Ouch. I think that Pavliks skills have been improving a great deal over the last 2 years to be honest with you.
I must say though that what Tony lacks in textbook boxing skills, he certainly makes up for in drama in his fights. And who needs to be able to block and duck when your chin is made of solid concrete?
pavlik has skills and is improving every fight and if he didnt how do you explain him beating a guy twice who beat hopkins twice he has to have some skill well atleast more than tony
I was only kidding.
Taylor was given the decision because he threw more punches and Hopkins didn't land enough effective punches throughout both fights for the judges liking but in my opinion and also some of the opinions of anothers he deserved the draw in the first fight ( Taylor was given a little gift with one of the judges socrecards giving him the 12th round so it wasn't a draw when everyone clearly knows Hopkins won the 12th.)
As for the second fight he put in a even worse performance and i felt Hopkins won it 115-113. Taylor was real lucky Hopkins was 40 those nights because everyone knows what Hops would of done to Taylor if he was in his prime.
I know but there are so many fights I'd love to see him in just to see how he would fare such as:
ODLH
Mayweather
Cotto rematch
Williams rematch
and so on. He really excites me in the same way Gatti used to a few years ago. Just wish he had a Mickey Ward to have a great trilogy with like Gatti did! (maybe Cotto?)
actually he does have a mickey ward his name is daniel santos![]()
No me neither. What I meant was someone to make him a long lasting name in boxing. For example Gatti will never be remembered for being a great champion but whenever people talk about the greatest fights of all time all 3 Ward fights will come up in the conversation and therefore have cemented both Gatti and Wards names in the boxing history books and deservedly so!
