Why don't you just go ahead and start a thread asking "Who is the better fighter? Pavlik or Taylor?" because we can all feel that's where this is going; it's the underlying assumption in each of your threads so far. "Pavlik is better than Taylor who was better than Hopkins," is clearly the logic you are trying to use.
The fact is that they are two pretty evenly matched fighters; Taylor just didn't have an answer for Pavlik. Who's the more versatile fighter? Taylor. Who's the more technical, disciplined fighter? Pavlik. One of them could beat fighters the other couldn't beat and vice versa (as we saw with Hopkins). Their different styles give them different match up problems for different opponents.
