And it seems to me that Manny's advice to JT in the 7th to go out and trade shots with pavlik instead of boxing him was a critical error in judgement on Mannys part. The only reason I could think of that manny would or should have told him that is if manny knew JT was spent and one way or the other the 7th would be his last round, either he ko'ed pavlik or he was getting ko'ed by pavlik, maybe manny understood this entering the 7th before anyone else did, if so I guess he was giving JT the only advice he could which is either knock him out or get knocked out.
He's just not destructive enough to work with Manny.
That could be a factor Jim!
Think of all Stewards famed subordinates:
I'm gonna take Herans and McClellan as my two outstanding examples. These guys wanted KO's and they were willing to work, take punches and walk thru hell in their attempts at glory.
Taylor altho still a good boxer in my book, is of a different mindframe, more of a pacifist i guess. I think jim is right.
