why is taylor fighting pavlik for no titles?

[RP33]

I'll save a place for all the haters on the JT bandwagon when he does pavlick in in the rematch.

Call me stupid but i pick Taylor to win.

So, i'll drive the bandwagon with you

[Pugilistic]

pavlik will win the rematch

[donnydarkoIRL]

I'm going for Taylor. This is his last chance for me.

[El Kabong]

Last chance? So he would have 2 losses and he should retire?


Do you know how many all-time great fighters have more than 2 losses on their records? RAY FUCKING ROBINSON had more than 2 losses....ALI had more than 2 losses!!!


Anyone who thinks Jermain Taylor is finished with boxing EVEN IF HE DID LOSE TO PAVLIK is a fucking moron....I'm sorry to put it that bluntly but I'm sick of hearing this shit....I'm not trying to say JT is the greatest of all-time but he deserves some respect!

Jermain Taylor killed himself making 160 (as has Pavlik) but I think with his size he can move all the way up to 175 if need be. Can't people just accept the fact that it was a good fight and give both fighters respect no matter who they are a fan of? And hell you have to give it to Jermain he's not backing down he is getting a rematch and props to Pavlik to giving it to him.

Yes, I do believe this is his last chance with the mainstream media. Taylor has only 12 loss but his fights leading upto the Pavlik fight were as detrimental to his appeal as losses to other fighters. In fact winning as he did against Spinks didn't draw near as much credit as a loss against Pavlik did. So yes, I feel this is a win is necessitated to fulfil his potential and become one of the most popular fighters in the world.

See basically and post I've made in a JT vs. Pavlik 2 thread. I'm going for Jermaine and I sincerely hope he pulls it off.

I think what they mean is if he's owned again by Pavlik, his stock with the elite might not be recoverable. If he loses in a close fight that goes late on, and shows some improvement at the new weight, he'll still have a future with the elite. If he wins of course he'll rocket higher up than when he was before the first fight.

Haven't seen the first couple of pages so it may have been answered, but they're fighting for no titles so Jermain can command the same purse as Pavlik rather than a challengers purse, also they're at a higher weight than the titles Pavclik owns..

[donnydarkoIRL]

Spot on there Bomp.

[SEANIE]

if taylor does win, and because this is a nontitle bout, will we see a trilog?

and why is this a non title fight, is he fighting for respect, revenge, p4p status?

They dont need a title. and plus a certain MR CALZAGHE seems to have all the titles and neither of these two want to go anywhere near him.

A couple questions:

#1 Why all the hate on Jermain Taylor?

#2 Did anyone miss the second round of the first fight?


And now a statement, Pavlik will more than likely move to 168 as well seeing how he's having trouble making weight also

I agree Lyle, Pavlik was made to look silly in the 2nd round....he was outclassed .

Credit to Pavlik for pulling it round and getting the KO but i honestly can't see him sparking JT again.

I think JT will box more cautiously this time round and sneak a UD.

Pavlik did look silly; trying to make giggly faces. JT looked even sillier not being able to finish Pavlik off with a freebie given to him. Notice how he never even came close to putting Pavlik down again. Oh that's right, he was weight drained. Well, it will be interesting to see how he approaches the rematch with the only guy to put him and keep him down. He'll freeze up and get lit up again.

That's not true. Later in the round, Taylor landed a right hand that sent Pavlik flying all the way across the ring.
Just give Pavlik credit where credit is due.
