Is Jermaine Taylor the worst middleweight champion ever!!?

[The Troll]

Or least in since say the 50's.

Before him just off hand you had

Bernard Hopkins
James Toney
Michael Nunn
Thomas Hearns
Marvin Hagler
Vito Antifermo
Carlos Monzon

**** Tiger

Gene Fullmer
Ray Robinson
Jake Lamotta

And there were plenty of other great middleweights out there who might not have been considered as champion, especially in the 80's, 50's, 60's, even the early 90's.

I guess he has a decent record

but he fights good fights? When was that, back against Daniel Eduard? Who I think just lost by knockout by the way of one the top tier guys he beat to earn that tile shot.

Seriously, since the 50's what middleweight champion, real middleweight champion, is he better than? Is there one?

I think it was more a case of what Hopkins didn't do than what Taylor did.

And the era's those guys I listed were champions in were much deeper than the middleweight division now.

Lamotta had to fight Robinson 5 times before getting a title shot.
