Do you know how many all-time great fighters have more than 2 losses on their records? RAY F****** ROBINSON had more than 2 losses....ALI had more than 2 losses!!!


Anyone who thinks Jermain Taylor is finished with boxing EVEN IF HE DID LOSE TO PAVLIK is a F****** moron....I'm sorry to put it that bluntly but I'm sick of hearing this S***....I'm not trying to say JT is the greatest of all-time but he deserves some respect!

Jermain Taylor killed himself making 160 (as has Pavlik) but I think with his size he can move all the way up to 175 if need be. Can't people just accept the fact that it was a good fight and give both fighters respect no matter who they are a fan of? And hell you have to give it to Jermain he's not backing down he is getting a rematch and props to Pavlik to giving it to him.
I think what they mean is if he's owned again by Pavlik, his stock with the elite might not be recoverable. If he loses in a close fight that goes late on, and shows some improvement at the new weight, he'll still have a future with the elite. If he wins of course he'll rocket higher up than when he was before the first fight.

Haven't seen the first couple of pages so it may have been answered, but they're fighting for no titles so Jermain can command the same purse as Pavlik rather than a challengers purse, also they're at a higher weight than the titles Pavclik owns..
