    You do !?!?

    The first Pavlik Taylor fight was great fun, and I agree Jermain was clearly prepared going in. That second round was the closest Taylor has ever come to stopping a live opponent, but in hindsight it's no surprise at all that he punched himself out in the process. Still, a lot of refs would have waved that one off, and noone could've complained about it. I actually may have scored the rematch for Taylor as well honestly, but he knew that he couldn't afford to take the same chances and only fought in short spurts. He was so much better to watch than Pavlik when he threw punches, it's a shame he didn't have a better engine.

    If I remember right Pavlik won the second fight, Taylor was coming strong but Pavlik landed a hard body shot and the fight went from Taylor and he went in survival mode aiming to make it to the decision.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I just remember Jermain Taylor allowing himself to get out of shape between bouts, he liked to party a bit or so rumor had it. He had been in 2 very scrappy matches vs Hopkins and I just think had Taylor not gotten sidetracked he would have lasted longer as champion and as a fighter.

    Taylor looked much better vs Pavlik in the rematch I think we can all agree on that.

    I want Pavlik-Abraham because it is a grudge match, they do not like each other and I think AA will hurt Kelly bad.

    I thought Kelly won the second Taylor fight by a few rounds.
    The fight i would like Kelly to get is against Abraham, if Pavlik
    can get back to something resembling his old form he would
    kick his ass.

    Did not know about the bad blood between AA and Pavlik. I would support Pavlik, hate AA style.
