Have you seen Jermain Taylor?

What I want to know is what happened to Travis Simms, he looked like he had all the skills to dominate at 154 he then looked horrible against Alcine inactive and unmotivated and just stopped fighting.

Jermain will be fine, the guy was elevated and toted bt HBO then scrutinized to Holy Hell... Meanwhile he was humble and never bought into his own Hype. He was at the top and fell 1/2 way. Still plenty of opportunity for him at SW or LightHeavy... He has speed, power and a chin. JT just needed to get his head screwed on a little bit better in which he looked pretty good in the 2nd Pavlik fight, he came up a few rounds short in a fight that was hard to judge anyway. He just started to fade down the stretch.

He has plenty to compete with Kessler, Miranda, Abraham, Tarver, Johnson, Lacy, Andrade, Bute etc. I would favor him over Dawson as well.

Good for him to kick back and relax. He has millions and a very young family, not to mention he is a good old fashion Arkansas boy who rather stay out of the limelight anyway

I do not think Taylor is any where near finished...just staying under the radar after long run at the high profile top.The man is arguably..IMo coming off one of his best fights.I know,I know he lost to Pavlik but coming back from that prior destruction,showing adjustments and being on the end of a very narrow descision...I had Pavlik by one point thanks to strong 11th.I think move up in weight will extend longevity.
