The thing that's most impressive about Pavlik is that he is decievingly strong. Taylor is a fighter that has made a career on "bullying" people backwards, he couldn't do that against Pavlik.
I will admit, Taylor was landing the harder punches and more effective jabs but Pavlik was just throwing the jab alot more and threw taylor off with just having it in his face.
Taylor wasn't busy enough, bottom line. If you can't see that you are blinded by your love for taylor. Pavlik's conditioning in insane, he kept the same pace for 12 rounds and that's what won him the fight.
If your going to have Taylor's style of fighting, you have to be busy. It's a style that dictates for you to be busy and not pot shotting whenever you get your energy back. taylor looked very good in spurts but just couldn't do it enough throught the fight to win it.
There were times where Taylor seemed to not throw punches for minutes at a time, you can't win a fight like that and I think it was due to conditioning.
