If Taylor loses to Pavlik again....

[killakai]

if taylor loses again, hes got a really really tough journey to travel for respect. Hes a boring fighter as it is. He was able to win at lighter weights because of his size, strength and quickness. Even then he didn't knock enough dudes out for my taste, he just does enough to win on points.


I was especially dissappointed with the spinks fight. here is a guy who couldnt hurt guys in lighter wieghts, who moved up and Taylor was still scared to bring it to him. If he loses to pavlik again, he has to radically change his style. Even to beat Pavlik hes to change his defense, and his stance. you cant keep you hands that low against a guy with power.

If Taylor loses again, he'll be very discouraged and disappointed with himself.
George Foreman lost twice to the same guy in the amateurs and he said it's one of the hardest things to go through.
I want a trilogy.

why is this a non-title fight?

the fight is over the middleweight limit

why is this a non-title fight?

already asked that question a while ago. Taylor is over the midleweight limit, so he can't fight for the title. However, if Taylor beats Pavlik, it's likeley there will be a second re-match for the title at the middleweight weight level.

thanks mate.

my fault for not looking at all the minor details.

if Taylor looses again, he will be the next Chris Byrd, fighting 40 year old rednecks. Not to mention the occasional russian. But in all seriousness, Taylor's career is in the ****ter if he losses this fight. He will have to start all the way from the bottom again, and at his age, he doesn't have time for that.
