    I do agree that when he say's JT is not a strong fighter I think more so he means mentally. He called Pavlik a string bean but that would be an interesting head to head matchup. I got Pavlik losing early but coming back to wear him down and stopping him.

    That dude can say whatever he likes, he earned his props. Dude is a fighter through and through.
    What's wrong with his eye though?

    Pavlik KO10 Barkley! I've never been a fan of "The Blade." How the hell did he beat Tommy Hearns TWICE. A ****in' mystery for the ages!

    I'd have easily picked Pavlik over Barkley.

    BUT. Barkley could have beaten Taylor.

    Glad to see something out of Iran, he was a fighter in every sense of the word. Despite the looks with the eye thing, he actually sounds a little better than I'd remembered.

    Poor Barkley

    boxing left him some permanent physical damage, and no money

    Taylor is better than Barkley. I don't rate Iran too highly. He was just a big, tough, aggressive guy. He didn't have exceptional power, chin and certainly not technique. he's a lot like Taylor in that sense, but I think Jermain would beat him over 12 uneventful rounds.
