    What a ridiculous question. If a Tijuana cab driving slugger like Chavez could outbox Taylor at spurts and eventually "beat" (aka rob) him then imagine what Money would've done to him. No question Money takes him out in the mid rounds. Taylor was on the level of an Angel Manfredy.

    Fight wouldn't happen. floyd would surelyduck Meldrick Taylor and blame it on a) won't do business with Don King b) Taylor PPV numbers were too small and he's not a household name c) handpick Troy Dorsey as an opponent over Taylor or d) accuse Taylor of using steroids and force random blood tests

    I could see him and his crackhead relatives accusing Taylor of taking roids based on Taylor being way to fast.

    This is very true, and we'd then have to listen to his fans telling us how it doesn't matter if Floyd doesn't face him because he'd definitely beat him anyway and as he'd obviously win if they were to fight then there really is no need to actually fight him.

    So a Meldrick Taylor who's only claim to fame is beating Buddy mcGirt and almost beating Chavez is gonna beat Floyd Mayweather who at 140 was probably at the peak of his abilities, threw punches in bunches with power?

    Yeah, good one. :rofl

    McGirt was a better fighter than anyone Floyd beat at 140, mate.

    And McGirt nor Taylor never displayed the skill, power, or ability as Floyd at 140.

    Floyds resume at 140 is weak because the best at that class, Cotto and Hatton wouldnt fight him, and Tszyu couldnt fight him.

    But anyone with any eye for ability could see Floyd was on another level at that weight class, as to why Arum didnt let Cotto near him and Hatto **** himself.
