    Kelly Pavlik needs a good trainer to take him to the next level. Lowe was great to take him where he did. Pavlik really does have the skills. He has good head movement, leans back after he throws and knows how to finish. he needs diff combinations and to throw lead rights vs Southpaws

    What a disgrace Hopkins Taylor 1 was. Hopkins was making history defending his belt for the 20th time/ Taylor landed 2 punches in round 12. The only judge that gave him that round was Duane Ford. Duane Ford is a spot on Judge. How he did that and it was legit seems impossible. If Ford gives Hopkins Round 12 which Taylor was barely standing after being rocked in round 11 the fight is a draw and Hopkins keeps his belt. Took away the title from a ATG to give it to an overhyped tomatoe can. Thanks for that Lou.

    Hopkins does that to people. Taylor looked so unconfident after the first fight with Hopkins you could tell that looking at the countown to hopkins-taylor 2 too.

    Klion22 has been talking out his ass about Taylor and Pavlik for years. The theory that Hopkins ruined either fighter is absurd.

    Did Taylor look like a shot fighter in either of the Pavlik fights? The second fight was one of JT's best performances ever.

    Four months after the Hopkins fight Pavlik was back in the ring doing exactly what he was suppose to do. Did Hopkins cause the illness, injury, and weight issues Pavlik has struggled with since then?

    Taylor beat Hopkins twice. Pavlik beat BHop's daddy twice. Furthermore, when Pavlik scored a clear UD over Taylor, he accomplished something Hopkins and Wright both failed to accomplish. Live with it!

    how anyone can say hopkins ruined taylor is really beyond me, this was the fight that announced taylor on the wrold stage.

    as for pavlik, hopkins did kind of demolish any p4p potential pavlik might have had.

    i do also agree that taylor hasnt really looked shot in his fights. vs pavlik 1 he had him out on his feet, vs pavlik 2 he fought a close fight, arguably a draw. vs froch he was clearly ahead. and vs abraham i had him win the first 6 rounds. although his recent fights have all ended in defeat, bar lacey, he has been competitive in them all.
