"I think it's a great fight. I love Pavlik. He's earned the shot," DiBella said. "The winner of Pavlik-Miranda deserved the shot. Pavlik went in there and proved it decisively. He is the legitimate No. 1 contender. He's the best middleweight who is not the champion and he deserves the shot, and Jermain wants to fight him. Jermain is pumped for the fight.

Nice. This is the first time that DiBella has opened his mouf with something that I totally agreed with.

Honestly…all though I am & have been disgusted with Taylor of late…a win over Pavlik could rejuvenate our Current Middleweight Champ’s career.

If you stop & think about it open headedly…if Taylor get’s up for this fight & has his head & heart into it…he could probably handle Pavlik. Miranda was a very VERY limited boxer…sure he had power & all that crap…but if Taylor get’s his game up…he could outbox Pavlik.

If Taylor continues to stagnate as he has over the last two years…I’d love to see a changing of the guard.
