I think it's going to be close but i see JT winning by either late stoppage or UD because he is the better athlete, he will finally listen to Steward's training, and he has faced better competition and will know how to handle the later rounds.
Are you trying to turn this thread into another one of your hate threads? :think You noticed how may posters reacted to your posts? :yep :good
Pavlik by KO/TKO round 8. Maybe a knock down a couple rounds early. But I think it will be a great fight and the old hungry JT will show in the early rounds and put on a good performance till he is KO'd.
Well three days to go and I'm all pumped up for this fight. :yep I have posted my opinion about three months ago and I'll post it again just for the records. Taylor has fought the better oppositions. And somehow irregardless how controverstial as some have pictured it out to be, he won and maintained his unbeaten record. Now Pav is a forward fighter with power in both hands, but he is not as sleek as Bhops or Spinks and he's not as defensive as Wright so I'm picking Taylor to win by points or K.O. A 50/50 fight though . . . if Pav can push back Taylor, hurt him early and continue to put Taylor beyond his comfort zone he could win. :yep :good
You know psychopath, when you lose the 6th months bet, I won't be that hard on you, because you aren't displaying any extreme apologism here. I had some nasty **** lined up also, but that'll not happen now, just something typical.
First comes a 'dish out crow' thread to every Taylor/Hype job apologising fan that underrates some of the best fighters in the world to push their flawed fighters. Second comes a final 'review' thread of the entire situation involving Jermain Taylor and the media overrating him from day 1 and also how it relates to locking some of the best talent out of potential glory, then how it ties to the circle jerking circuit in one final reviewing essay. Then we will go over true rankings and see how everyone feels, because if Pavlik blows this guy out, it says a lot about the current state of two former elite's in Hopkins and Wright IMO.
Why be hard on me. :think Did I ever tried to pull down or insult your boy? As I said before . . . I pick winners on every fight but that doesn't measn I hate the other fighter. Just the same . . . I won't be hard on you too despite your obsession to completely discredit Taylor on this board. You're acting like a possesed kid dude. :yep If you lose I'll wait for you to comeback after six months and let you dawn the banner and avatar I have prepared . . . that's all . . . no big deal. :good
If it were 'Nervouxtian' or 'Lance Uppercut' betting against me for six months with their extreme apologist logic, I'd leave them with something brutal, I can't stand either of those tools.
Well first off I'm not apologizing for Taylor. :yep If he lose and get his ass kicked by Palvik that simply means I chose the wrong winner. :good
And from my end, the entire Taylor hate train got out of hand due to the responses, I really don't hate him 'that' bad, I just feel he's simply very flawed and has been overrated but some of the debates have just been hysterical against these clowns who think they know a lot about boxing and attempt to be what they consider 'impartial' and 'objective'. If he wins, I'll actually give him props for defeating a big stylistic nemesis, then I'll be out of here, not like I couldn't benefit from wasting less time on here anyway.:yep
I know . . . I know that's why I rarely reply because I don't want to be dragged into it. Anyway . . . good luck to our fighters buddy! :good
Would Pavlik have any chance of beating Hopkins? No. But that's what Taylor did. Twice (albeit in very close fights). Pavlik is pedestrian and I'm convinced that Taylor will win this easily. Who has Pavlik fought? Miranda. Taylor has been in there with Hopkins and Wright, and is in another league to Pavlik. Have you guys even looked at Pavlik's record? This guy hasn't fought anyone even remotely in Taylor's league. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=15844&cat=boxer He's getting schooled.
