Kelly Pavlik vs. Jermain Taylor: Who Will Win?

[GunStar]

I don't see Taylor losing to Pavlik, this will be the easiest win for Taylor in years, I predict a TKO win for Taylor after the 6th round.

[bishop2006]

Pavlik by KO or TKO, he is a true middle weight and has good power and a good chin. I think either Miranda or Pavlik could beat Taylor.

Agreed,Taylors been hurt a couple of times by average punchers,****,Winky and Ouma actually hurt him a couple of times,Bernard had him real hurt and Jermain had to survive,these opponents dont hit NEARLY as hard as Pavlik,not close,and Jermains defense...well he doesnt have a defense,he'll back up to the ropes like he did against Wright once Wright was pressuring him,if Jermain got backed up by a smaller light hitting Wright,he definatly will against a true middleweight ****er in Pavlik,and either gets TKO'd,or holds on to lose a decision

I think Taylor wins a decision. Im not sure he has the power to knock Pavlik out.

Taylor by UD. This is an easy one. Taylor would look really good against Pavlik. I don't see anyone taking his belt.

[dansweeney]

your underestimating pavlik, he throws straight punches with excellent power. pavlik will catch up to taylor in the last third of the fight. he cant run forever.

Some of you guys are underrating Taylor here, he probably deserves it from his sloppy performances but obviously something about him gave trouble to p4p kingpin at the time Bernard Hopkins and also to Winky Wright.

the only thing that gave Hopkins trouble were the judges and hbo in the first fight, against Winky as usual taylor being the bigger harder puncher naturally chose to go backwards the whole fight, in other words he gave himself trouble by choosing not toexecute the best fight plan. Taylor will probably get put in a corner and stopped in this one.

Taylor is to good he will win by a long margin!!!

[wmute]

lol. So 2 p4p fighters just dropped ball ,huh?

Taylor deserves more credit than he gets.


Hard to pick against pavlik though.

Yes he deserves full credit for fighting a 40 years old (who can fight 6 rounds prer fight, see the eastman fight) and a smaller man who was 7 years his senior.

With his peformances so far Taylor is the WORST undisputed Middleweight champions of the past 25 years by a mile. (the previous ones being Hopkins, Toney, Nunn and Hagler).

[wmute]

I dont care who wins, as long as the winne puts up an impressive performance. it can be the boxer the agressor I dont care. I want to see an undisputed middleweight champion, who's worth it. If it's Pavlik fine. If Taylor finally digs it out, fine.
