    Jermain Taylor

    Is he still concidered as a top fighter since his only 2 lost came from a guy that is still undefeated?

    Taylor is still a top fighter, he only lost to one guy and anyone can have that one opponent who is their kryptonite. Taylor's task is to prove it though, and to do so he will need to fight better opponents than Jeff Lacy.

      He's still a name fighter, but he won't be a top fighter again until he produces a decisive win against a good opponent imo. And frankly, I don't think Lacy counts anymore.

        Jermain Taylor has become largely irrelevant in boxing today. Before losing to Pavlik, he was putting boxing fans to sleep with his boring style....

          Always has been a good fighter but not great. He was a very overrated Middleweight Champ

            Agreed. Fully support your cause too, T-97 and the rest need to be unbanned ASAP. Except Abadger of course, that man is a ****.

              He forgot his best weapon against Winky, Ouma and Spinks and Pavlik I and parts of II. He just never used it after Hopkins, perhaps he was discouraged

              Until I see him utilise his jab again I can't see him doing great at the TOP level. I was excited when I saw him fight before Hopkins, he had one of the best Jab's of today but he stopped using it.

                Of course. He got the longest ban too, a whopping one year. Why? Ask BPP, for only he could tell you.

                  How long did all of you individuals actually get banned for? Clegg said 3 months, sounds harsh.

                    He got away from boxing and turned into a puncher and was tring to hard too knock out all off his oppnents.
