STFU. If Kessler and Calzaghe can put on this kind of performance then maybe they can claim to be boxing elites. Until then, there watered down bull**** resumes and there bull**** fans can suck a dick.

Pavlik was VERY close to getting knocked out in the 2nd last night.

What would the Taylor haters and the Pavlik Nuthuggers be saying now if Taylor had been a bit more clinical in finishing Pavlik off right there and then?

While he won in impressive style and showed his awesome power, the guy is way too predictable and one-dimensional to be truely world class. If Taylor got his head together mentally and got a rematch I wouldn't be surprised to see Taylor win a decision next time.

Sometimes it's a VERY fine line between winning and losing as was shown in this fight.

All of these things you cited are very much important in winning a fight, we can even call it "killers instinct" if you want, but even if we have a rematch, and that "killer instinct" doesnt show up..we might have the same result. Mental or physical..its all a part of it. not just raw talent.

Words of reason in what seems like a sea of madness.

Pavlik and Taylor came close do losing and did lose. They certainly showed flaws BUT in doing so elevated themself. A tough fight is generally going to win over a lot of people. Taylor has the respect he wants by losing. Twisted but thats boxing.
