Jermain Taylor had Bad Intentions in this fight.





He should have never switched trainers.

Duran vs Barkley. One i've rewatched often down the years :

Very impressive considering Duran started out as a Bantamweight.

Classic. All 7 rounds of that fight were explosive.

Pavlik screwed his career up when he decided to jump up to Light Heavy and fight Hopkins, smh.

[New England]

pavlik - taylor was a classic.


i still think pavlik - miranda, which was an eliminator for a shot at the lineal title that JT held, was the better fight. scary, scary damage taken by both guys. holy f#ck did miranda get beat up at the end of that fight. smoger needs to learn to pull the trigger on a stoppage quicker than that.
