If Pavlik, My Opinion, When Pavlik Beats Taylor What Is His Next Option? Also For Taylor, Who Should He Get Next?
IF Taylor takes the Pavlik fight and Pavlik wins, why not go after the winner of B-hop/Winky? Pavlik vs. either of those guys is a megafight at 160, especially if Kelly can ko Taylor.
IF Pavlik wins?? Count on it - he's gonna starch that shaky-chinned HBO hype job so quick, they won't have a chance to get him another GIFT DECISION!!!! :yep
Yeah he's moving up to 168. I think there he will face a fringe contender and then Kessler-Calzaghe winner.
If Pavlik wins I too would like to see him fight Abraham. As for Taylor, if he loses, then maybe we'll see him be more willing to fight the tough opposition ( Miranda, Calzaghe ) that people have been wanting to see him fight in the first place, and maybe we'll actually see him try to win convincingly. Some times a fighter needs to lose in order for them to want to make a significant mark on the sport again.
I don't give Kelly much chance against Taylor, and even less chance against Calzaghe or Kessler. He fought well against Miranda, but Miranda has NEVER impressed me.
The things that lead me to favor Pavlik over Taylor are... Taylor has looked more and more beatable every fight His chin is still a question mark Taylor's left hand held low may be inviting Pavlik's right hand Taylor wasn't throwing punches against Spinks and that could be a bad move against Pavlik If Taylor slugs with Pavlik, he gets KO'd Pavlik seems hungrier at the moment
:good Pavlik is gonna lay the heavyhand on Taylor. But you gotta admire Taylor for not being afraid of a fighter that will, more than likely, take him out.
