Yep...so true...that's why he's not fought a legit middleweight other than Hopkins...& dare I say it...Joppy.
Ouma and Spinks might be a division or two high but at least they are quality opposition. Lets not forget your boy Bernard's only name wins were against small guys too (excluding his last fight). Why fight the rest when you can fight the best
Names?

That's the funny thing about Bernard's record...everyone always forgets that he fought middleweights too...they just latch on to Oscar & Tito. Remember...he was the legit middleweight champion...just because your bun's to tight don't make ya right...loosen up that Hairdoo so you can rationalize.
Thought you'd like that. You know Wacko only kids.

That being said...

Totally disagree with you here.

The sad thing is...I really really was big up on Taylor. I got hooked on him the minute he hit ESPN2 & I was sold hook line & sinker. Then I started paying attention to the match making & when Dibella's hand fit snuggly up his ass & turned him into a puppet...I lost it.

Coming up Bernard fought something like 47 or 48 actual middles. I'd have to boxrec it to get an actual number...but the other handful were borderliner's & then you had Oscar & Tito & Tarver & the Mitchell loss at 175. There is where the huge difference lies between champion & Taylor. Sorry…but the men that Hops whooped were actual middles & they weren’t the walk overs that most fight fans claim they were.

The same can’t be said of Taylor. Do the math. He’s fought roughly 17 or 18 full fledged middles, the others were moving up from either 1 or 2 classes.

Granted fighting Hopkins & Wright speak bounds for Taylor...but he drew with Wright & the Hopkins win...well...that wasn't really what one would call a grandiose performance. I can give him the second match...but the first fight was not a win for Taylor...it shoudlv'e been a draw or Hopkins win...but that's just my opinion.

Heir apparent? Apparently that's still yet to be decided.
