I'll make this easy for you, Taeth...
He is an undefeated champ in one of boxing's most storied divisions.
Taylor was supposed to be that but wasn't exciting... Pavlik filled the void that was Jermain Taylor with a young, tough, high work rate, exciting fighter...
Get's no criticism? How bout this... His handspeed is not exceptional... What other real criticism can you give him? He picks off shots with his gloves, is always on his toes, moves well, and friggin throws bombs...
It has nothing to do with Americans yerning for a hero

... Most of my favorite fighters are not of this country... Katsidis, Gamboa, Gatti, Cotto, Morrales, Hatton and Tszyu are not of this country... I could care less about that.
