    G-Man threw straighter punches, perhaps... but I disagree that he was any more accurate or had a greater variety of punches. When he isn't tired, Taylor can throw good combinations and from a variety of angles. G-Man couldn't throw an uppercut to save his live.

    As for comparing Miranda and G-Man's power, it really isn't as clear cut as people might think. As I pointed out, G-Man's biggest KOs (Jackson and Mugabi) came against fighters that were known for having suspect chins and lost almost all of their other losses by KO. Otherwise, G-Man and Miranda both basically fought and KO'd comparable levels of fighters.

    1. Absolutely. Always has been a possibility. WOn't be an easy task, though.

    2. I don't think that will ever happen. A more likely scenario is that he is "caught" or put down by an opponent who is meeting him in center ring.

    Peace.

    Pavlik is good, bro....but he can be limited in his offensive output and he does have weaknesses that can be exploited.

    He is often a "rinse and repeat" kind of guy - and he needs to work on his left hook badly (that's nothing new). He also gets sooo focused on landing his right that he neglects the body - and his body shots can be quite effective.

    I agree he is stylistically different from Margarito, but I can sorta understand some of the comparisons.

    Peace.

    Double is definitely back on the sauce. It's a shame.

    let's not forget that Trash Miranda was supposed to be one of Kelly's biggest wins last year before Taylor. Hell Miranda was ranked ahead of Kelly going into the fight. :popcorn:
