Jermain's latest "Bad Decision" - an immediate Pavlik rematch - could ruin his career

What is your IQ like 90? Did I even MAKE a prediction about the fight? NO. I said YOU are a dumb ass for saying there's no way Taylor can win when he almost knocked Pavlik out in the first fight. Think about it. You're being really really dumb.

 

taylor did not "get caught" john tate got caught by mike weaver. getting caught implies that an unexpected punch landed. pavlik was nailing taylor with that right hand all night long.

 

i'm no particular fan of either but the way some of the pavlik huggers are talking you would have thought the fight was a one sided blowout.maybe i was missing something but it seemed a pretty even match to me,with admitedlly pavlik probably getting stronger.i'd only seen pavlik against miranda before the taylor fight but i like the kid,big,strong and determined and obviously the kind of fighter you have to nail to the floor if you get him hurt because he's going to just keep coming back at you.taylor i thought got a bad deal from people after his 2 wins against hopkins but since then he had stunk the place out.however against pavlik i thought it was the best he'd looked since winning the title.at least he was positive and aggresive and looked like a genuine fighting man in there.if he can improve his stamina issues then i think the return is virtually 50/50.it is strange however that even though taylor is showing a great desire to get back in there to win his title back he's being dissed by some as a fool for trying.if he showed no inclination to do so he would be getting crucified as a ducker.sometimes you just can't win.

 

i seriously doubt it would ruin his carreer, even if his does manage to lose again... it wont be an easy loss, and he can still beat the other 99% of the middleweights out there, and majority of the super mid's

 

i disagree. this is exactly the type of fight that can ruin a young fighter. yes it was a very competitive fight. not a blowout by any means. but although taylor was winning the fight, he was also the one taking the most damage. i compare it to some extent to chavez v meldrick one fighter looking better, but the other just doing much more damage. imo they could fight 10 times, and pavlik would win 9. that is just the way i see the matchup. taylors style is tailor made for pavlik.

every fighter has his poison. and pavlik is simply taylors poison.

 

Paul great piece of analysis as always... I think if Taylor doesnt get Ko'ed hell just try to survive and at the end of the night FINALLY come up short on the cards, but youre right on the money when you say that: Taylor will never beat Pavlik as a professional, at any weight, i think especially so at 166, the added weight just favors Pavlik so i dont see how thats gonna effect anything.
Also, im glad you pointed out that Pavlik was hotdoggin in the second and he dropped his hands ala Winky-Mosley II (No Taylor fans ever wanna admit that)
Anyways keep up the good work!:thumbsup

 

i dont dissagree that pavlik can beat taylor.. but he can still beat sturm in my opinion, he can still beat abraham, feel me?

so lets say who loses to pavlik again... if after his fight, he has some convincing wins over some fighters like duddy, or wright (although i dont wanna see that again).. then he gets a title shot with abraham, takes his title.. moves on too sturm, takes his title.. then his career would be relevant again, and i'd say his chances of beatin pavlik is 1 outta 3.. so goin by that, lucc might be on his side this time..

well all that's wishful thinkin, although i'm not a big taylor fan.. i just dont think you can count out a fighter like him, feel me?

 

I dont think he was hotdogging, fighters like to stick out there tongue or smile when they get hit hard to make it seem like they didnt get hurt, but taylor hurt kelly, kelly stuck his tongue out, then taylor caught him again and put him down with the follow up. kelly himself said taylor hits like a mule, he respects the power, it wasnt a lucky shot. i agree with everyone that says the rematch is 50/50, because i think theres more room to improve in the next fight for jermain.

 

Not saying he hits harder than Pavlik, but it was pretty obvious Taylor was going to land bigger and harder clean shots on Pavlik's chin than on Cory's due to styles. Maybe that has something to do with why he couldn't KO Cory, Cory is harder to hit with shots like that.

 

Yeah but thats not saying much really, dem guys are regional fighters content with fighting scrubs and not actually wanting to fight an elite fighter.

 

So basically by everyone gathering...Pavlik can beat EVERYBODY he get in the ring with...

Let run down the people Pavlik can beat from 160-175:

Hopkins
Taylor
Abraham
Sturm
Calzaghe
Kessler
Bute
Lee
Lorenzo
Griffin
Lacy
Dawson
Green
Wright
Trindad
Jones
Tarver
Adiancu
Froch


Yes he can beat them all because all his fans say so, plus he the best boxer in the world as well as the hardest puncher in boxing.

Why should Pavlik even continue to box since no one on that list stands a chance against hjim, I mean according to the judges, he completely slaughter Taylor and kept Taylor from winning any rounds in their fight.


Pavlik is GOD!!!

 

Finally you are starting to see the truth.
