How will Pavlik do against Taylor?

Off hius showing against "Pantera," and his 90% KO percentage, I have to give him a solid shot at beating the somewhat mechanical JT. Pavlik is no Spinks. He is the real McCoy!

Taylor seems to be getting worse the more time he spends with Manny.

I fancy any of the main guys Pavlick, Calzaghe, Winky etc to beat him handily if they fight

After watching the Miranda destruction and watching Taylor tonight, I see Pavlik beating Taylor like a step child too.

Fudge Taylor.

manny steward is a counter puncher bias trainer. he doesnt like pacman coz he's not a counter puncher and said that if he was pacmans trainer hed make pac a counter puncher. he did convert taylor to a counter puncher and didnt do much tonight against spinks

Pavlik by KO Its another spanking in the making!

That all depends on how they both show.

Personally...I think that the Taylor that fought Ouma & Spinks would lose.

The Taylor of 3-4 years ago would beat Pavlik...but if Taylor doesn't get back to the point...he's not going to fair to well.

I think Pavlik needs about three or four more fights against solid opposition, Taylor fights down to his competition.. Taylor is better than most people think!

I do not think he is getting worse I think he is getting confused. He is a great adjustment fighter. He has a great adjustment ability which some great fighters have. Guys like McCallum and Toney have it also. It is the ability to adjust in the ring to a style and do well in the adjustment. just being that skilled to do that is a great asset. Odd thing is usually these adjustment type fighters lose to a good boxer, but not a puncher. I think Taylor jabbing like Manny wants is not going to come naturally so he is told to do that in the gym and in the fight he does not do it as much, and then Manny gets angry. Fact is it does not matter who is in his corner. He will do fine as long as he has a good conditioner and someone decent in the corner. Manny yelled too much tonight. he should calm down. I think Manny should decide if he wants to do that HBO nonsense and be one of the commentators or concentrate on being a trainer. I think if Pavlik fought Taylor it is a different ballgame for Pavlik than Miranda. The level goes way up. Remember this, if Pavlik throws alot of punches it opens him up to the Taylor counters, and a guy who beats Winky and Bernard is not going to be wiped out easily by a guy like Pavlik. Taylor is a very quick fighter and it might look like Pavlik would win ,but I assure you if they fought Pavlik will have trouble with the speed of Taylor's punches, especially his right hand.
