Look at all of the chances Taylor has had and blown in his career. Zag's never frustrated.
Taylor had the world on a platter and blew. He was making top dollar for fighting scrubs. Pavlik had to knock him out and fight him again just to make money. Taylor is no Calzaghe. He's had his chance and blew it. Every time.

Pavlik's will to win, from what I've seen so far, seems to be right there with Calzaghe's.
Taylor blew his chance every time? What does that even mean? He got through a younger Bhop than the one Joe fought 2x without gettin knocked on his ass. Hopkins output was complete shit against Joe, and he still baited Joe into right hands over and over and over. Completely different style matchup than CAL/Pavlik though so it doesn't mean much. I just see Pavliks nonstop pressure, power, and output carrying him to a win.
