Taylor is still a dangerous opponent, he had Pavlik badly hurt in round 2, which people seem to forget.
He has the skills and the talent, but I still expect a Pavlik win.
Taylor has a good chin he was hurt by Hopkins ,Winky & kTFO by Pavlik
Taylor was Boxing he had no choice but stand & fight Pavlik at times because he dont have the stamina to stay on the outside for too long ,Pavlik would have walked him down anyway & he would still have had to fight at some point cause of Pavlik workrate & willingness to walk straight to him
Pavlik is the king of fighter that will not be denied when he is the mood u need to stop him literally to win the fight otherwise he will just keep coming Boxing him aint gonna get the job done
Taylor wasnt hurt by Winky, what the **** are you talking about?
I'm not going to write Taylor off just yet. He held his own with Hopkins and Wright (whether or not you think he beat Bernard both times) and almost had Pavlik out in the second. Plus for some reason the judges had him rediculously ahead (5 rounds to 1 on one scorecard) at the time of the stoppage. It's entirely possible that he uses his athleticism to outbox Pavlik this time, maybe even learn to fight on his toes a bit. It's going to be a lot harder to knock Jermain out this time and a decision will be tough. Just about a pickem in my eyes.
