I wouldnt go as far as calling him a punk. He was in the ring with a very powerful fighter and just got caught. If you pay attention to the fight before the stoppage he wasnt doing that bad. Its not like he was dominated the whole fight. It was just a classic case of slowly breaking down your opponent and thats what pavlik did. Good victory for pavlik but i think its unfair to write taylor off because of this. I say wait and see what he does in the rematch before judging him.

Stronger puncher, not a better fighter. Skill-wise, technically Taylor SHOULD have shown how much of a better fighter he really is. The fact that he didn't doesn't mean that he isn't. I'm not saying he BLOWS Pavlik out of the water, but overall, he's a more well-rounded fighter.
- Better footwork, quicker, better jab (normally), more head movement, upperbody movement as a whole, decent combinations. He just didn't fight smart and got beat by a pretty good fighter who hits harder than he does. I take nothing away from Pavlik.

I lost a lot of respect for Manny Steward that fight. But I guess that's part of what makes boxing so great. Only in boxing could talents like Taylor and Judah lose to guys like Pavlik and Cotto.

People use this word all the time, what ****ing meaning does it have. It's almost always used in this context as well. Somebody gets knocked out, or would get knocked out, Diego or somebody like him is there to say 'well so and so has more 'skills.' Whatever the **** that means in knockout defeats.
