Leave Jermain alone, he doesn't deserve any hate.

I want Jermain to prove his critics wrong and get a shot at Martinez next year.

Overrated, eh... maybe over-hyped is a better word choice. The man defeated Bernard Hopkins (twice) and fought to an entertaining draw vs. a very polished Winky Wright (although Winky probably should have got the nod in that fight). He also was on his way to a decision vs. Froch until he got KO'd in the final 10 seconds of Round 12.

I don't think he should box again though. Those knockouts he received were all so brutal.
