Who wins? I have Mayweather winning by fairly close decision in a tough, competitive fight (7-5) at 140, & a competitive fight, but clear Mayweather win at 147 (8-4/9-3). I see it being a hybrid of Mayweather's fights with Augustus & Corley.
18:47 Floyd pulls back from counter jab, bad defense. 19:51 20:00 20:05 20:18 20:25 20:56 21:01 21:10 Canelo lands counter jab. 27:04
Taylor by UD at 140. Too fast, too busy. He would land twice as many punches as Floyd. Not sure about 147. Taylor seemed to lose a few steps after his heartbreaking loss to Chavez.
It's not as appealing at 147. But it's highly compelling at 140, where realistically both peaked. I see Taylor's handspeed, and tight inside combinations causing Floyd a lot of problems. However, I ultimately think that Mel's defense is too leaky for a sharpshooter like Floyd. Floyd takes over late with cleaner punching and wins a close decision in a great one.
