i honestly thought with his comments after the spinks fight he would duck pavlik. i was so certain of it at the time but it seems like he is going to fight him. I had thought after his fights with hopkinsx2 and winky, that he was looking for easy fights, and that was against ouma and spinks but props to him for taking on pavlik im well up for this fight
Taylor might be lucky at times but he has balls you don't fight the Old ******* twice then WW if you lack the balls to make the big fights even his "easy" fights have came against former world champs albeit in lower weight divisions
Yes, Bigtime props to Taylor. With Calzaghe negotiating with Kessler, he's got nowhere else to go but to fight Pavlik. Believe me, if there was another decent Middlewt. out there for him to fight, without the boxing public screaming that he's ducking Kelly, he'd take that fight in a heartbeat. He's cornered. :yep
Kind of a shame that champions fighting their top contenders is so unusual that we actually have to give special proper respect to those that do. But this will be a great fight, and I believe Taylor will prevail.
Taylor is dumb as ****. He doesn't know what to do or listen to someone who does. He has **** for brains... ...but big mother ****ing cajones! FACT - every man Taylor has been a champion at some point. Pavlik will actually be his first non champ BUT he is the consensus number 1 now that Wright is going to 170.
I think it's going to be more like "Pavlik was green when he lost to Taylor the first time..Pavlik by KO in the rematch!!"
This isn't posted on any credible site yet. Hell it's not even on boxrec and they jump the gun the minute someone even mentions the possibility of a fight going down
Actually, Taylor deserves props for all the recent competition he has had. The problem is the way he wins, and for that he deserves none.
