Tell Pavlik to take his black ass up to Heavyweight. Revive the division, you know? He's skinny, he could make it....

He would be ******ed not to. I like Pavlik but after the fight he was smart enough to know Taylor wouldn't face him by things he said. He is too big a risk with too little a reward. Unless HBO backs him like Miranda then Taylor won't make the dough he should facing him. I think Pavlik would beat Taylor and with the Calzaghe money possible, Taylor's people aren't dumb enough to make this fight without a huge Public demand for it.

Do I come down to the south and question the weight divisions of your heros? Do I slap the boxrec print-out's from YOUR hand?

He's the one from Youngstown, not you. If he says that Boom Boom was a Middleweight, then goddammit, he's a ****ing Middlewight.

TAYLOR-PAVLIK should be in the GARDEN.

I would DIE to go to that fight. It would be awsome.

MANCINI talks a lot though, when he gets on a role he exagerates more and more. Like he first said PAVLIK COULD BE BOXINGS NEXT SUPERSTAR.

which i could definetly see happening.

BUt then he got carried away and said he would become the most FAMOUS BOXER TO EVER STEP INTO A RING. that made me laugh

Boom Boom is still the man though

I felt that the second is a definite candidate for round of the year.

If the public demands it I think Taylor will take this fight, just like he did with Winky.
