    Using tunnel vision to focus on Mayweather’s 140 resume is misleading.

    He had no issue backing up Judah and Mosley.

    Taylor is one who never priced he could hang with someone like Mayweather.

    Floyd was not that good and never had to deal with the amount of quick shots that would come his way from Taylor.

    He had no power and he couldn`t hit as hard as Chavez did.

    Chavez had far more power than Floyd and threw more shots, Floyd was just a spoiler.

    Taylor was better on the inside than Khan and Floyd.

    I’m a pretty big Meldrick fan, but don’t see him winning this. Floyd 8-4 ish type of decision.

    Fights are 36 mins long not 35 mins and 58 seconds.

    Taylor got the absolute **** beaten out of him against Chavez. That stoppage was totally fine.

    2 seconds to go in a fight where he was a mile ahead.

    I don’t believe Floyd was physically a very strong person. In the boxing ring he was, I think that’s undeniable he roughed up a notoriously strong WW in Mosley no problem. I don’t think he ever had issues on the inside. Check me on that if I’m wrong.
