Whatever the ex-champ wants. He stipulated in the contract a non-title bout @ 166 for a rematch in the event he lost. Well, he sure did lose. So his wish shall be granted & this time even more pain & suffering will be involved.
Taylor has been saying for a long time that he'll move to Super Middleweight. Pavlik said before the Taylor fight that he would more to Super Middleweight soon because he was outweighing the division. But I would prefer the fight to be at 160.
166 because who really cares. I really don't care about the belts just them two fighting again. If Taylor thinks he can do better at that weight then let's take his word for it.
At 166, Taylor will be at his peak to assassinate that useless carnival act from Ohio....does he really think he can compete!!! Hey Asslik, this isn't an Ecuardorian you are fighting to pad your record, this is a former 2000 Bronse Olympian that was owning you in the first fight before your lucky punch and corrupt referee help you steal his "0" Can't wait until Feb !!!
Yeah, that carnival act from Ohio who happens to be 32-0 with 29 knockouts. He also holds wins over Taylor, Miranda, Zuniga, Zertuche, and McKart (knockout wins by the way). You have no credibility when it comes to discussing Kelly Pavlik as it is clear you simply have a strong dislike for the guy. At 166, Pavlik would do even better. He has a naturally bigger frame and he is more likely to adjust.
I go for 166 too - and they both need to get used to the higher weight class, if they wanna best with SMWers. Like Chicago said, they have both trouble making weight, and are to my knowledge both considered big MWs.
166, because although I like Taylor, it is Pavlik's time to rule the Middleweight division. I've seen Pavlik fight at 168, and he looked even better than he did at 160. He seems to carry the weight well. He hurt tomato cans at 168 quicker than he hurt tomato cans at 160. Jermain, on the other hand, will gain some power at 166, but will gas out even quicker with 6 extra pounds.
