    I say Taylor with zero faith in that answer. I think he was a cut above at junior welterweight.

    Meldrick in his prime was stupid fast, I vote him.

    Taylor probably wasn't any faster than prime Camacho. Taylor threw ridiculously fast flurries but Camacho could do the same and also be amazingly fast while loading up on punches.

    Taylor had more of a fighter's heart though, and 140 wasn't Camacho at his best.

    I lean towards TNT by decision.
