    He wouldve knocked out Hopkins and more than likely finished off Kelly Pavlik when given the opportunity.

    Also he stopped hooking off the jab --

    What do you guys think?

    I think that if I were as big as Shaq, could shoot like Bird, had the quickness and court awareness of prime Stockton and the moves and mind of Jordan, that I would be in the NBA right now averaging 100 pts a game and OWNING everyone. Definitely. I'd be ****ING AWESOME. No one would stop me and you can't deny this.

    Don't talk about uppercuts and Kelly Pavlik. Kelly seems to think that you're suppose to catch uppercuts with your ****ing chin!!!! So far I've never seen him hurt by one even though he caught some hellacious shots from both Miranda and Zertuche. If Taylor would have caught him with 2 or 3 uppercuts in round 2 of fight 1, it would have been OVAAAAAHH!

    When he had Hopkins hurt ... if he wouldve brought something up the middle - he wouldve at least knocked him down and possibly knocked him out.

    The same with Pavlik --

    if if if

    if he had more skill

    if he had more stamina

    if he had more dedication

    he'd still be undefeated

    Having it doesn't mean he'd have used it effectively or at the right time or even landed it to win.

    He has a a good punch, but look at how madly he missed hitting air when Pavlik was hurt.

    Taylor does have an uppercut, look at the Ouma fight.

    and Hopkins doesnt ever get knocked out.

    I agree ... but you would think if he had it he wouldve used it ... especially when his corner told him to throw something up the middle.

    I think an uppercut wouldve finished him off ... especially followed by a left hook ...
