Good matchup!! I think MT goes down in history as a greater fighter, but i think H2H Chico takes it! I think he takes it by strong KO finish too. That wiry leverage that chico had was something abnormal.
at 140? taylor, chico was no good at 140. Well maybe against some of the guys today a younger chico could do alright but that was above his best weight and taylor is more talented and bigger
no disrespect at all to corrales but i feel taylor gets a little underrated on here. taylor was very skilled but he also wasnt afraid to sit down on his punches either. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=porsK2f9emo[/ame]
in all honesty...after watching several taylor fights...and just judging by how certian styles would make for great fights. i would have loved to see him v. ssm. that would have been fireworks. shane always threw and drew back with his head exposed...i feel this would have been a great fight.
We don't know that. He jumped straight from LW to WW without a stop in between unless my memory is failing me, and I've always thought he could have grown into a very effective WW if he hadn't insisted on taking on the toughest WW he could find v. Clottey in his first fight at WW and caught that beatdown.
Taylor was good but he's always going to be an underdog against big punchers in a fantasy fight, just too willing to trade.
It'd be a slaughter. Chico doesn't last more than 4 or 5 rounds. Too easy to hit for a guy as fast and explosive as Taylor.
