Do you think Quillin is a better fighter than a prime Jermaine Taylor?

[ykdadamaja]

No, at least not yet. A prime JT went head to head with Hopkins and beat Winky Wright. Quillin's claim to fame is a close win over N'Jikam, thus far. The problem is that Quillin's people haven't done jack for his career in the past year. While other middleweights are on the rise, Barker/GGG, even Geale in loss, Quillin's career stagnates. Heck, it even seems likes Hatton is doing a better job for Murray.

What in the world are you smoking? Quillin is the WBO champ. No one wants to fight.

The only fights out there that folks would take serious at this stage are fights with GGG/Ward (step up in weight) and Martinez. I think Murray would take the fight too. But Barker would duck and so would anyone else at MW and S-MW.

Quillin is in an unfortunate position because most of the middleweight division is fighting on HBO these days and Golden Boy isn't offering enough money to make the rest of the division fight Quillin on Showtime. Mora has offered his services to Quillin. That's as good a fight as Quillin will get at middleweight right now.

Why would Barker duck Quillin if he got in the ring with Martinez and Geale? Makes no sense, especially after Quillin's performance against N'Dam, which was fine, but showed his limitations at the top level.

Quillin's power and grit... Martinez isn't power anymore. Geale is not ever a power puncher or someone to be afraid of. Quillin and GGG are.

I would take a fight against Andre Ward before I take a fight against Quillin or GGG.

Geale can obviously punch enough, that body shot that dropped Barker was savage. Don't think I've seen Quillin hit with anything like that, he hasn't been in with great punchers himself.

But, N'Dam outboxed Quillin for most of their fight. Under your theory, not mine, you can't change cannon fodder. Right?
