    And he was dropped by a former middleweight which I guess would mean Taylor would be a super middle come fight night. But then again Taylor Froch was at 168 so would that mean that they would have been at 175 fight night? Doesn't matter anyway because Taylor dropped him.

    A former middleweight like Foster’s best win, but not in his late 30s like Foster’s best win.

    Are you comparing Jermaine Taylor to Dick Tiger?

    I think he’d drop a decision. But he’d also be the best guy Foster beat and probably the physically strongest too.

    So Jermaine Taylor dropped him but Foster wouldn't ko him? And do you have Froch beating (older) Dick Tiger as well? And you still didn't answer my earlier question: are you comparing Jermaine Taylor to Dick Tiger?

    Froch would get stopped on his feet around round 7 after taking a beating

    1. Yes
    2. I would favor Froch to beat a 38 year old Tiger. The only guy who Froch failed to beat was Ward who is better than anyone being discussed here.
    3. Taylor almost took out Pavlik and decisioned Hopkins twice. I am comparing him to a 38 year old Dick Tiger, who wasnt a huge puncher, if you want to call it that.

    1. If you say so lol.
    2. I wouldn't favor Froch over Richard, even the 38 year old one. Never great middleweight Taylor dropped him and hurt him and then was within
    a round of getting a decision against him at Carl's best weight. You know, the same Jermaine that drew with past it Winky. Carl is going to have to ko Tiger to beat him because he's not going to outbox him, even the 38 year old version. And he's not knocking out Richard whose chin was better than Carl's. If Bob were to land the left hook he hit Richard with on the same Carl Froch that was dropped by Jermaine, Carl's head would go flying off of his shoulders. And did you just claim Andre was better than Foster?
    3. Taylor almost took out Pavlik? Very true. But Kelly DID take Jermaine out in the very same fight. Quite frankly I'm surprised you used that fight as part of your platform. And then he lost to Kelly again in the rematch. Both of those fights were BEFORE Jermaine dropped Carl. Interesting that you mention Bhop as he moved to 175 after fighting Taylor.

    Just for the record, obviously Dick Tiger is one of the strongest fighters of the 60s and 70s and is recognized as such. Whereas Carl was very strong physically himself, I believe this is one of the few times he might get outmuscled.
