Remember in 2007 when everyone loved Pavlik

And hated Jermain Taylor? Sure, Taylor's run at middleweight left a little to be desired, but he did dethrone p4p number 1 Bernard Hopkins and beat him in a rematch. Call them draws if you want, but don't make me laugh by saying Hopkins won either fight. Then he gets another draw with Wright, the number 2 p4p guy in the world. Again, don't call it a Wright win. But yeah, then he wasted our time fighting Ouma and Spinks. He signs to fight Pavlik, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Taylor victory. Pavlik was raw and badly lacked fundamentals. Sure enough, Taylor had him ready to go within minutes. But he failed to finish the deal and lost his title. It was a great fight for sure, but one Taylor gave away more than lost. Everyone on here was so excited about Pavlik and talked about how great of a champ he would be, a surefire improvement over Taylor. Now here we are in 2011, and he's arguably the worst official middleweight champion of all time. The few times he actually did fight, his opponents were jokes (other than the ones who outclassed him). His win-loss record is downright atrocious, Taylor being the only great fighter he ever beat. And I thought Taylor earned at least a draw in the rematch. I just like looking back and all that and laughing. Cheers, Kelly! You were a great champion in this sport.
