Yeah, the guys Taylor fought were very awkward. The guys Taylor defended his title against had styles that were very difficult to look good against, especially compared to Pavlik's defenses who were guys with styles that make fighters look good. Taylor would have sparked all the guys Pavlik beat, but I can't say the same for Pavlik against Taylor's opponents.He definetly struggled in his hard fights, but look at the guys he fought. I mean, Hopkins back to back, Winky Wright straight after and then Spinks soon after that. All very aukward guys, You can say he lost some of these fights but at least he had the balls to take these hard fights. Which is more than you can say for Pavlik who fought guys like Lockett, Rubio and Espino during his MW reign.
He should have beat Pavlik in the first fight, Had him rocked badly in the 2nd round and got anxious trying to finish and got knocked out. I think that fight changed him forever, His confidence wasnt there after the KO loss.Comment

He should have beaten Froch. He handed that fight to Froch on a plate. Here, I'm gassed, it's round 9, take over, I can't fight anymore. Single most disgusting moment in the years I've watched boxing. I never wanted to watch another fight.Comment

Thats interesting, he never won a fight?? AT ALL???In all honesty, i feel that Jermain Taylor really lost to:
1)Hopkins I
2)Hopkins II
3)Winky Wright
4)Kassim Ouma
5)Froch
6)Abraham
7)Spinks
8)Pavlik
I feel that HBO was trying to build Taylor to be something great, but he couldnt hold up to the creation. I do think he beat Lacy but everyone else was ROBBED!
Except the people that actually beat him...
I could swear that Pavlik KHTFOComment

He beat Hopkins in the first fight. How he got the decision in the second fight I have no idea. I'm not going to call it a robbery since other people have scored it for Taylor, but if there was a fight where "It should have gone to the other guy, but it's not a robbery" it's definitely the second fight.
To say Taylor lost to Ouma and even Spinks is laughable. Spinks Taylor is the worst fight I've ever seen though.
I thought he lost to Wright too.Comment
I seriously read that about 10 times..
