But his swarming tactics may really unsettle Taylor and it would be a war, Taylor can't afford to go backwards because Iran is just too dangerous.
I know he was beaten many times, losing his last 6 straight fights....at Heavy weight!!! And many of those losses came when he was very much past his prime. He did have about 8 losses when he faced Toney at SMW. Believe me he had enuff to beat Taylor, ya don't have to be a world beater to beat Jermain Taylor, just a good, power punching, pressure fighter like Barkley.
