Has Jermain Taylor flown over the Cuckoo's nest?

In a very short video posted to Facebook, Jermain Taylor is shown playing drums, singing country music, and shooting off a gun– despite his recent arrest for shooting a cousin. He’s also shown saying, “I’ll never lose to another white boy,” in reference to this coming Wednesday’s bout against defending IBF middleweight champ, Sam Soliman. At the closing of the video, Taylor tells the camera: “Fuck You, God Bless You"


Oh, what do you make of this?

Trying to set up his next fight.... even if he loses, he certainly can set up a high paying follow up fight.

What happened to him with Froch and Abraham was just tragic. He didn't need to lose those. Pavlik just beat his ass. lolol.... and that was understandable.

Nothing says repeat offender like coming off a shooting charge and then popping off random rounds from stacked clips. Taylor has always struck me as a bit rowdy South, off, but he's also accumulated a lot of damage.

Didn't Hopkins say he'd never lose to a white guy once? Kind of makes me hope Kovalev knocks him just short of unconscious so he still has to do a post fight interview. Its unlikely but I can still hope.

As for Taylor, its just attention getting. I don't believe he's all there and I felt sorry for him at one time where it seemed like he could out box his opponents just long enough to set himself up for a knockout. That kind of ended when he shouldn't have been in the ring but it seemed like his wife liked the money too much to let him stop. Maybe he's trying to live up to his ring name "bad intentions" which I was never really able to make the connection on to begin with.

His decline has been sad for me to watch because I was a big fan of his, I thought he was a fantastic fighter with a great jab, but he really went to shit after the Pavlik fights.

It's funny, I never realized all his loses were to white guys before he mentioned this haha.

He is definitely not the same guy he was before Pavlik and Pavlik is not the same guy he was before Hopkins. Destroyed confidence or what goes around comes around?

If I'm being honest, it's a very selective video.

I could take snippets of anyone and make them appear nuts by doing that.

I think he was trying to be a bit self-deprecating...by saying he'll never lose to "another" white boy. I could be wrong, but I think Jermain was trying to take a shot at himself.

His attempt at humor failed miserably
