Arthur Abraham Carl Froch Jeff Lacy Kelly Pavlik x2 Cory Spinks Kassim Ouma Winky Wright Bernard Hopkins x2 :shock::shock: Tell me that's not impressive?
No, Abraham by knockout!!! Yeah it is very impressive, imagine if he had won all of those fights - he would be talked up as a potential ATG :yep
Carl Froch - got KO'd Jeff Lacy - totally shot Kelly Pavlik x2 - lost both fights Cory Spinks - Welterweight Kassim Ouma - Light Middleweight Winky Wright - dodgy draw against an old man Bernard Hopkins x2 - sneaked 2 iffy decisions.
Always one **** in the room... He beat Hopkins twice, went to war with Winky Wright....who at the time was immense. The Kelly Pavlik fights actually gave meaning to the middle weight division again..!!!!! Jermaine Taylor is a bad ass...
Taylor is a warrior and fight anyone, its not his fault that he was the new golden goose of HBO who shoved him down our throats and used him to oust Hopkins...but the man carried the middle crown one of the most prestigous in the sport really well and fought tough competiiton especially when compared with someone like Pavlik who's been holding the title hostage in comparison, (lockett? rubio? GTFO here) to fight Hopkins twice is bad enough especially when you consider the physical and pyschological impact that has one you, just look at the fighters who were never the same after fighting Hopkins, but then he fights guys like Cory and Kassim who granted are small dudes but very skilled and difficult to look good against and he was expected to blow them away. Taylor may have issues with his stamina and boxing IQ, and not be as good as first advertised, but the guy has the heart and mentality of a true champ
Aw, **** off. You're responsible for more than your fair share of dumb posts around here. So far I've resisted the temptation to call you a tit or a ****.
