Lennox Lewis believes that him and Pavlik have a similar muscle-type and Lennox still favors Taylor.

[Azteca]

Who has the discipline in this fight to use it? I would say Pavlik. He's very coachable. He has the ability to listen. If I had both guys in my army, and I said okay, this is what I want you to do. I want you to throw 50 jabs at the start. Jermain would start doing it but then stop. Pavlik will do it and keep doing it.

But that should change in this fight because Jermain has been in isolation (Pocono camp). When you are in isolation you can hear better and it sinks in. Nobody loses coming off the mountain. There is something about the Poconos, the isolation that makes you a better New York fighter. I never lost a fight when I trained up there. I must have gone there about eight times. I had been working mostly on the West Coast, but there were a lot of distractions. I'm the kind of guy who craves isolation. I don't like the distractions of the city.

I don't want to take the credit, but I have been telling Manny (Steward, Taylor trainer) Jermain needs to go to the Poconos, he needs to learn things in isolation. He needs to surround himself with people (fighters) who have the same goal and stature. Jermain is coming down off the mountain to knockout Pavlik.

.....good quote..

Some of what he says isn't even true.

And He loves Manny Steward, of coarse he's gonna go with Taylor. He didnt give Pavlik nearly the credit he deserves

A boxer beats a brawler thats why i'm going with Taylor

[WendySharp]

I think if Taylor is ****** enough to trade with Pavlik it will be over pretty quick. I still think Taylor is gonna get knocked out no matter what he does though. He might be able to prolong it til the later rounds if he keeps moving and jabbing. But, its gonna happen. Taylor will face down on another planet that night.

Come back Lennox! Take over the heavyweight division once again.

I agree with you on that. 9 times out of 10 the pure boxer\puncher will beat the brawler.
