No, I don't kill ppl. I just get upset because I don't like when people treat me down like dirt. If I did kill someone, I'd end up killing myself. I'm one of those people that I'd feel guilty if I ever killed someone. Not because of the law, but because I couldn't live with myself if I did.
Anyone can read through far back on any post I posted on this website. And you can see how ppl on here set my anger off. There is not freaking reason to call someone a dumb ass for giving there opinion. Now, in my post I said that Taylor or Pavlik could switch to southpaw stance to confuse their opponent. I don't see that as a dumb comment since Cotto does that in his fights. And I know there not cotto, but this is such a big fight and who knows if either of them can fight in a different stance? None of us do, just because they haven't fought in a different stance doesn't mean they can't or they're not good. Maybe one of them have been waiting for an opportunity to do that. I just know if I was a boxer, I would switch my stance up to confuse my opponent. It seems to work quite well with miguel cotto.Last edited by EliteSoldier; 09-27-2007, 09:37 PM.Comment

All of these happened after (during, in hopkins case) he became the champion. If you rely soly on experiance and who they fought, then Taylor should have had no chance at beating Hopkins. Pavlik has a better resume at the time chalenging the champion, than Taylor did (when he fought hopkins).Pavlik hasnt fougt against an elite fighter period
Pavlik's last 5 Opponents
Miranda - overrated power puncher with no technical skills
Zertuche - bum
Lenord Pierre - who??
Bronco Mckart- great fighter in his hay day, obviously old fighter
Zuniga - bum
Taylor's last 5 Opponents
Spinks - former undisputed welterweight champ, jun mid champ and a slick south paw
Ouma - tough as nails former soldier and champion
winky - defensive masterminded southpaw, champion, hof
hopkins - past his prime but still game undispusted middleweight champ, hof, boxing genius
i rest my case
for those questioning taylor's stamina
pavlik hasn't even gone past 9 rounds
shouldn't there be questions for his stamina in the late rounds??Comment

Lets take a look at the 5 fighters TAYLOR fought BEFORE he challenged for the title:
Edouard - Tough guy, weak skills. I actually commend Taylor for stopping him how he did
Joppy - Joppy was FADED.
Martinez- Balogna fight
Bunema - ???
Rios - ???
That list ABSOLUTELY HAILS in comparison to PAVLIKS pre-title wins. And Guess what, Taylor was able to win.
And Pavliks stamina shouldnt be anywhere NEAR in question, because he's slugging it out with Edison Miranda in the 7th round of a war, still throwing 70+ a round. In the Zuniga fight as well.
Taylor tired badly late in his fight against Hopkins... from what? being tense? that shows a lot of petential for fading in a grueling fight like this will be
And whats MOST pathetic about Taylors RECENT last 5, is there is an argument that he lost 4 OF HIS LAST 5!!!! HOW REDICULOUS IS THAT!!!! and there's a STRONG argument that he lost 3 of his last 5
didn't see this post before i posted mine, sorry. pretty much what i said with more detailComment

u just showed how dumb u aresomebody called fulgencio zuniga a bum... theyre the bum
zuniga got knocked out by pavlik at middle, stepped up 8 pounds to super middle and knocked out victor oganov who was 26-0 w/ 26 KO's
mckart has won 3 straight fights since being knocked out by pavlik (only time in his career) and recently defeated enrique ornelas for the NABO middleweight title.
