    I actually meant to say Pavlik, not Taylor (stupid typos get me every time...), but I would agree that Taylor's handspeed is better than Pavlik's, not to mention that Taylor is more educated as a boxer (Olympic history, long amateur career, etc.) and this might come in handy against a clever fighter like Calzaghe. But, like you, I don't see this fight ever happening considering Taylor's status now that he has lost twice against Pavlik and is still looking for a comeback match. I heard rumors about a match against Jeff Lacy...

    I heard the Lacy too. But Taylor won't fight Cal because Cal just doesn't have that many fights left.

    Taylor is going to get beat down by many SMW's, he hasn't got to worry about Calzaghe

    I have no love nor war with Kelly Pavlik. My feelings are neutral towards him.

    The jury should still be out on Pavlik. It could be his greatest assest is the ability to take that large frame of his and make middle weight so that he can fight men smaller than himself. You can't just walk everyone down everytime.

    At SMW, he'd be fighting guys his own size, guys with better footwork and defense. Kelly hit canvas by Taylor, Bronco McKart, and Zuniga -he's not exactly invincible. Somebody with decent pop and good movement should beat him-(Kessler, Calzaghe, Froch, Bute). OR somebody with as much pop and a harder head-(Abraham, Andrade maybe Lacy).

    I can't wait till Pavik takes on the super middleweights to put you Euro fools in place ones and far all:twisted: Anyone who thinks that Slappy Joe who was put down by old man Hopkins who was never a big puncher could stand up too The White Bob Foster is truly crazy:nut Here is a so called fighter who was put down by a non puncher Kabary Salem and Joe's gonna take it from the Ghost:lol: Byron Mitchell who is not half the banger Kelly is nearly had the English Muffin out of there:!:

    Kessler is so overrated. The difference between Kessler and Pavlik is heart, and the fact that Pavlik goes to the body.
