Who had the better career: Zab Judah or Jermain Taylor?

[King P]

Ring Gang back with another poll topic. We discussed this on the cast (myself @patscorpio and @LauderdaleBoss).

Both this 2 guys had very interesting careers. Both with peaks and valleys. Both undisputed Champions. Both had their careers ended similarly. Who's career was better though

 

[patscorpio]

its wild how similar these 2 are

both were undisputed in their primes
both have a signature win
both have signature losses..bad ones
both won a title past their prime
both ended up with brain injuries

but i think ill give it to zab because his run was longer than taylors

maan idk........... taylor victories over hopkins ending that streak puts him over zab for me despite his falloff being quicker

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Taylor

his highest moment was higher

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Taylor had a higher high, but Zab’s run was longer at the top level. I just remember Zab being in a few more bigger fights during his run. Loved Jermain man but I’m Rolling with Judah.

Those Baldomier and Paulie losses aged horribly

 

[I AM WE ARE]

I was always a taylor fan his fall off hurt me personally for some reason

there was something about jermain taylor that i was never fully onboard for...i always thought he was shaky..with being said i thought he beat bhop by a very close decision the first fight but i didnt think he won the second bhop fight...and then it seemed like he was struggling more than he should...he def lost to cory spinks IMO...i didnt see him losing to slow ass pavlik...that was some bullshyt ..his 168 run crashed and burned so quickly...honestly he was lucky lacy was already sliding worse than he was...the froch fight was a bad loss...it was like the bhop fights..he faded late but froch was able to catch him...and then the abe loss...bleeding on the brain that should have been it...any fight after this was added on brain damage..he didnt need some of those fights..hell he shouldn't have been licensed...i found it amazing he was able to win the middleweight belt again after all that..but yeah that dude is very messed up today

Not just that the way he lost to Pauline was

yeah baldomir beating him pissed a lot of nikkas off and took luster off the floyd-zab fight..splintered the belts too...and we had to get a floyd-baldomir fight out of this

 

[Big Boss]

Froch fight I couldn't believe it. Like he had that shyt in the bag. Even if they fought in the UK he'd take the w. Then he faded maaaan you don't give froch a chance like that
