Thread: Kelly Pavlik vs Jermain Taylor Who Wins ??

??

Pavlik 7-9th round knockout.

i see JT pulling this one out, SD

Pavlick UD on workrate alone

Taylor has all the tools, but he has no heart and no desire, he wouldn't be able to go missing all night against a come forward pressure fighter like Pavlick.

Depends. If this is in Taylor's hometown, I think that even if Pavlik knocked him out...they'd find a way to give Taylor the decision.

Lol yea Taylor certainly has had judges on his side lately really and truthfully he could of been 0-4.

Pavlik wins hands down. If Taylor runs, he's loses the decision. If he stays in the pocket, he gets beat the eff up.

Like your way of thinking agreed

Very hard to pick. Depends if all the hype about Taylor a couple of years back was true or not, but this fight would certainly let us know. I rate Pavlik highly, he has good technique and power, Taylor would have to be the P4P fighter he thinks he is to beat him, even then it should be close as Pavlik has shown us he take a good shot as well.

I would pick Pavlik by late TKO but this could be a fight where Taylor steps it up and does the buisness.

If he wakes up from his coma he will because thats the way he has been fighting lately

Pavlik's work rate earns him a UD

Pavlik is a monster, Taylor should steer well clear of him and duck him as long as possible.
Pavlik would destroy him by the middle rounds.

You can tell why HBO wants this fight. They have invested alot in Taylor as they saw him as the future of boxing. Now he's no longer a big draw, they're planning a fight against the man that is. The fight will either relaunch Taylor or further enhance the reputation of their new star. If Calzaghe beat Taylor, it does nothing for them but destroy their own star and create mild interest in a 35 year old Welshman who would be soon retiring.
