    There was nothing wrong with his losses to Pavlik, hes in the middle of a great career. Hes beaten some of the biggest names in the sport. He's the kind of fighter to learn from losses and grow as a boxer.

          i'm curious to why you think taylor has become a better fighter because he looks like the same fighter that fought spinks wright and ouma

            the experience humbled him mentally and it manifested physically against Pavlik. he showed something he seldom showed in previous fights in the rematch. thats a very good sign.

                I got a little annoyed with Taylor, over his work rate and his conditioning (lack of) the last few times I saw him fight. He put on a good showing in the Pavlik rematch, though, and I'm hoping he'll continue to show that sort of discipline from now on. Still needs to let his hands go more.

                Regarding a rubbermatch.....I don't know if he deserves one unless he really comes alive in the ring during his next few matches.

                    Pavlik is the only man in the division who could beat taylor on that cold night of the rematch... Taylor is still a beast.

                      i think he'll beat or give anyone a hard fight in middle/super-middle . . .

                      he showed he has a lot of heart and i would love to see him get back in the ring. him vs. Lacy would be good comeback fight, since there little threat and lacy is somewhat of a name. hopefully it'll be better then the lacy/manfredo which was a real bore . . .
