Here is Jermaine Taylor's highlights. Yeah he ran out of gas against Abraham and Pavlik as well. His record now is:
won 33 (KO 21) + lost 4 (KO 3) + drawn 1
rounds boxed 261 KO% 54.05

The rec speaks for itself he was a great middleweight, a nothing super middleweight. Plain and simple. I don't see how Froch can be an ATG. He lost to the 2 best fighters he came up against.
Yea brock Talyor was really good at mw but even before Froch Pavlik kicked his ass. Talyor did nothing at smw and not a good win to have same with Abraham nothing at smw really. Froch was never the man at his weight class and has loses to best in his division not really atg maybe a hof. I am not saying Froch is shit but atg a big title to have and for a guy who was always number 2 or 3 and never number 1 at 168 i think that title is not for him. His resume is good but not good enough to point you can over look him never being the best.
