    This is a little something I've been thinking about since the Jermain Taylor overrated/overhyped thread got posted, and I didn't want it to get lost in that thread. I view overrated/overhyped as something fans and networks do in response to a fighter, but it's not really an indicator of the quality of the fighter in question. So, let's try to put JT's quality as it relates to the rest of Hopkins' middleweight reign in perspective.

    Regardless of whether you think he was overhyped or not, where does he rank in comparison with the fighters Hopkins successfully defended against on a head to head basis? Who did Hopkins beat that, in the same form, at that weight, would've beaten Jermain?

    Discuss. :!:

    Tito Trinidad
    Possibly Antwun Echols (he'd stand a punchers chance, but JT should be favored)

    Trinidad.

    Echols would have a chance and I've got a sneaky for Holmes.

    De La Hoya would beat Taylor at 156lbs.
