    Taylor in the first fight was winning early on and was on verge of KOing Kelly until he gassed. He then went on to get hurt and stopped off Kelly and that was detrimental to Taylor's mindset when it came to fighting Kelly.

    But for me if you were to pit them both against some of the great middleweight champs from history Taylor would have a better time. Just look at their fights with B-Hop, Taylor beat him twice and Pavlik got schooled!
    Two rounds don't make a fight. A fight goes until the final bell or until someone can't continue. For two rounds, Taylor beat Pavlik; for six rounds Cotto beat Margarito; for seven rounds Lee beat Vera - you get my point.

    Additionally, after the first fight...there was a second fight. In which Pavlik clearly outboxed Taylor. Like speed, power, and ring generalship, heart, courage, and perserverence are qualities that combine to make a fighter great. Pavlik has more of those than Taylor. It really can't be refuted. At 60, Pavlik is better than Taylor.

    Your point is that Taylor would fair better than Pavlik against other all-time great middleweights. That is a different point and it would take consideration of the individual match-ups. Taylor may get the edge against some, and Pavlik the edge against others. At the end of the day, when both fighters are retired we can scrutinize their legacies and decide which one is stronger.
