I believe he can do it! It will not be easy for him but if he can beat a legend in Bhop I feel he can take a Pavlik. Hes need a gameplan and if he believes he is the best he can conjure one. If he takes some big shots from Pavlik i do believe it would be all over. Pavlik is the favourite in the fight and rightly so!

It will be bloody close, but I believe he can do it. He needs to bring out a performance deep down and show he can do it. It will need to be a fight of the year performance but if he can put Pavlik down and really capatilize he can win the fight. If he takes his foot off once he will be put on the back foot and this is where Pavlik lands his best shots. Pavlik has good heart and if JT wants to beat him he has to show even bigger heart than Pavlik and really believe he can do it. I dont see this one going the distance, but i want JT to win it.

I think JC would beat him though
Maybe Taylor can do it, and I guess we'll see soon enough, but I say he folds under pressure.

I would never say Taylor doesn't have heart, but I think he panicks, and Pavlik doesn't. Pavlik immediately got up from his knockdown and went straight back into Taylor, while on wobbly legs, which I think unsettled Taylor. And notice how he only knocked Pavlik down once, and only because Pavlik pretty much asked him to by sticking his face out, and never came close to doing it again.

Pavlik was probably the nervous one coming into that fight, so I can only imagine how much more confident he will be this next fight, with JT coming in with more nervous energy than #1. He'll come out and try to blow holes through Pavlik the 1st few rounds and then fade and then go to sleep.

Though I like JT and wouldn't be too upset if he wins, to set up a trilogy like you mentioned, I'd just as soon see Pavlik smash him again. Then let Pavlik move up and fight Kessler or Andrade, or even try to make a weight compromise and beat Hopkins into retirement.
The true best do learn from thier mistakes and if JT is one of the best he will learn what he did wrong and how to improve on it and ultimatly better it. It would be bad if JT just didnt do anything and got pummled, I would question surely if he has what is takes to fight the best again. As for him coming in to KTFO Pavlik, im not sure that would be his wisest move. He can box a good fight as well, those fights hands would really get Pavlik worried if he could keep it up for 12 rounds, combining them with a lot of power would get Pavlik worried.

I hope its another highly entertaining fight, because I do believe they are the two best in the devision. We will have to wait and see.

The winner of this IMO needs to fight Abraham.
