    sorry but excuses about stamina don't wash. fights last for 12 rounds, if you get knocked out in the 12th it means your opponent has took all you can give without giving up and put you on the floor to show who's boss

    taylor is fortunate in the fact that he's one of the few fighters on earth with the style to beat b-hop which has given him more kudos and ratings than he deserves.

    calzaghe would have literally dismantled him
    He also beat that nobody Winky Wright which you failed to mention to support your opinion.

      Pavlik > Taylor > Froch


      Froch is like a less-skilled version of Pavlik with uglier, wider punches. Taylor is too dumb and awkward, despite his physical talents. Pavlik isn't A class, but he's the best overall of the bunch.

        I'd say Pavlik if he beats Paul Williams, Froch if he wins the Super Six tournament.

        Taylor might be ahead of both at the moment but then again he has pretty much finished his career unless he still has something left, which I tend to doubt.

              My bad, i forgot he did not get the decision in the end. I thought he won the fight though, i know a lot of people think he lost but i thought he landed the cleaner harder shots throughout, it kinda reminded me of the Winky vs Vargas fight, where Wink was more consistent but he was not landing the quality.

                  I'd say Taylor is the more complete fighter and would probably win today if they fought again.

                    He prolly did, but i score rounds for who scores the more effective blows round by round and that is why i did not give Wink the win, that said i can see Winky winning to.

                      It all depends on what a person determines as skills.

                      Is Heart, Determination, Stamina and Desire Skills? I say they are. They are skills just like reflexes, speed and athletic ability.

                      Most here see reflexes, speed and athletic ability are the foundation of skill. Skill though comes in many shapes and forms and all the attributes I listed above are God Given.

                      Acquired skills, such as Jab, throwing technique, defense etc is also open to interpretation. All three of them have great Jabs. Pavlik Has the ability to throw right hands right down the pipe with no winding up. Froch has endless stamina.

                      All three of them hold certain advantages over the other two. Pavlik's and Froch's style was just able to overcome Taylor's on the evenings they fought.

                      It is not all Black and White.
