Prime Meldrick Taylor vs Crawford @ 140

Crawford by UD. Also Crawford would murder Julio Caeser Chavez in any era.

 

At 135 Chavez stops Crawford. The non stop pressure of Chavez stops a weight drained, underfed, dehydrated Crawford. At 140 I'd say toss up. At 147 I'd probably pick Crawford.

 

Speed can be timed. I'd probably pick Crawford to win a close UD over Taylor.

 

I give Taylor the edge, he was faster than Crawford. Chavez would have stopped Crawford, Chavez, in his prime had a rock chin, hit hard, cut off the ring, great body puncher. He knocked Roger Mayweather out two times..............in two different weight divisions and Roger could punch extremely hard...........

 

Holy ****!

 

Taylor and its not even close. Does that Scottish kid who went 12 with Crawford go the distance with Meldrick ?

 

Aahhhahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Ahahahhaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!
Sorry but that was too funny

 

I think meldrick got hit to much to beat Crawford.

 

Gotta agree with this

 

As fast as Taylor was, his defense sucked. I see Crawford timing him and stopping him.

 

Whitaker vs Crawford is a better fight

 

I'm amazed how people think meldrick Taylor was cheated from victory against Chavez. If you watch the fight without the Mexican hating American commentary (I'm British and neutral so it's obvious to me) it's clear meldrick gets beat up...and convincingly. The fact that Chavez barely had a scratch on him and Taylor had injuries not uncommon with car crash victims, proves how much Chavez ****ed him up.
Watch how Chavez slips rides and parries all of Taylor's punches while he lands bombs on Taylor. Taylor was never the same after this fight.

As for Crawford...he would be in for a shock when he realises he can't bully or push back Chavez. Chavez walks through him.

 

This. Crawford's insane reach would give either Taylor or Chavez lots of problems.
