JERMAIN TAYLOR fought Bernard Hopkins TWICE beat him TWICE and fought p4p-er Winky Wright who if I am not mistaken fought tons of guys in Europe and whipped their asses.
What have guys like Sturm, Abraham, and Asikainen done as compared to Taylor? Sure Sturm fought well vs De la Hoya but has he taken advantage of the attention he got from that fight? NOPE! Abraham is fighting another UNPROVEN fighter in Miranda, he wins all of a sudden he's the best ever? It's Edison Miranda, all offense nothing else a tough fight but not THE TOUGHEST. Asikainen HAHAHAHA...ridiculous
Kessler won the title from a guy who was KO'd by the feather fister Svenn Ottke...and the fight went the distance
