Much like Pavlik, JT being "done as an elite fighter" is 100% his own doing. JT should have never allowed himself to be hit so often. JT is a middleweight Riddick Bowe, he has height, reach, and a great jab, but he ALWAYS gave it up whether because he was lazy or because he was just dying to be a brawler he fought in a tactically idiotic manner.

I remember JT at his best vs Raul Marquez....JT would attack and circle before Marquez even thought of returning fire. JT boxed beautifully in that fight. Shortly there after he began loading up on the right cross trying to be a KO puncher....he just abandonned his technical ability which had he used vs Kelly he may have stopped him, he probably could have stopped Hopkins had he been smarter too. JT was extremely good for 1 second and then everything fell apart for him.
