I would love to see Taylor come back and ko again...

Taylor has stamina issues,plus Pavliks a fcking beast a few losses and everyone labels him a bum.As for Abraham before the super six he was the prohibited favorite.

Taylor has bad defense, Pavlik and (especially) Abraham hit hard.

and Taylor isnt exactly the most skilled guy ever. pretty fast, but fundamentally flawed.
it happens.

Exactly Mark. Pavlik is a beast! Annoys me when people label fighters as bums after a couple of losses. He lost to Martinez, but it wasn't as one sided as most people like to think it was. Now the the Hopkins fight was one sided, but still I wouldn't count out Pavlik in future fights.

It really is pathetic. Pavlik's personal problems may have ruined him now, but he was a damn good fighter. Taylor losing to him twice isn't awful at all.

Taylor lost to Abraham because he was past it. Getting knocked out took it's toll.

I agree. He really was/is a damn good fighter. I think his drinking did have an effect on his fights, even though he claims it never had.

Taylor, I don't even know why he agreed to fight in the Super-Six. If you look at it, the only convincing win he had in years going into Super-Six was beating Jeff Lacy. But then again, it's ****ing Jeff Lacy.

Facing AA after a K.O loss was not a good decision, he hit even harder than pav. I would not like to see JT fight again, his brain could be in danger.

I want to see Pavlik Martinez 2.Kelly was coming on strong before the 2nd cut,and had taken many rds.
