    Ive got Taylor, that speed gunna work him overtime. But Roger was quite composed at this weight when he was on and if he lands a big shot things can change. I'll pick Taylor though everytime im asked to be honest.

    I love Taylor, but don't see him KO'ing Roger here. I would be comfortable picking him in a clear UD any day of the week...and twice on Sunday!

    Mayweather's movement and jab would cause Taylor problems.Not to mention Mayweather has 1 punch knockout power in his righthand.When Mayweather was on he was close to being a great fighter.I saw him deck many boxers in his career.

    Forrest vs Mosley is what comes to mind for me. I envision Mayweather playing Vernon's roll.

    Taylor would outclass Roger and win a decision.

    Like Taylor outclassed Howard Davis ?Think Davis but with ALOT more power.
    Lets Remember in his second bout with Chavez Mayweather was leading before quitting on his stool in round 11.

    Taylor: wide-ish UD. Was an excellent fighter at his best.

    Taylor by a late round stoppage, though for the first six rounds, it's highly competitive, and Roger may give him the fight of his life, especially if he lands a couple of solid blows.

    That is more of a reflection of KT being extremely overrated. Prime 140 lb. Taylor was better tha Tszyu ever was, especially 1995 still green KT. I see Taylor outworking Mayweather but Roger could possible hurt Taylor with his big right hand from the outside. Taylor's defense wasn't the best. I think Taylor would survive any rocky moments to win a 12 round decision.
