This is where I disagree.

From a fans standpoint, absolutely Pavlik earned his shot, he won the damn eliminator.  Pavlik is exciting.

But from the standpoint of JT himself, he has come off of horrible performances and needs to be thinking about his future.
Pavlik would make him look bad and possibly beat him,  from JT's standpoint he needs a fight where he looks good to
improve his marketability and thus earn more money.  If he looks bad against Pavlik, loses to him or even worse gets
another gift decision, he's done......he has no more pulling power financially.
I reckon if Taylor put his head down, took the approach of this is a the biggest threat at middleweight for me and truely work, i think he would win. Kellys got the power but if Taylor works we know hes very gifted and i think it would be a good win for him. I hope he doesnt go down the bore fest route in the long run it wont be entertaining but what can i do ? im just a fan
