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.
