As much as I dislike Taylor, I think people are writing him off way too quickly. Although I think he lost to Wright and maybe to Hopkins, he fought them well enough to get the nod from the judges. They weren't robberies along the lines of Quartey - Forrest either.
He might have looked like shit against Spinks and I don't think he ever really took Ouma as a serious threat, but he's got a fighter in Pavlik against whom he has the opportunity to display his superior technical skills.
