    I just think his upper ceiling in regards to what he will achieve is limited. He's pretty quick, obviously has power and is pretty accurate and varies his shots nicely. Suffice to say his offence has been impressive so far.

    But it's his defence which I am not enamoured by. Whenever I see a guy with a hands up style it usually means you have a fighter who has little to no head movement and that's the case with Taylor. Not seen him show that he can move well, particularly on the back foot. He squares up too much for me, it allows him to unload with impressive combinations but I feel that combined with no head movement, possible lack of ability to box well on the back foot will see him struggle when he faces a guy he cant just overwhelm and either forces him back or uses his aggression against him via counter punching.

    Like I said I expect him to pick up a title, but he won't be challenging for a spot on peoples P4P lists.

    I guess if you were not there for that long ago RBR I just looked like an idiot today:beer-toast1:

    Sadly for Sweet Hands, he's seen nothing but Good Times, but the Bad Times might be coming, he's gonna be left Dazed and Confused after Porky Medina shows him No Quarter and does the Misty Mountain Hop on his ass, he'll be saying Hey, Hey, What Can I Do? And he quits on his stool after 8.:deal:

    It's also one of my favourite songs of theirs. Zep II is a great album :D

    Same here, it actually may be my favorite song of heirs, I was so happy they used it in the finale of True Blood. Uh oh, now I have to do a Top 30 Led Zeppelin Songs thread in the lounge.:hang:lol:

    Yes it's a fantastic track. I love the intro.

    I never saw the finale of True Blood, think I watched at least 4 seasons, maybe 5, but then it started falling off a bit and I lost interest. I did plan on finishing watching it, though, as I did enjoy it up untill then.

    Especially for this reason :love:

    I would enjoy that thread :)

    Yeah the last 3 seasons were borderline painful at times, yet I was bizarrely still compelled and hung in there, the stuff with Salome and the Vampire Authority I found fairly compelling, and it did kind of right the ship in the last season.


    And damn.... even more inspiration.... now I have to do a Deborah Ann Woll thread too.:sisi1

    I think I liked the first couple of seasons best of all. But it's been ages since I watched any of them so my memory is blurry. I will get round to finishing it at some point.

    OK you know I'll enjoy that one too lol

    You should check it out, I think you'll like them in a frustratingly painful yet pleasurable way. Its worth it, that being said, I tend to be an OCD completest.

    And I'm not joking about the DAW thread.

    And watch Dexter.:deal: You will love it!
