I hate using the word overrated but it fits perfectly here. Before Taylor had fought Pavlik he had gone through fighter like Hopkins, Wright, Ouma and Spinks. In each and everyone of them he looked below average especially in the Spinks fight.
Look at some of the reponses here:
Taylor sc****d past Hopkins, proberbly should have lost against Wright, couldn't stop Ouma after hitting him with the kitchen sink and was horrible against Spinks YET he looks his best against Pavlik in losing twice. Some have even heralded it as a great win.
Pavlik drew out a good win over a ring magazine champ in Taylor but it isn't a great win just a good one. He KO'd a guy who looked horrible in his last 5 fights. I'm not a pavlik "hater" it's just an assessment I made looking at some of the posts on here. Pavlik's real defining fight will be against Abraham or hopkins depending on whether he beats him and in which fashion.
