At 160/Yes.
At 168/No.

SMW is loaded with great fighters who could easily beat Taylor.

Yeah you're probably right. It's hard to imagine him being better than the new crop of americans at 168 (Ward, Dirrell, Green), or the rest of the elite at 168.

Yeah I miss JT, such a shame he lost in such brutal fashion against Pavlik, Froch and AA they really took a tole on him.

he was way behind against abraham though

Yeah I though he was up on points. But after a hard fight with Froch and two hard fights with Pavlik. He maybe should have faced a light puncher or two. Two fights with Pavlik, Jeff Lacy,Froch, ko twice. He should not of fought Abraham and he paid the price in the 12th round.

before he fought AA i would have picked taylor to give ward and dirrell a very hard fight,just due to his style.but now,well i think he is finished,physically and more importantly mentally

I would like to see him fight again.....just keep him away from punchers!!.....maybe a fight with Calzaghe at 168 won't be as bad as before....NOW they BOTH have been on the shelf collectin' dust and rust.....so who knows?!?.....I doubt he can make 160 anymore.

I think he could come back all his losses were close fights. Just depends what state his brain is in. I don't know if I have seen a guy come back from three brutal knock outs all in 2 years.

I remembered people here actually argued that he should
be rated higher than Pacquiao P4P after his second win over Hopkins.

nah. he was a fairly average and dull fighter with the ring iq of a rock.
