I think he picked Hopkins because he still thinks of Hopkins as the fighter he beat three years ago, not the one we saw against Calzaghe. Remember, Taylor has said he doesn't watch a lot of fights.
Plus I think he respects Hopkins' skill more than Pavlik's. Hell, I think most of us do. But with an old fighter it doesn't necessarily come down to skill and skill alone.
