Bhop and Wink never got hit that hard when they faced taylor, he never caught them clean like he did Pavlik, had he caught them it would have been lights out. JT or Pav could have KO'ed Bhop and Wink as neither have the Chins nor the Punching power that JT and Pavlik possess. Heres a fact, a Taylor/Pavlik fight will never ever go the 12 round distance, that was evident last night, one will KO the other before the 9th or 10th round every time, too much power between them, no way you get hit that hard that many times and someone dont go to sleep, both were scary impressive in the fight, I really dont see many middle or super middles that have the same power as these two, I think in 20 years we will look back and say that these are 2 of the best middle weights to ever grace the ring. I was gald the fight was on HBO, but would you pay to see the next one I would/will
Long Night Last Nightstill a little "FUZZY"
you can have a chin made of granite but if your heart is aching,you dont get up!Lets not get Carried Away ,Taylors legacy will be his Two Wins over hopkins.Thats it!HE couldnt ko Hopkins if he hit him with the stool,Taylor Is not a power puncher and in twenty years he'll be a trivia question.Pavlik has a tremendous chin and heart but IMO Very little actual "defense" .Taylor won my respect in defeat but I do not think he'll regain title,He appears "Shook" mentally
