    I dont see why people dont respect Pavliks skill set when he outboxed Taylor and has one of the most deciplined jabs in boxing.

    A good jab is a skill. It's just not as aesthetically pleasing as other skills such as slipping/parrying punches, firing a quick combo and gettiig out. Fighting on the inside is also a skill, just not one I enjoy to watch as much.

    Maybe my cards are biased to favouring the styles I like. To agree with the question of the thread, I probably underate effectivness as do the majority of people.
