    I'd pick Taylor.

    Speed kills - FAR more accomplished technician and probably a bit faster that Floyd.

    I tell you what though - He would have made it a freakin' exciting war - Their styles are different, but their thirst for battle wasn't - Great fight.

    Taylor TKO 8-ish.

    Taylor is too good for a guy like Ricky. You should be making threads about a Prime Ricky against a gatti,ward,augustus caliber of fighter

    :lol:

    Taylor was on another level and would embarrass Hatton more than Pac or Mayweather did.

    I go with Taylor, just too fast. I agree though, with their styles, and if ricky could last, the fight would almost certainly develop into a war.

    Taylor would land at will as Hatton came in. Taylor by stoppage.

    Dont know, Taylor was incredibly fast. But at 140 with Hatton at his Tszyu prime he would be tough to beat. Taylor has the edge in speed and skill. But he dosent hit all that hard. Couldnt even dent Chavez and Chaavez was a natural lightweight. But overall Taylor would win by ud. No way he would knock out Hatton in his prime.
