I thought Taylor looked just about at his best in his last fight, even considering it ended in a loss. He looked really sharp and had bad intentions, but he just got tired.
Agreed. Taylor looked fantastic & had Pavlik in some serious spots. Taylor's not so much damaged goods as he is mentally fwocked. I truthfully believe that he could work his issues out given some ample time & consideration.

The rematch should be a smoker.

Taylor looked awful against Spinks & Ouma, and he only looked good for the 1st 4 or 5rds in the PAvlik fight , then faded . I remember when he could fight 12rds and looked strong doing it.
If you'll look back...he was fighting blown up welters & light middles then too that were nowhere near the skill level of the last 5 or 6 men that he would face.

It makes all the difference in the world.
