Taylor isn't gonna let Pavlik stalk him and load up for his right hand. And he has a better chin then Miranda better boxing skills, is faster and has better balance(for his lack of it) then Miranda does.

Point blank, Taylor will be the greatest fighter Pavlik has ever fought. The same cannot be said about Pavlik.


Whilst I agree that Taylor will fight Pavlik better than he has fought in his last few fights,I HIGHLY doubt it will be as easy as yo are making out. He has better balance than Miranda...so what? JT's balance is still woeful. And how does he have a better chin than Miranda,which punchers has JT fought?

JT's power at higher levels is questionable,he was constantly being backed up by the weak compared to Pavlik,Kassim Ouma and Winky. Pavlik is bigger,stronger and hits tonnes harder than them both. Pavlik is also fairly decent defensively,I don't know if people notice but although he gets hit,he knows how to smother shots too and he takes a few on the gloves.

And just because Taylor will be the the best fight Pavlik has fought and not the same for Taylor,what relevance does that have?> Styles make fights. Taylor's inactivity will cost him. Like I said,this isn't B Hop throwing 5 punches a round,or some blown up 154 pounder. This is the biggest strongest and baddest guy Taylor has fought.

It'll be far from easy for Kelly and JT will have his moments for sure but Kelly would win imo on points.
