    :lol:

    Twat. That's your criteria for a great fighter is it? When was he inducted? :lol: I suppose Barry McGuigan is better than Charley Burley because his induction was sooner after his retirement?

    Not really. He got knocked out twice. Boxers who were proven before Randall: Rocky Lockridge who gave him hell but lost a MD and Laporte who outhustled him but got shafted on the scorecards.

    No, because he was knocked out by:
    ChavezX2
    Norris
    Espana

    lost to c-level fighters like:

    Hasan Al
    Martell
    Garcia
    Maciunski

    Didn't have the accomplishments, longevity.
    Didn't have the durability of a top fighter or the ring smarts (Philly mentality). He had great skills and speed.

    Stop posting, seriously. You are so ignorant and stupid that it's actually painful to watch.

    Nice comeback:nut. I doubt you have watched more than 2 Meldrick Taylor fights.

    I've got his whole career set you muppet. You clearly know nothing about him. You know how I inferred that? By that absolute bull**** you've posted so far in this thread.

    I don't debate with ****-spouters. Unless you are prepared to stop bullshitting, them I'm done with this.

    Tszyu hit a little harder and was a little quicker.. But his combos didnt flow like Chavez, who was also a much better puncher,even more accurate,better defense,Better chin,and could break a fighter down better,also much better chin.. You think Chavez took alot of punches from Taylor? Tszyu would eat way more.. I think he could hurt Taylor with one shot more so than Chavez, but overall i dont think hed break down Taylor the way Chavez did..

    Now you know your being a troll bringing up those journeyman.:-( When Taylor was already shot and already punchy. This is like worst than saying Casamayor wasnt half the fighter Guerrero is because he was dominated.. And that Santa Cruz was robbed and proved much greater than Joel ever was.

    If Tszyu fought the same guys Taylor did he wouldnt have lasted either!! Especially after warring with Chavez.. But you probably think Tszyu beats a prime Chavez :patsch It would be a war and Tszyu would definitely have his moments but Chavez would turn his face into a mess by the mid to late rounds and stop him. Im not sure if Tszyu could beat Mcgirt who Taylor dominated, maybe ill give him a shot at the JW version of Mcgirt (not the WWversion) but hed get all he wanted.. And Tszyu couldnt beat Espana either, and would get kod by Norris. If Taylor had Tszyu opponents he would have made a ton of defenses too.!!

    Taylor's horribly overrated, yeah he was fast but he gets timed by Tszyu especially since he liked way too much to engage.

    The Taylor of the McGirt fight would do a number on Tszyu.

    Dam talk about styles making fights. This is a total clash in styles, I'd probably favor Taylor if he boxes smart, utilizes his incredible handspeed to get his combos off and keeps Kostya at a distance.

    You have to stay alert with a prime Tszyu though because he could change the dynamics of a fight with one punch. I don't imagine Meldrick would stay toe to toe in the pocket with him for too long.

    The American will win because he is American. According to ESB logic.
