    It has to be top 5.this is right up there with Hagler-Hearns in my book. Maybe better in terms of pure action and a guy just showing unbelievable guts. I thought Pavlik was gone in the 2nd. His head was on a swivel and got up dazed with half the round left. To come back and score a knockout after that is just the stuff of legend. There's a rematch clause, and I look forward to it. I could definitely see Taylor taking the rematch if he fights more relaxed. He seemed to get too anxious at times and waste punches.

    where do you guys see this as an all-time fight? I'm wanna watch it again.

    All time? He isn't close yet.

    Give him about 20 title defenses or a successful 168-175lb campaign and then we'll talk. :good

    They're talking about where the fight itself ranks as a Middleweight fight.

    I agree, Top 5. That lived up to the hype and more.

    Oh sorry haha. I'm tired at the moment.

    As far as the fight is concerned I don't think it's even in the top 10 to be honest. It was filled with action but the middle rounds were relatively tactical. It was no Castillo-Corrales.

    slow ass ******..get a ****ing clue......................anyway the fight was one of the best all time JT went out of character early and came at Pavlik..surprised the **** out of me...That **** was exciting. I was yelling at the TV..Like JT you are a ****ing ******..if a hurt man grabs you ...you dont wait for the ref to break you push his ass and follow up with a punch veteran style that would put the guy down and proabably...JT is just mentally handicapped like the above poster. :deal

    here is where i differ with a lot of people

    castillo-corrales was great, but those guys are tiny. these are big MWs throwing bombs at each other for 7 rds. the guy that looked out, comes back with a brutal KO

    Not as good as Hagler Hearns, but surely is in the top 5. Unless somebody can think of a better candidate, I'd put it at number 2.

    I have to say I found Pavlik v Miranda more exciting while watching live , but then again Sky weren't using the same camera angles as HBO that night and when I rewatched the fight on HBO it looked a lot more one sided .

    A very good fight , but no way was it fight of the year or top 5 all-time at middleweight .
