    :lol:I don't know what to make of this guy. He's like a cross between the bitter old man whose always on about what he's seen and done, rehashing the same old cliche stories we've heard time and again, and an insecure little kid trying to prove himself.

    Regardless of what you say, it's obvious who's been letting this argument effect their daily mood.

    I believe Mayweather wins by UD. Taylor, despite his fast hands and combos, Meldrick loves to fight and does not have enough the lateral movement to keep off Mayweather's fast reflexes and underrated counterpunching skills.

    As fast as Taylor is, he's also one-dimensional and can't punch. Floyd still had pretty good pop at 140 and I see Floyd easily figuring Meldrick out and stopping him late or getting a UD.

    I don't think Mayweather would stop Taylor if they fought five times.

    Mayweather is an ATG. His skills are undeniable in the ring. I wish modern historians, and some writers would give Mayweahter his due.

    I think he wins a decision over Taylor.

    Quite a series of exchanges ...

    Anyway, I think Meldrick would be a very challanging fight for Floyd. Speed, conditioning, chin, strength, volume of punching ... one of two styles to beat Floyd, the other obvious selection being the Hearn's model.

    :deal

    pleaze...to all meldrick believers...convince us that he can win against floyd. cite one fight wherein taylor fought a talent as equal or close as mayweather's.

    and to think that i dont like floyds persona outside the ring
