Also, Taylor has got to be given credit. Hate him for what he's done in the ring, but Miranda didn't deserve a shot at Taylor anymore then Mora did and I said that before the Pavlik bout too.

Taylor REALLY impressed me when he went against what his manager wanted for him and took a fight with Winky. As much as that fight made me lose sleep, that was a cool thing for Taylor to do and outside the ring I absolutely love the guy. And I think this could be SUCH a big fight if it was marketed correctly and on network TV, it just makes me sad that it will end up an HBO footnote like Taylor - Wright.

The whiteboy from Youngstown, Ohio who does nothing but get in the ring and fight like a throwback fighter would versus the Arkansas born Olympian who rides ATVs and enters to Lynyrd Skynyrd. I mean it's just such a compelling matchup in the ring and out, yet most won't know about it.

Pavlik could be a legitimate great white hope, but he won't be because the fight will probably be stuck on HBO. If there was one fight I could put on ABC out of all the fights this year, it would be this.
