    Examples: athletic- Mayweather,Judah,Spinks, Malinaggi,Mosley.Jones

    Examples non athletic-Hatton,Cotto,Arce,Toney,Golota, Tszyu
    That's called basic coordination of movement and good ol agility.
    Which Toney had plenty of.

    Hatton and Tszyu, while both are not very agile are also very coordinated as well


    So, athletism is some sort of mic of coordination and agility. That's my best guess.

Logically, Taylor should be the favorite because he has the better opposition, whereas Pavlick has only Miranda. Taylor is probably the more gifted athlete and no doubt has the speed advantage going in. Infact, most all the advantages with the exception of power are leaning Taylors way.


        That said, I have changed my mind on this fight. I pay alot of attention to a fighters mentality as i believe it can overcome many obstacles if the person is strong enough mentally. Pavlick seems to possess a quit strength of character that was apparant in the methodical destruction of Miranda. He also has some major league pop and a seriously long right hand!


        My gut says Pavlick is gonna take this one even though he shouldn't.

        Look for the ko mid fight between the 8th and 10th!

        Taylor just seems ripe to fall!
        Dont lie. You read my prediction and changed your mind didn't you..

          There is alot there if you pay attention. I think Pavlick will connect!

            ha ha, i'm just playing around.

            Anyway the way I see it. Taylor's best bet is too throw the 1-2 and circle. His jab has to be his major offensive weapon. Only problem is whenever Taylor fights top competition he freezes up and doesn't throw the jab. His jab really has only looked good vs. medicore competition. And that's putting it lightly.

            Pavlik isn't too sharp defensively, but he is aware enough to slip some of those jabs and half step in and pressure Taylor on the ropes. Taylor is going to fade by the 8th round where Pavlik is going to thrive. I think Pavlik knocks him out late.

                The memory of Winky Wright backing up Taylor against the ropes and unleashing flurries against Taylor who went into a defensive shell didn't bode well with me....I picture Kelly backing him up and it's not a pretty picture.
