I hope he hasn't taken the time off completely. He needed to work on his stamina. That is a LONG TERM undertaking. I think he came back MUCH better in the second Pavlik fight. It's up to him to see how deep he can dig....
Hopefully he gets a shot at calzaghe. He was much more impressive with his 2 wins over a younger hopkins than calzaghe when he was older. Calzaghe vs. Taylor, I'd pick Taylor.
