    Possibly, the only difference is Joe DID beat the fighters he beat whereas Jermain lost to a couple of his own opponents.

    As for Taylor having a chance against Kessler, well the great news is we will soon get to see.

    I actually Jermain a lot, and believe he could upset a few on the Super Six tournament. It doesn't change the fact that he was Ko'd twice, beaten 3 times and had 4 other fights (Hopkins twice, Spinks, Winky) that were all very controversial to say the least, and with him only escaping with a draw against Winky.

    Meanwhile Joe went 46-0.

    Joe's resume is better.
    Based on wins and losses, yeah it is. Which is why I tried to make it clearer what I meant. And what I meant was Taylor faced the better fighters. Which he did
    By that rationale we should be talking about Reggie Strickland's resume. A Resume is only a good one if you win. Having great jobs on your resume aint a good thing if you got fired from the most challenging ones.

    I agree that it has to be considered somewhere, but you can't base solely on the number of defeats on the resume neither; the quality of the opponents is kinda playing down the stretch about if you'll escape with a win or a lose.
