    Taylor WAS maybe. I've watched the second Taylor/Pavlik fight at least half a dozen times and am still impressed with how fast he gets some shots off. Still makes me flinch.

    Jermain Taylor begun going downhill the minute he got rid off trainer Pat Burns.

    With Pat Burns, Taylor was 25 and 0.
    Undefeated, Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World.

    After Burns,
    A controversial draw with Winky Wright.
    Controversial wins over junior middlewieghts Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks.
    A brutal KO loss to Kelly Pavlik, another loss to Pavlik.
    A win over a shot Jeff Lacy while getting knocked down during the fight.
    And two more brutal KO losses to Froch and Abraham.


    Taylor listened to the wrong people and he is now paying for it.
