Taylor twice defeated a legend and one of the best men to ever lace up gloves in the 160 division. But despite throwing everything at Pavlick he was walked down and destroyed. Ketchel is not known for his defensive skills, his jabbing or his reflexes. But he was a tank of a MW with legitimate power and a hellacious arsenal of shots. Does Ketchel walk Taylor down or does he get peppered behind the 1-2 combination eventually being dropped and stopped?
Taylor didn't twice defeat Hopkins - at least not legitimately. He got two unjust gift-wrapped decisions due to HBOs power and Hopkins' unpopularity with the boxing establishment. Taylor also had a shaky chin, which Stanley Ketchel would have shattered early.
