Who You Got: TAYLOR / PAVLIK???

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I'm very surprised most of you have decommissioned Taylor as a fighter.

For some reason, this is an easy pick for me... - Taylor, as long as he sticks to his plan and doesn't do anything ******.

Taylor is a better boxer. He has been in with some of the greatest active fighters...

The way I see it.. He punched himself out in the second and things went downhill since.



TAYLOR - UD.

PS - Unless Pavlik wins again, and proves that his win was not a "lucky" one.. I'll believe in him. Until then, he is still a green fighter in my eyes who simply got lucky.
Sorry!

I feel the same way. And I'll pick Taylor this time too.

pavlik knocks him out again.

My gut instinct tells me Pavlik by KO similar to the last fight, maybe lasting a lil' longer this time around, but my head thinks Taylor may pull an upset for some strange reason...I guess after watching the Williams-Quintana fight...who knows?

The Pavlik bandwagon is getting way overloaded, and it's about to get tipped over. I'm pulling for Jermain to win impressively. I think a focused and ready Taylor can win by KO or decision.

I mean...do you guys "really" think Taylor is going to sit there and box Pavlik all night??? He isn't Floyd Mayweather by any means. The second he gets hit with a right hand he's gonna try and trade with Pavlik. Taylor isn't that disciplined to go in and try to box Pavlik and take punishment at the same time.

Doesn't hurt to dream i guess...

Pavlik 5th round KO

I think the fact that since Taylor won the Middleweight title most of his wins have been gift decisions against smaller guys. First time he fights a real middleweight he gets knocked into LA LA Land. I suspect this has something to do why most folks believe he'll lose again.

[Dory]

Sorry!

Taylor is the better natural athlete, and is faster! He is not a better boxer! not even close! he loses his mind when the fight starts, and abandons all he has trained for! Pavlik is a very text book fighter, and does all the little things that most do not notice! pavlik dispatched of everyone in his path thus far! he is far from green at this point! he is only 25, and has alot to learn! but to say he is green though is incorrect! he beat alot of very good fighters that were either unbeaten, and never knocked out b4 till they met the ghost! don't hate!
