    That's what it is for me.

    Anyone who has a martial arts backgound can appreciate tremendously what taking on difficult and puzzling styles can do for a fighter. In many ways.

    You don't come out of challenges like that with nothing to show for it.

    Pavlik is a good fighter with impressive power - but since when did being a big strong destroyer become insurmountable? This is Boxing - these guys are trained for contingency's like this one. Especially this one.

    If Taylor drops his hands and allows Pavlik to back him into the ropes he's DONE. If he uses his ability and smarts he'll be absolutely fine.

      Like I said eralier, Cory Spinks started at 147, he went life and death with Mayo, gets awarded the belt somehow. Beats unimpressively Judah, then gets koed by the same guy. Goes to fight for a championship against roman Karmazin, it was close a fight but did he really win it. Meanwhile, that same guy Roman beat the piss out of Ouma. Now Ouma and Spinks jump to fight at 160 against "Bad Intention" and what does he show, forget the boxing skills and styles make fights here, he showed that he no longer had it in him to stand his ground and punish the smaller, less proven men. Instead, he run and he held, and he couldn't even budge those little guys.

      Jermain's moniker should be Jermain "Bad Inventory" Taylor.

        My apologies to the experts at Boxing Scene. 15 of them have picked Pavlik to win with only 10 picking Taylor.

                  A lot of people picked Pavlik back then, which is understandable considering Pavlik had good power and Taylor had sc****d through a couple fights.
