    im suprised how many are going with pavlik by brutal fashion.

    i think this is down to jermains crappy performances rather than pavliks way.

    I cant wait.

    Really? I saw a poll on Yahoo Sports that included 13 sports writers and 10 picked Taylor including Dan Rafael and Kevin Iole.

    Taylor annoys me. If he wins A LOT credit needs to go to Manny Steward.

    Oh yeah, Taylor officially won against Hopkins and Wright but he should really think HBO and commentary crew for that along with Di Bella. Taylor looked like **** against Spinks bcuz he wasnt listening to Steward. Steward does his best training when his fighters are in trouble and I think if Taylor wins its bcuz Steward has finally gotten thru to Taylor's thick head.

    oh i do think taylor lost the 1st fight against hopkins and the wright fight, and i do think he looked awful against spinks.

    BUT if he makes the changes and blows out pavlik, then the man deserves his credit, simple as that. emanuel deserves credit as a good trainer, but its all down to taylor.

    Maybe im being hard on Taylor but I do wish Pavlik will avenge Hopkins. Taylor talks now like he's tough **** when before he was more humble. Still, the major question of this fight is can Steward make a gameplan for Taylor to beat Pavlik? Pavlik has stayed with the same trainer out of loyalty but not everybody can have a Wright/Birmingham or Marquez/Beristan kind of partnership.

    Thats right. There's no evidence that shows Taylor is due to be KO'd like people are saying. He could lose, but I think it's just hating on Taylor.

    This is a fight that I really really don't have a clue who I think is going to win. You usually favor one fighter to win but in this fight...I really don't know what to think. This is a VERY interesting fight and I'm really looking forward to a great hopefully FOTY candidate type of fight. May the best man win.
