Just like the Conyers v. Kirkland fight; just take a look at how each person responded to being put down.... No way Taylor can withstand Pavlik. For that matter no one at Mwt can withstand Pavlik. That's why he hasn't gone the distance in almost four years.

As for the 2nd, Taylor hit him clean and even followed up with forearms (check the vid), and he still couldn't put Pavlik down for more than a few seconds.

Pavlik is the TRUTH... I agree he is not the fastest, but he won't quit. Taylor (as I have been saying) got lucky breaks on decisions that should have gone against him. Without the cards, he is a dead duck.

IMO he keeps the belts as long as he stays at Mwt. Duddy and A.Lee are joke opponents; Abraham would be a big draw for either side of the Atlantic.
