I kind of agree. Taylor showed too much early promise for him to look so bad in the last few fights he had*. Maybe the extra 8 pounds will help. However, if he beats Pavlik in a return there has to be a 3rd fight, thus keeping him busy for most of 2008 - by which time Joe will be almost as old as me

* I KNOW there are examples.
