It would seem that Pavlik will force Taylor to actually fight, but I maintain that Pavlik is the more talented and hungrier fighter, despite losing to Taylor in the amateurs. I agree with you about Hopkins and Wright being very difficult to fight, but I think that is because they know how to win without taking on much risk. I think Pavlik will make Taylor put out and it will come down to talent and power. IMO Spinks and Ouma were too small and weak to pose threat to Taylor so the Taylor we saw in those fights is irrelevant to the upcoming fight. The jab might be a problem early on given Taylor's reach advantage but I am betting that Pavlik will figure it out.
