Both Pavlik and Taylor had to kill themselves to make 160. Stewart going with Pa

Sour grapes for Steward i think I think Taylor can beat him this time he had Pavlik all but out in the 2nd in the last fight and was a head on points before getting caught im going for Taylor but either way i won't be bothered just hope its a great fight for boxing and the fans.

JT needs to work on getting to Kelly's body more. Everyone seems to headhunt Pavlik but when is someone going to hunt that thin frame? Pavlik will be ready for that right hand of Taylor's over the top, but Taylor should zero in on that body IMO. If JT stays out in the middle of the ring he'll likely get caught like he did last time after he starts gassing, as he sems to do on occasion. He can't get put to the ropes and trade shots upstaires with Pavlik as eventually Kelly will wear him down that way with sheer volume of punches. So he might as well get in close with Pavlik and try to negate those monkey arms that Kelly has so much reach with and work the body, tie up when necessary. Am I off base with this? Regardless, he better do something different or he'll get the same as last time. I still pick Pavlik to crush him again. I am a fan of both and though I would be upset if Taylor won, it would set up what would be a highly anticipated trilogy.

Believe it or not guys but i'm picking Taylor...
Seriously!
I no that my high opinion of the guy is probably clouding my judgement but i feel he's got a lot more to offer the game, should he unlock that potential somehow i feel he may be one of the best guys in boxing...
Really!!!...

I like Pavlik, i think he's a truely great fighter and he won the title in the most admirable fashion possible, but i want Taylor to win and as a result, more out of desire than any logic I pick Jermaine Taylor to stop Kelly Pavlik.

I here what your saying but at this point in his career if he hasn't "unlocked his potential" I don't see it happening. He can't even listen to his corner for Christ's sake... Pavlik by TKO!

I second that

I agree that Pavlik will probably win, but do people forget the second round? Taylor has had trouble making weight for awhile and that also plays a factor in the stamina among other things. However if he calmed down ever he would be a great fighter, but he still hasn't calmed down at all in there, and that is why he has only a puncher's chance or Pavlik's chin to win the fight.

Is that something people can change though? Seems like its just his nature as a fighter, he's just a nervous fighter. Its one of the main reasons he tires so badly.

Jermain Taylor is DAMAGED GOODS! Before the 2nd Round against Pavlik, He hadn't scored a KNOCK DOWN in like 3 years! When he finally is able to score a KNOCKDOWN, the guy gets up, survives, and KNOCKS him OUT! not DOWN, OUT!!!! His CONFIDENCE was rattled before their last fight, due to his Home Town Critics! Now the little Confidence he had in September is gone and it will show this Febuary! Pavlik will be STRONGER at this weight and Taylor will find it Harder and Harder to avoid being Stopped Again! Taylor wont be able to push Pavlik back with jabs and hard right hands, and thats how you beat a Kelly Pavlik! YOU GOTTA MOVE HIM BACKWARDS! Taylor will get knocked out again!

Willie Pep didn't knock out many fighters but he was one of the best fighters pound for pound of all time....your knowledge of boxing is extremely limited if you think someone has to KO someone to win.

Bernard Hopkins, Winky Wright, and Kelly Pavlik all combined have been knocked out 0 times

JT can win by decision just like anyone else
