With respect to Hearns....

Pavlik is the greatest middleweight puncher Arum has ever seen.

After Pavlik takes out Taylor who is a VERY GOOD fighter, the statement I made when I called Pavlik the closest thing to Tommy Hearns since Tommy Hearns, will look pretty ****in brilliant.

Taylor is hard as **** and I see him controlling the first portion of the fight with his jab, keeping the fight in the center of the ring.

The thing that people don't seem to realize though is that Pavlik is multi-dimensional, and while I don't think he could beat Taylor by merely staying in the center of the ring, he could definitely hang with him and win some rounds.

What seperates him though from just an ordinary boxer or even a slugger that likes to keep volume punchers from pinning him against the ropes is that Pavlik can bang, box, and throw.

The guy is a multi-dimensional fighter. He's a boxer/slugger/volume puncher hybrid.

He averages about 80 punches a round, ranks as one of the hardest hitting middleweights in history in my opinion, and has the height and reach to keep his opponents on the outside.

Along with all that, at least based on his interviews and how he performs in the ring, he is a very smart fighter, with an incredibly underrated body attack, (which is actually what I think wore down Miranda, WEIGHT DRAIN EXCUSES aside).

So yeah, like I was saying, Taylor will be successful in the beggining of the fight by keeping the fight in the center of the ring, but eventually he's going to get hit.

And when he does the question is, how will Taylor react?

Personally I think Taylor is hard as ****, so I think he'll go right at Pavlik. While Taylor could beat almost every other middleweight out there in a brawl, he can't beat Pavlik, no matter how hard he is.

Pavlik hits too hard, has a solid chin, and is just as determined as Taylor.

Pavlik by late rounds KO over a VERY GOOD, UNDERRATED, Jermaine Taylor.

 

Why do I give a **** about a fighter's resume?

Does that fighter pay me?

Does that fighter provide with bitches to ****?

Is that fighter gonna pay for my bus fares?

I don't give a **** about resumes. Do I look like a Floyd boy?

Anyway, this fight is gonna be SIZZLIN!

 

I still like Margo.

I would have loved to see how Floyd would react against a big, determined, relentless, volume punching welterweight with a punch and a great chin.

That is the perfect antidote for a guy that likes to keep the fight in the center of the ring, IF YOU CANNOT OUTBOX HIM.

Too bad Paul Williams came along though. The guy is a freak and while he throws 100 punches a round, I think his height, and reach, may allow him to outbox almost anyone, INCLUDING Floyd.

In fact, asside from power, which Paul Williams makes up for with speed and athleticism, Pavlik and Williams have a little bit in common.

Margarito isn't bad and would give anyone a run for their money in the welterweight division. I just didn't expect Paul Williams to be THAT GOOD.

You think Floyd can beat Paul Williams?

Because honestly, I would stay the HELL AWAY from that man more than ANY OTHER if I wanted to keep my record intact, if I was Floyd.

 

I don't know, would Hearns have knocked Zertuche out standing up?

And is your arrogant statement really that reasonable when you consider that Zertuche has NEVER ONCE been knocked down in his career?

And BTW, Pavlik did knock Zertuche the **** out, so uh.....maybe you oughta explain yourself a little better.

Thank you and Goodnight.

 

Fact is though, that nobody points out, Hearns lost every time he stepped up.

SRL, HAGLER, BARKLEY

So if you wanna play that game, let's play it.
