Would the Jermain Taylor that beat Hopkins have lost last night?

[levi#1BoxingFan]

No way the Taylor of old would have lost to Abraham! Taylor lost everything when he got rid of Pat Burns his old trainer. Burns pushed him and kept him disciplined. Nelson just treats him like any mother would in the ring and that is exactly what I fighter doesnt need. It was not a couple of flukes when he beat hop, hejust had a good trainer that got in his butt and pushed him, nowa days Taylor has horrible stanima, and absolutly ZERO heart! I honestly hope he doesnt show his face in boxing after this is over. It all comes down to one bone head descsion he made to get rid of the coach that helped him dethrone the man who held them for years. I still cant figure what was going through his mind when he did that, immaturity I suppose!

Maybe but more likely Lou Dibella. Promoters always interfere where they shouldn't!

Prime Taylor would still lose to Abraham. Abraham was well ahead on my card. I doubted him but was wrong , really , im saying Abraham beats Kessler if they face off

Prime Taylor would've had his chin and bad intentions still so there would be a different story. But I don't want to equate that into a Taylor win. I would favor it that way but somebody would get KO'd. As for present tense. I think it would be tragic if Taylor is not excused from the Super Six tournament. His career is over, he is a shell of a fighter, his chin is gone completely, and he needs to be taken away from the sport entirely. He refuses to fight lesser fighters and that is why he has never fully recovered from his first KO loss. Now we have Taylor in danger of being ruined as a normal functioning human being. I hope his promoter and team have a heart and don't allow him to continue his career. This has now gotten sad.

I can't call him a shell of a fighter since the only times he has been knocked out are by near prime elite super power punchers. When he starts getting ko'd by lesser fighters, then it's time to mull retirement. he has to stop fighting the elite power punchers. Find some guys to fight who are still eltite, but with less power.

Froch is an elite power puncher? ok, lol! I suppose he put air on the canvas last night, but im not so sure about when it comes to hitting others!

Sure, provided he trained right and had the same corner that got him the title, otherwise it's like the night he underestimated Pavlik.

I can see every other boxer in this tournament swinging at air too, when they face dirrell. It's not just froch he is going to make look bad.
