Kelly Pavlik is gonna get beat up. Bernard Hopkins has destroyed Kelly Pavlik, and i believe Jermaine Taylor will finish him off.
There is noone for him to fight right now at 168. Taylor wants American names. Thats it. Pavlik, Wright, Lacy, and to a certain extent Abraham after his win over Miranda. Those are the guys Taylor wants to fight.
It's my opinion as of now that Pavlik at 100% loses to the BHop that showed up on 10/18 -- 116-112 in a very good fight. You know full well, I already said that multiple times. NEWS FLASH: many people thought Hopkins was shot. Clearly he is not. It is always very dishonest on your part to try and claim Pavlik was at his best. Anyone with half a brain could see there was something wrong within 3 rounds. That's not the point anyway. The point is JT will never do any better against Pavlik than he already has. No reason for him to go into a fight he is almost guaranteed to lose.
Dont see how this is gonna happen when Taylors camp has been saying for a while that hes been struggling to make 160.
He just wants to beat Pavlik. Guarantee if he fights Pavlik & wins, he'll be out of the 160 division for good.
No ****! Remember before the firts Pavlik fight JT said he had no problems making weight and that he would be around at 160 for ahwile. Then he lost, and they fought the rematch at 166. Now he says he might go back to 160.:think
who is he going to fight at 160? He has already lost to Pavlik twice. Abraham said he wants a Pavlik fight then he is going to move up. Who would Taylor fight at 160?
