    The funny thing is on Taylor is for a fighter with his boxing ability, and God given speed, he got hit hard
    and often by fighters prior too the Chavez fight. His defense was never great. I always thought that flaw would eventually rear its head
    when he faced very good or ATG competition and it did. I don't buy into Arguello lost his power when he went up to jr.welter, it
    was the style and capabilities of Pryor that was underestimated more than what Arguello lost. Against a very fast but light punching, average defensive fighter like Taylor I see Arguello slowly taking him apart, and stopping him more convincingly than Chavez did.
