    From 2005 to 2009 who had a tougher run than Jermain Taylor?

    All[except for Lacy]were top 10 in their division when Taylor fought them, no rest.

    1. Bernard Hopkins
    2. Bernard Hopkins
    3. Winky Wright
    4. Kassim Ouma
    5. Cory Spinks
    6. Kelly Pavlik
    7. Kelly Pavlik
    8. Jeff Lacy
    9. Carl Froch
    10. Arthur Abraham

    The records of the fighters and how dangerous they were at the time is what makes the list more impressive although he lost some of those. Pavlik, Froch and Abraham were all undefeated powerful top fighters, very dangerous fights. Winky Wright hadn't lost since 1999 coming in. Bernard Hopkins hadn't lost in 12 years, which was to a top 30 ATG Roy Jones Jr in 1993. Ouma was a top 10 MW. And Lacy who was the worst one had only one, very embarrassing loss to a HOF'er in Joe Calzaghe. But i'm not hyping up Lacy as a great opponent though.

    What a warrior Jermain Taylor is. I hope he continues on his bounce back trail and becomes a top 10 fighter once again. When he's hot, as you can see he would fight the best and most dangerous fighters.

    Win or lose, this guy will always be my second favorite fighter after Roy Jones.

      I remain steadfast in my belief that if JT would've stayed focused and @ 160 he would've gone down atleast as one of the best in his era. He had all the tools and began regressing

        Off all time or just in that time frame?

        Because, I like Froch run more so than that run from Taylor.

          Is this why you go around stalking me and flaming my threads, Kev? Because you make great topics like "Taylor had it really tough, fighting the likes of Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks."



          Great thread, man.

              JT always had one major failing that never went away, and what I said would be his undoing even when he was defending champion against top competition like Kassim Ouma and Corey Spinks (giggle).

              A leaky gas tank.

              I had some Fat Yanks on here accuse me of being a "Bias Brit" for that. But you gas out against Wanky Wrong and all you're gonna get is a black eye, no matter how good Wanky is technically. Gas out against anyone who can crack, and...

                Great thread, man.
                Oh look it's the annoying grammar, punctuation, English teacher. Pointing out mistakes in a boxing forum. Hey do you put that in job resumes? "Grammar, spelling, and English cop for Boxingscene - 2004-2012".

                Get out of here man, go make a thread about me in the thunderdome, i'll go take a look at it in a million years. That's all your 40 year old ass does anyway. Go on.

                  First thing it says on the title is from 2005-2009.

                  And I don't think that any one in Froch's 8-run resume is better than Hopkins Winky.

                    See, that would make sense... if it wasn't you that's been constantly following me around, flaming me in my threads.

                    Get some logic in your idiocy, son.

                    I can't make a Dome thread about you, man. Not only do I not have a ****ing clue who you are, you're just not that interesting.
