    So what do you think would be Calzaghe's record if he had Jermain Taylor's resume and if Jermain Taylor had Calzaghe's resume?

    The 18 year old Taylor would have been destroyed by Eubank.....

    He'd have knocked out 3 JMW's which isn't exactly an achievement, beaten old Mary another time

    So basically, how does he fair against Pavlik? He destroys him.

    Taylor would have lost to Eubank and Kessler for sure. Life and death with Reid, I'd favour Reid. Lacy is a tough fight that could go either way.

    Well, i can see where there can be confusion. I didn't specify at what point of each fighter's career the fights would take place. I feel like deleting this thread.

    JC would have two losses against Hopkins but two wins against Pavlik.
    JT would possibly have a loss to Kessler.

    Against the same opposition?

    Calzaghe's undefeated, two competitive wins, only legitimate to Hopkins and a shutout over Wright(check the styles on that one guys), then destructions over Raul Marquez, Pavlik and Ouma/Spinks.

    Taylor loses to -

    Eubank
    Kessler(badly I might add)
    Hopkins(I had him losing both fights to Bernard anyway, maybe the judges get it right this time)
    ............

    Then you wonder that he can't beat Pavlik, why shouldn't Lacy be favoured as a hard hitting pressure guy as well, holding the styles advantage, this one could either way, as could a fight with Reid. 50/50 these two.

    Taylor beats Sheika, Mitchell, Veit, Brewer and Bika with not a lot of trouble.
