
I hope so. When Taylor gets stopped he really gets stopped. The Abraham KO wasnt as brutal as the pavlik or the froch ones, but the way he was lying on the ground after it was scary.
Taylor has made a lot of money in the sport and I think after the super-six he has few reasons to continue fighting.
Yes, after the tournament he's done, well he's done now, but he'll finish this.
Why do you think Lou DiBella was trying to get the most money for his first fight in the Fight 360 show.
He's scheduled to fight Ward next, right? It's another big payday for him and Ward isn't a big hitter so he probably will fight him. If Ward stops him he'd probably have to retire but if Kessler's promoter offers him a ton of money for a big fight in Europe who's to say? I think at least one more fight though.
This just in from Dan Rafael.

Hey guys, I'm back. That was Lou DiBella on the phone from Germany.
Lou said Jermain had a severe concussion and is in the hospital for precautionary reasons. He has had short term memory loss. Lou said he'll stay in the hospital for several days as a precaution. No decision has been made about his future in the tournament.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I would like to see him retire. His career has been very similar to that of Meldrick Taylor or Wilfred Benitez in that he has fought the best early on in his career in tough fights that damage has been inflicted over the course of many rounds. He has taken a lot of hard blows and the effects are starting to show. I would hate to see him end up like so many past champions cause he stayed around too long. Jermaine has been a good fighter and a GREAT Champion. All class and he has fought the best and given boxing his all. You can see it now in his eyes and body language that he is a guy who should not be fighting anymore.

Yup he will be remembered for his 2 close wins over Hopkins and wins over Spinks, Ouma and Wright whom all 3 IMO were much smaller framed than him.

He's done all he can but he has run out of gas and desire. He was fit when he was in training and weight was no problem but physical shape and no desire facing a terror like Abraham after the ghost and Froch, as they say in grammar class punctuation was the name of the term best suited for his latest loss to Abraham. He's done a good job but he's finished.
