Anyway, no need to change my pick here because I am sticking with Kelly. Even if Taylor catches him early, he wont know what to do with him again. Kelly will get back up if he is caught and come back to stomp a mud hole in Taylors @ss and pound it dry.

Calzaghe would also beat the crap out of Taylor.

B-Hop has some unfinished business here with Taylor IMO.

Its nervous energy, people keep saying he needs Burns back and although i agree, Taylor has some problems that no trainer can fix, and only Taylor himself can fix. Take first Hopkins fight for example that was one of the most slowest paced fights you will see, yet he run out of steam due to his nervous energy Taylor has all the physical tools to be a great champion but he hasn't quite got the mentality to be great.

I agree Pavlik has that little extra reach in the jab, and he always catches Taylor on the counter. Taylor as soon as he throws the jab needs to move his feet otherwise he is going to get countered with Pavlik's solid left jab like he did last time. Plus it must be in the back of Taylor's head that he hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and couldn't stop him. Yet when Pavlik only need one chance he finished the job.
