Maybe Bernard Hopkins shouldn't have lost to Jermaine Taylor either...Twice!
Markus Beyer & Anthony Mundine are not fit to lace Taylor's gloves. Say what you like about Taylor, but his resume is one of the best in the sport. He's taken on the best in their primes & whilst he might not have always won, he's earned respect. Bernard Hopkins 2x, Winky Wright, Cory Spinks, William Joppy, Kelly Pavlik, Jeff Lacy, Kassim Ouma, Raul Marquez, Carl Froch & Arthur Abraham.
The best names on Beyer & Mundine's records combined are Mikkel Kessler, Sakio Bika & Sven Ottke. There's not a win among them & they were largely uncompetitive with those guys. Even in his defeats Taylor has always been competitive.
Just for the record, for the entirety of this thread. Hopkins is not ducking Green. Give Green a title shot at someone like Tavoris Cloud or Jurgen Braehmer. But he's not a proper world champ yet & he's not
'The Man' 
Oh & Roy Jones should've retired after being put to sleep by Johnson. I lost a lot of respect for Calzaghe fighting him & I'd have lost the same if he'd fought Hopkins, which I said at the time I saw as sanctioned murder.
Credit to Green, but he didn't 'become a legend' by beating an old Roy Jones. Unless Trevor Berbick, Pat Lawlor, Stan Harrington & Uriah Grant are legends of the sport.
