Taylor shuld be the clear favorite, again you cant count Pavlik out cus he's untested, but i think Taylor will win a 116-112 UD, or a late TKO
Many people have some how drank, smoked or absorbed the deliusional drug called 1 fight... and somehow turned Kelly Pavlik into this force, i agree the guy disected Edison Miranda and then dispoed of him, however Jermaine Taylor is no Edison Miranda and Kelly Pavlik is not the messiah... Go with what works not with what hurts so people keep your money in your pocket on the Kelly Pavlik beat and go with what you know seems to always come through whether is be entertaining boreing or knocked the fuck out (excuse my language) Jermaine Taylor will prevail victories!

When Bob Arum was willing to throw Pavlik in against Pantera in a nontitle fight, it told me the Top Rank guys had full confidence in Pavlik to beat anybody. JT hasn't looked good in a long time. JT still does amateur things in the ring sometimes. I just see Pavlik being too strong for JT.
Pavlik is the good syle for Tayor to show off against. Pavlik is hittable and likes to fight, unlike Spinks.
This will mean Pavlik getting hit...hard, with long shots from Taylor's reach.
This is a picke em fight. I'm scared for Taylor. I dont think Taylor can hurt Pavlick. Pavlick likes to come forward and apply pressure and carries some heavy hands. Pavlick also has better technique and boxing ability. Dont get me wrong...Jermain is a world class fighter but I feel an upset brewing here...
Taylor vs. Pavlik signed!
Calzaghe vs. Kessler signed!
Barrera vs. Pacquiao signed! (I think it's final)
Mayweather vs. Hatton likely!
This is what De La Hoya vs. Mayweather did for boxing. It woke the promoters up to the fact that big fights make big money...
I agree, it was good for boxing, I'll be in Atlantic City to see Pavlik/Taylor and Vegas for Hatton/PBF, damn I luv Vegas for a fight!
What!! I just heard yesterday from someone that the fight wasnt happening because Taylor refused to sign. I guess there were just two sources. I guess if its happening good for us good for them and good for boxing.
