The cool thing about Pavlik/Taylor 1 was that it encapsulated so many aspects of boxing.

Undefeated champion vs Underfeated challenger

Established star vs little known blue collar kid

Legendary trainer vs unknown trainer

World class experience vs world class hunger

First 3 rounds = pier six brawl

Rounds 4 and 5 = tactical boxing match

Rounds 6 and 7 = ass whoopin'

How many of you guys are aware that Jermain Taylor and Kelly Pavlik are two of only five men in history who won the true middleweight championship while still undefeated?

Pavlik/Taylor 2 was not as sensational, but both men actually fought a smarter and tactically better fight. How many of you ever stopped to think about the fact that Pavlik is the only man who ever out pointed Taylor, and KP did it while JT was still pretty near his peak?

So you going to ignored that Pavlik tko a weight drain Taylor in the first fight but yet when Martinez spank Pavlik, you make all excuses in the world. <<<Do i smell a double standard from you??????
