I've been a fan of Jermain for a long time, I watched him grow up in some fights and I saw his potential to beat Hopkins before a lot of people on the forum.

The problem he had vs Pavlik is that he just couldn't get away from Kelly's punches and Kelly never got tired. It was a hell of a fight.


I will say this though, Jermain Taylor shouldn't be hated on because he won some close decisions....IMO the Spinks and Ouma fights were the reasons I became a tad tired of his antics but his work vs Hopkins and Wright was great stuff and he has a long career ahead of him just so long as he keeps trying to get better.

He could beat Pavlik in a rematch, it's not out of the question, he hurt him in the fight.....great fight though
