Hopkins Wright Ouma Spinks all good boxers but none of them are punches by any means it will be interesting to see how Taylor reacts to Pavliks bombs.
LOL I just answered this in the other thread ;D
No he hasnt met a big hitter . When you look down his record , he has done pretty well to get this far without having to face someone dangerous .
I hope Kelly beats him by K.O and puts an end to this boring reign .
Yea lol i just replied to you anyway yea i respected Taylor a while ago but jeez its getting a bit silly lately with all these gifts i hear people saying opponents he has had have made him look bad but im wondering what type of opponent actually makes him look good ???Quote:

Thats why Jermain will never be in a good fight . If he cant impose himself on smaller welterweights who run or guys that declare war on him then whats it guna take ? Jermianes era has been one of the worst in middleweight history in terms of excitememt . The two fights with Hopkins were debatable . The Winky fight was close but the Spinks fight was the biggest robbery of them all . That was just a travesty and as much as I think Spinks is a boring fighter , I reckon he should get another chance after thatQuote:

Hopkins was a very capable puncher, he had much crisper punches than Pavlik does, who's to say he didn't actually hit harder?.. Unless of course you've taken his shot and can say he doesn't pack a hell of a shot I don't see what reason there is to call him a light puncher..
Hopkins has respectable power he isn't hard hitter at all and even if he was some big puncher he didn't let Taylor know about it because Taylor never had his chin tested agaisnt Hopkins i think Pavlik constant pressure will give Taylor problems plus it will be interesting to see how Taylor takes a good whack off a power puncher like Pavlik.Quote:

I honestly reckon he wont want any part of a heavy puncher. However i think he will struggle much more with a high volume puncher ala Joe Calzaghe. Be interesting to see how he will cope against a high volume power puncher like Pavlik. I see him crumbling so long as Pavlik fights the same way he did against Miranda. I don't see Taylor discouraging him. Pavlik is going to be a big star.Quote:

He would probally be a considered heavy handed as a 168.
