    I don't think his moving up in weight has anything to do with anything except that he has too much trouble making 160. Pavlik also has trouble and will more than likely move up to 168 after this fight as well, so there may be a rematch at 168.

    I think Taylor has it in him, somewhere --- *somewhere* --- to rise to the occasion and win against Pavlik in emphatic fashion. I hope. Because damnit, I like the guy, and I want to continue to like him.

    the thing is tho...

    i think people are beginning to UNDERESTIMATE taylors abilities due to his previous performances.

    however, oppositions weight or not he has fought extremely talented fighters with different styles.

    i feel like pavlik for the most part has to be set throw power to his full potential.

    i think taylor will take a page out of the wright fight and keep the fight in the middle of the ring and show more movement.

    i just dont feel like taylor will lose...i would imagine a score like 116-112 for taylor...probably no ko tho

    Taylor will do fine at 168 his frame will carry into that weightclass.

    He is going to SMW because the money is there. The money are where the three biggest names in MW and SMW are and since two of them cannot fight at MW, the only way to get the three in the same division would be for Taylor to fight at SMW.

    Apart from that it is a natural thing for Taylor.

    Remember that Taylor is as tall as both Calzaghe and Kessler, and has longer reach than both!

    the hate for Taylor on this board is blindly incredible

    hes going to fight Pavlik like so many wanted, then says hes going to move up to supermiddle after this fight and ya'llz saying its a preemptive excuse...pathetic.

    Also some FYI Pavlik isnt going to stay at 160 for long either.

    Another thing Taylor been talking about moving up before Pavlik even roamed the earth or was on anybodies radar. You talk about dumb crap talking. By the way Taylors speed and jab will set him free on the wide open jaw of the slow power punching pavlik..:bbb
