taylor would have been a greater boxer had he been born in a boxing state with legit trainers instead of arkansas
Good call on Pep, Loche, Toney, Meldrick, Ray Leonard and Mosley. I wouldn't say Lennox was gifted other than he had size and power. He worked very hard to acquire the skills he got unlike someone like Ali. I think Sergio Martinez is very gifted also. For him to become MW champion after taking up boxing seriously in his 20's.
maybe what taylor says about how he loves boxing is true now. but he also just kind of got into the sport because he was too small for football and basketball. or at least that's what he's said before in interviews, and he's also mentioned he doesn't really follow boxing or keep up with the sport. can't be going into a dangerous profession like boxing with that kind of mentality.:-(
