    Who wins? Lets say the Taylor that took apart McGirt vs the Cervantes that took apart Dejesus. As brilliant as that Taylor was, I'll go with Kid Pambele by late stoppage. Cervantes was too long, rangy, and powerful for Taylor to cope with in the long run. Of course Tayor would have success scoring on the inside with his insane handspeed, but as the fight progresses more and more Cervantes height, pistol jab, and accurate power punching take its toll on Mel, and Taylor is stopped circa the 11th or 12th.

    Cervantes takes advantage of Taylor's willingness to rumbles and dissects him in the 12th round.

    All Antonio has to do is take Meldrick into deep water, like the 14th round, and stop him.Meldrick was good, but in a lot of technical ways, lacking.

    Pambele would eventually take control and stop him with that chopping right.

    Cervantes' straight punching and right hand sharp-shooting would eventually break Taylor's face. 10th round stoppage.
