Taylors camp starting excuses early.

I like Taylor, but he's been spinning his wheels too long, time for a new champ, who actually likes to mix it up.

 

This doesnt suprise me. Steward had high words for Miranda, said hes a pretty good fighter and then came Pavlick and destroyed him but it was clear to see that Miranda had weight issues. Steward is afraid that it will be the same with Taylor, he could maybe make weight, but it would be hard for him and to risky against a guy like Pavlick, i think Steward is afraid of Pavlick so hes bringing already the excuses.

 

"We just can't make this weight anymore," James told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "We're not going to kill ourselves to make 260. This weight has been a problem for a long time. We've hired a nutritionist, done everything we can. I'm not going to make this anymore. It's time to move up."

James Toney

 

lillarry- I get the catalog in the mail when a new one comes out, so unlessit's on the Everlast website, probably not. I will give it to Taylor- I've always wondered how he makes 160- Look at the tale of the tape for his fights- even against Hopkins- Taylor has an enormous neck and big arms and legs. Light heavy proportions and measurements. How he hits like a middleweight Pernell Whitaker, I don't know. He should be hitting like a mule! Reason #36 I have no respect for the guy. (by the way, reason #35 is him allowing himself to be bossed around by undersized, underpowered, underskilled, and underpaid Kassim Ouma) If you're a guy that big with that kind of reach, learn how to back someone up or at least off with a jab! For as much respect as I have for Manny Steward, he hasn't done much for capitalizing on Taylor's natural gifts.

 

Taylor by UD. Pavlik isn't ready for someone as good as Taylor.

 

Don't mistake being tough for being good. Taylor is a tough guy. He has no ring smarts at all. None. He is a big physical presence in the ring, but I don't see much skill, no power, and no ring intelligence. That would be due to the fact that he is not a student of the game. Not saying Pavlik is some savvy ring technician, but Taylor is just a big middleweight who has used his size. How he beat Hopkins (only the second time, in my opinion) I don't know. I blame Hopkins more for his lack of action than Taylor's "superiority".

 

Whats so good about him?

Pavlik by TKO. Taylor's goose is cooked.

 

Man, you took the words right out of my mouth. :good

Great post, Newbie!

 

He's better than Kelly.:yep
He has a great jab and been in with the best Wright, Hopkins and Spinks.

 

People are underestimating Pavliks boxing skills.

He was a far better amatuer than Taylor. Taylor gets stopped in this fight, his chin got dented against Hopkins, who not a big puncher.

 

"He's better than Kelly." Tell me at exactly what is he better at?:huh Not boxing.

BTW, Kelly KO's those guys you mentioned, too.:bbb

Are you blind? Do you even watch these fights? Stop being so biased, will ya!

:-(

 

You are dreaming if you think Pavlik would KO Wright or Hopkins:rofl

 

Taylor couldnt touch Spinks who cant break an egg.

There goes your credibility.

 

Are you ****ing kidding me? No way in hell does he KO Hopkins and Winky schools his ass and gives him a boxing lesson. Start a poll buddy if you're so confident in your prediction of Kelly Koing Hopkins and Wright. Hopkins dropped Tarver a 175 pound champ who hits harder than Kelly does but Kelly will KO him???atsch Get the **** outta here you're too biased to have a real opinion on this fight just like the Adamek-Dawson fight.
