The Stats on Taylor-Pavlik

[Wiley Hyena]

Please explain to me what in Taylor's past matches makes you think he will be unconscious if Pavlik catches him? He has never been knocked out. He has never been knocked down (that I know of). I don't even think Pavlik ****s that hard. Miranda's chin isn't exactly the best, and it took The Ghost 7 rounds to knock him out. Obviously if he catches Jermain on the chin with a bomb, then yes, but that's not a criticism of Taylor, that is a criticism of the human body. Most people are out after getting their chin crushed by a power punch.

Pavlik's fights show that Pavlik has KO power in both hands. Once he really hurts an opponent, he is exceedingly efficient in taking him out. Don't ask me what I have seen in Pavlik's past to think he is a power puncher. To dismiss that fact is just to ignore the man altogether. Pavlik has a 90% knockout percentage for heaven's sake. The question is: What have you seen in Pavlik that makes you believe he is overrated as a power puncher? Because that seems to be the point of your post.

With regard to Taylor, I don't think Taylor's chin has ever been tested like it will be in this fight. IMO. If Taylor has a granite chin, then his chances increase exponentially. But, from what I've seen of Taylor, I do not believe he has a granite chin. I could be wrong though, because like I said, his chin is relatively untested.

If Pavlik catches Taylor with a bomb...it's over......period. So you Taylor fans better start e-mailing him or something...to stay on the outside and box, where he will be safe.

Well we would have to wait and see what taylor does.

"Some people are only basing Pavlik on his last match with an overrated fighter. Pavlik has never fought someone in the league of Taylor. "

Who did Taylor face that was in the league of Hopkins before he beat him? Call me crazy, but Pavlik's bashing of the upcoming Miranda is far more impressive than Taylor decisioning a spiraling Joppy. Again, a completely illogical way to look at a fight.
