Has Taylore or his Camp made any reference to possibility of dropping out of Tourn.?

I keep seeing people talk about Taylor being replaced by this guy or that guy. But has Taylor or his camp made any reference to the possibility of his dropping out? And if not, why do people keep bringing it up? What sets the tournament apart is that fighters who lose are allowed to continue fighting. It's what makes this tournament special. And I thought it was one reason people liked the tournament as much as they seem to.

So what's with everyone's calling for Taylor to be replaced? He got KTFO. But it's not like he wasn't competitive in the fight. Did anyone see Abraham's face after the fight?

 

I hope Taylor continues. He might lose but he's not going to get steamrolled by anybody if he's healthy enough to continue. He might get KTFO again, but he'll stay very competitive until he does.

I like Allan Green but I don't think he's quite good enough for this tournament. He gets too easily distracted in the spotlight. Bute and Andrade are busy with each other. Pavlik is out of commission for who knows how long, Paul Williams is untested at this weight. Miranda is a sloth.

Taylor is just as good as anybody else who is available IMO.

If anybody would drop out I would hope it would be Dirrell, but to keep the spirit of the tournament I hope even he stays. I won't like watching his fights but they are a neccessary evil IMO. He could still play a John Ruiz spoiler type roll. It will be a chess match whoever he fights. A boring clumsy, sloppy chess match.........but a chess match nonetheless, watching other fighters try to figure out his style. If somebody can actually KHTFO, it will be a nice feather in their cap.

 

I hope Taylor continues, too.
I don't want him to win. I don't want him to get hurt, but I want him to make some big cash.
He shouldn't have been in the tournament in the first place, but since he managed to get into it, more power to him. Dropping out would be a huge mistake, imo.
And, while I don't think he will be the favorite against anyone, you can't beat Hopkins twice without having some real ability. That the 'worst' guy in the tournament has the two best wins really makes this tournament shine.

 

I don´t think as highly of Ward as other. I give Taylor a decent shot to beat Ward, especially if Ward takes a beating himself in three weeks.

 

I know. What if Abraham turns out to be the best guy in the tournament? Or even the second best?

Taylor's already lost to Froch but he demonstrated without dispute the "ability" to beat Froch. Does anyone really think that if Taylor had not been better conditioned that he would not have won that fight?

 

Taylor said it wasnt about the money, he just missed being champion, now that he's been knocked out consecutive times, I hope he starts thinking about his life, his wife, family and farm, and doesnt risk losing it all by taking more smashes to the skull, I want him to retire and be replaced by Sakio Bika, he's an underrated, hard, strong brute who made Calzaghe weep like a bitch.

 

Kauki, who are you more ashamed of?
Taylor, Zoo, Abdula, Margo?
They each disgraced themselves, while the one and only true champ keeps racking up victories over P4P champs.....

 

::::Calzaghe beat him by 10 rounds.

 

Why Dympeople, Abdullaev was only following the lead of proud american greats such as Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier. I never thought that I would be so thoroughly beaten by Fraud groupies in the end, you all deliberately kept the fact that Margarito loaded his gloves from me, and I spent the subsequent two years defending him.

PPV numbers dont lie, I call it the American dominion fetish which is healthy, it's like being degraded for pleasure, Floyd has introduced flagrant and aggressive decadence to boxing inside and out, like having dog shit stuffed in our mouths while simultaneously being thrashed with leather straps and penetrated in a dark room, he's made this sport a tantalising, sensational experience Dympeople, America knows where it's at, except for white people, Floyd could have the billions that he deserves for the icon that he is, but, they wont cough it up because they're racists, and I agree with him, white people are the majority in America, so why isnt he richer?,...motherfuckers are pathological racist haters, I know that some are conformed, but evidently, nowhere near enough to make Floyd the richest person in the world.

 

It hurts, my friend Kauki, it really does, doesn't it?
Why do you think Floyd proved himself as a much better man and a much better fighter than all of your favorites?

 

That's true, but Calzaghe didn't like being in the ring with him much, he's fought rough fighters before, like Hopkins who fouled him every minute of every round but he wasn't intimidated or lost concerntration in the manner he did with Bikky, I know it is shameless testicle suckling on my behalf, but I think Bikky's ruthless strength, heavy hands and durability shocked Calzaghe somewhat.

I exclude Margarito from this conversation Dympeople, it hurts, it is unnecessary, I've already been owned, but for the rest of these fighters I think legal conduct, aggression and lack of consideration given to opponent choice would be the answer Dympeople, they foolishly believed that what was most important to fans was to fight hard and entertain, they never realised that our emotional priorities is with the profile of undefeated records and the symbolism of nationality and skin colour to be elicited and generalised to make the pride feel empowered. Hopefully those fighters you've listed are a dieng breed Dympeople, now that Floyd is here to restructure boxing for the better.

 

Yes, indeed, you have been, and you will continue to be owned, unless you embrace The One......

Ah, yes, the choice of opposition....
Why do you think, Kauki, that Kostya Zoo has never fought, yet alone defeated, a fighter of Oscar's caliber? Or a a fighter of Coralles caliber? Or a fighter of Marquez caliber?
Why do yoiu think he was steamrolled by one Ricky Hatton?

And why do you think Floyd Mayweather has done all of those things, why Kostya has done......none of them....
What is the reason for Mayweather superiority?

 

There's something about Floyd's first fight with Castillo that hurts me to watch Dympeople, I dont know why, Floyd won via shutout like he always does, and I agree that Kostya should have looked down for credible opposition, you have a very strong contemporary point, I dont now why Tszyu stayed in a single division for his entire career, it's illegal, there is only one division as far as Im concerned, and it's the p4p division, if Tszyu wanted to earn his ranking you've got to face fellow p4p fighters its as simple as that, had he fought the best from super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight, and lightweight, he could've been a multiple-weight champion but he didn't, he wasted his time fighting other 140lbers.

 

It's VERY Necessary...Margarita was your CHAMPION...Your 1 TRUE HERO...So RIGHTFULLY, Brother DYM has Only BEGUN to Rattle your "Margarito Cage"...N Fact, REED ENCOURAGES It!!!...U REAP what U SOW, Kauki...



REED:hammert:

 

Au contrare, my friend, Kostya made his career NOT fighting other 140lbers.....

Remember featherweight Juan La Porte Kostya fought?
Remember featherweight Calvin Grove Kostya fought?
Remember super-featherweight Leija Kostya fought?
Remember lightweight Ben Tackie Kostya fought?
Remember lightweight Rafael Ruelas Kostya fought?
Remember lightweight Julio Caesar Chavez Kostya fought?
Remember lightweight Sharmba Mitchell Kostya fought?
Remember lightweight Gonzalez Kostya fought?

These are the biggest names on Kostya's resume, my friend Kauki....none of them are 140lbers.....
How do you explain it?

 

I agree Dympeople, those fighters had no business jumping up that far to face Kostya, that can only be done with the invitation of a 'catchweight' agreement for the p4p title, it would have helped Kostya to fight opposition at featherweight and below if they had 'proved themselves' by holding belts in lower divisions at the time.

 

Kauki, who do you think is a better opponent: Calvin Grove, or, say Juan Manuel Marquez?

 

Reed please,...You created the object of your resentment by not informing me that Margarito is unworthy of Floyd due to his illegal use of plaster fibres in his handwraps when you were supposed to, back in 2006.

 

Well Dympeople if Marquez was a boring mandatory in the jr welterweight division, and Calvin Grove was the illustrious featherweight champion, it would serve Kostya's resume and his quest for the p4p title to fight Calvin ofcourse.

 

Brilliant. ::
