    Yeah, people respect Taylor wholesale after the Pavlik fight.

    Weird.

    True, but i'm really dumbing it down to the publics perception, and the three fights were massively recieved and the heart, skill and determination of both were lauded.

    holyfield. first mand to drop holy which made cooper a contender for 5 years even though he was totally outgunned in the end.

    my point was that he was still a name for a only a domestic level fighter.his attitude for fighting anyone was defintly noticed by even casual fans. but he was given fights which only world class operators could win.
