First of all Jermain Taylor doesn't fight the way Tarver fights, doesn't try defense the way Tarver tries, doesn't use his jab like Tarver tries, and Tarver is a southpaw.

The styles of both Jermain and Tarver are so far apart its laughable to compare styles and try to upgrade Jermain Taylor because of what Bernard just did to Antonio.
A bit harsh Starr :P

It does reflect well on Taylor though as nobody has looked good against Hopkins in recent years and Taylor is the only fighter to have given him trouble. The fact that he's gone on to beat Tarver shows that age had nothing to do with Taylor's victories and that he didn't beat a Hopkins on the slide.

He beat a champion at the top of tree, so I think Taylor deserves respect.

He will get it in a couple weeks time......
I'm harsh because I knew people would take thie route and try to upgrade Jermain for what Bernard did to Tarver. Two different fighters, and two different circumstances. Stop trying to build up another fighter off of two different styles. Because if Taylor was a southpaw and fought the same style Antonio did, he would have gone out the same way
