He looks dry enough but weights more than Taylor ( Pavlik 159.5 lbs, Taylor 159 lbs) whereas I can see a clear advantage in muscular thickness to Taylor... Kelly always was long muscled and looks may deceive but there is nothing resembling like a height or reach advantage to Kelly ( arm length - 27'' Taylor, 24 1/2'' Pavlik)... Back to the initial suggestion, Kelly may grow to 169, 170 pounds overnight but nothing like Cotto who looked smaller than Zab at the weigh-in and bigger than him at fightnight.
Boy, Pavlik is huge. Just compare their arm length, their torso, etc. It is kinda like Tito-Winky. I can not believe Taylor is struggling to make 160. He looks smaller than Winky, he also does not look bigger than Spinks and Ouma. Tito-Taylor should be a good match.
Yes I was going to say Cotto really dries himself out. That was the reason he got so chinny at 140, the weight loss was just killing him. So far hes ok at 47 though.
I can see why Taylor struggles to make 160, he's 6,1 or 6'2 and pretty densely muscled , It only going to get harder as he gets older. Pavlic on the other hand is built similar to Hopkins a very thin tall middle weight but strong.
That picture is somewhat deceiving. Look at the back of their necks. Taylor is standing straight up. Pavlik is leaning slightly forward.
Taylor looks ready to go, he also looks alot more muscular than Pavlik. I read someone say Pavlik arms look alot bigger, but I think it's the angle and even if so look at how much more muscular Taylor's arms are. His back and chest are very defined and cut compared to Pavlik who appears to look scrawny! Taylor by KO/TKO!!:bbb
In the weigh-in video, you clearly see Pavlik is the taller man, though not by much. Anyway, don't matter. Taylor still getting KO'd regardless. And yeah, he did look very tense. He was the first to break eye contact during the staredown.
Thats cool and i understand but everyone appreciates and misses you. So when/if you are ready, drop in as it will make ALL happy:happy. I know you realize that words in print sometimes come across the wrong way. There is not ONE person that is happy the way this turned out:verysad
