You know, JT has gotten alot of heat that is really undeserved becuause he did win those fights, but he did not do it by KO so no one wants to accept it. If you think JT didnt win all those fights, dont blame him, blame the judges, as for JT, he did his job, he went into the ring and fought and faced whoever got put in front of him like a champ should do. He gladly wanted the rematch with hopkins, he gladly wanted the fight with Winky, he even told winky he'd fight him again but winky declined. Now say what you want, but taylor beat pretty hard on wink in that fight, winks says he dont want to fight JT because he'll just get ripped off again, but I think he felt JT's power and knew that he might get knocked out if he were to get back in for 12 more rounds.

Now onto the so called softer spoken pavlik. I like pavlik, he seems like a nice guy who respects his opponents, well so was JT and for the most part he still is. I'd get riled up in his situation way more than he does, I mean its got to be disheartening with all his hard work that no one seems to respect him or what hes accomplished, and most would agree that taylor is one of the nicest kindest guys to come along in boxing in a long time, so is pavlik but maybe kelly should take a closer look at the way JT's been treated and get a little meaner with everyone, afterall, taylor went the nice guy route and has received nothing but troubles and turmoil from the media and the fans because of it, I feel sorry for the guy, hes in a no win situation. Just remember, JT has always been respectful and soft spoken just like pavlik, I personally dont see how JT keeps his cool so much with everyone badgering him all the time, probabaly becasue he is a nice guy and they take advantage because they know his nature allows them to push and prod at him beyond the norm. Its a shame our society finally gets a champ who isnt or hasnt been in jail, doesnt do drugs or neglect his family, respects the hard working people who buy the tickets because he knows what it feels like to have nothing............yet the fans the media and society in general want to crucify the guy for being a standup hard working honest man. You guys want the truth, HBO promotes JT becasue of the way he is, becasue of the good things I mentioned, Since lennox Lewis, they've not had much to hang their hats on, most of them have been thugs that cant stay out of trouble, so there you have it, he is champ, he worked for it, he did not dodge anyone and even took the winky fight instead of an easier fight, hes respectful to everyone and all folks want to do is discredit his rep and stomp him in the ground, I tell ya, when you stop and think about the way JT gets treated by most its really shamefull. If they ever treat kelly pavlik that way it will be shamefull once more, neither one of them deserve to go thru that kind of crap
