    For giving credit to the Pavlik win and not making any excuses.

    No excuses... just the plain truth. I give him props for that.

    Taylor's conditioning seems to haunt him fight after fight.. I'm sure he earned back a lot of respect though for being able to put Pavlik on the canvas.

    I thought it was going to be a lot more one-sided and Pavlik was going to destroy him.

    Taylor hurt him and made it competitive.

    Taylor is a great boxer and person I don't get why some people don't like him. I was really impresed with Pavlik's power and heart

    Taylor showed much more heart and skill then he did in his last 2 fights. He showed more class afterwords too.

    Was very disrespectful of Kelly and his skill before the fight though. Makes it much harder to explain getting KTFO by such an "ordinary" fighter. Hopefully he'll learn to respect his opponents more.

    Looking forward to the rematch :bbb

    I think the main reason people weren't respecting him was after the Spinks fight when he was an arrogance ass in his post fight interview. Hopefully this will bring back his fire.

    Taylor really impressed me in that fight, and he reacted like a man at the end, my favourite fight of the year thus far. Pavlik was a ****in legend tonight.

    I agree that he if he had a brain, he would've finished. However, he doesn't have to go for broke. He's missing uppercuts and body shots. He needed to work the body before working upstairs when Pavlik was hurt.

    much respect for taylor. i predicted pavlik to win, but taylor had me shitting my pants in the 2nd! taylor got caught with a very good punch, aside from that he was making a good fight out of it, and was winning up to the point of the stoppage. taylor's got fast hands and stinging punches we should'nt write him off right away. it's kinda sad a nice guy and a gentleman got KO'ed. anyway congratulations to the new MW champ kelly pavlik. i'm a miranda fan, and i was writing the guy off back when they fought, but his last 2 fight have shown me that he is the real deal.

    Is Taylor a real black man, for showing class and giving credit and respect to Pavlik after the fight? Do you think better of him for that? Or would you rather he cry and throw all of his toys out of the cot like a Zab Judah?

    :hat
