    Who knows ?

    Maybe , maybe not

    He would definitely outclass a lot of the current WWs .

    I don't think so. He was always going to have a short peak, IMO.

    I don't think the Chavez fight really changed all that much, other than speeding up his decline that was inevitable.

    Floyd beats him easily. But he would beat a lot of 140's in today's era.

    He just wouldn't beat Floyd..

    Complete bull ****, Taylor's speed and insane work rate would give anyone a hard time at 140 Floyd included.

    I dislike Floyd as much as the next person, so it pains me to say that I agree with you on this. Floyd would beat Meldrick Taylor the same way he did to Canelo.

    If Canelo does not improve his defense, his career will be shortened the way Meldrick Taylor's was.

    Floyd beats Taylor the same way he beat Judah, late. Taylor's speed would befuddle Floyd early. Floyd would adjust and take over late.

    Canelo isn't the slightest bit like Meldrick Taylor.

    Too many philly gym wars by meldrick, contributed to his downfall too.
