    Xplosive has been slacking off lately, and hasn't made this thread in at least 6 months, so that is why I am doing it.

    For me:

    Kelly Pavlik
    Arthur Abraham
    Humberto Soto
    Joel Casamayor
    Miguel Cotto

    We should start a new thread posting that Mike Tyson highlight video followed by a thread asking where Juan "Pollo" Valenzuela has gone, and followed by an Alexa update.

    I'm indifferent about most fighters. The only fighters I'd say I'm a big fan of are Floyd and Manny.

    In fact I might actually be pulling for Jermaine Taylor in the rematch even though I'm more of a Pavlik fan.

    You know if X is slacking off if he hasn't listed a "Mismatch Mythical Matchups" in a couple months.

    I like both Taylor and Pavlik...I like Pavlik more because I like his fighting style more.

    I guess after seeing how Taylor was bashed on the radio in his hometown and how it was said that some of his Little Rock fans were turning on him, I felt bad for him and wanted to see him do well. Normally I'm like "why the hell would I have sympathy for a millionaire?", but I think it's good for the sport when a pro boxer is one of the biggest sporting figures in a certain area (Arkansas), so I want to see him do well.

    A loss in a non-title bout wouldn't hurt Pavlik all that much provided it was competitive. I expect Pavlik to stop Taylor inside of 6 rounds though.
