    Honestly Taylor is a great fighter but his conditioning is a major factor. If he doesn't get to over excited in exchanging when he gets hurt, and take his time and think his way through challenging times instead of trying to make his will be known. And try to make something happen when nothing is there. conserved energy will do him just fine and he'll last 12 and come out with the decision. But if he over exerts himself early, King arthur will reign. so to me it's 50 50. But m rooting for taylor.

    I'm rooting for Taylor, I think he still has a few great performances left in him.

    As long as he don't have no issues with his conditioning, Taylor should win. Well that and avoid getting into too many brawls against Abraham.
    Taylor has enough skill to outbox AA, it's all a matter of his conditioning.

    Im really hoping he beats Abraham. Abraham is a tough guy though, chin+power+tight defense.

    Taylor can outbox him. I hope he has tightened up his punches. Taylor's defense, he leaves himself open so much. Plus his upper body movement is very superfluous much of the time, he moves so much it negates the defensive posture. He could do more with less.

    Taylor is far more athletic though. With a solid gameplan of jabbing, slick movement, and sharp combination punching from the outside, he can win.

    How many times does a guy get to face the same type of opponnet for a third time, but one who is shorter and less busier than the other two? isnt it obvious that Taylor can easily play keep away flurry and win a decison! he did it against Hopkins who has a low workrate why not AA who doesnt posses the skills or defense of a Bhop, he does however have the KO power will he be able to land? Im doubtful but there is AA only Chance.

    Remember Taylor is fighting for his career, I expect him to win if I had money thats who I would bet on.

    Yeah Taylor really has alot more to lose against AA. Author has no losses, 1 loss against Taylor is not too bad to bounce back from. as long as he dosn't lose in a brutal fashion.
    JT, on the other hand, is coming off a couple of hard loses.

    JT is not the hardest to hit, why is everyone questioning if AA will hit JT? It is not a matter of how but when:deal

    Taylor is better fighter than Ward and Dirrel put together. He has a chance to win the fight, but.......................

    Taylor is an excellent fighter with loads of ability to win the fight, but remains vulnerable going into it for reasons we all know well enough. It's that simple.

    Taylor has floored Froch and Pavlik. Why do people doubt him against a small fighter like AA who's best win is against Miranda?
    I've got a sneaky feeling that Taylor will win here. He will be too big and fight a boxers fight. He doesn't want to get into a trading contest with AA but wants to do enough to win without exerting himself too much for the later rounds. Although if Taylor has come to cash out and the mental issues of KO losses haunt him then it could be a big loss.

    I agree Taylor is running out of chances, but it won't be a shock if he beats AA. He should.

    He doesn't, I'm afraid. he's a nice guy but that's not enough against the Armenian Assassin
