    Leonard probably couldn't KO him at Middleweight, but he'd nearly shut his eyes. Taylor's jab won't do much for him here. He'll get countered into oblivion chasing a ghost.

    First four rounds, SRL just feels the bigger man out...round five he begin the humiliation. It would not be fun viewing for Taylor's people. It would be a bit of a humiliation I think.

    A shut out is possible, a wide points decision is likely, but there is another possibility.

    Taylor finds something and gets going. Not likely but possible. He's never really been desperate in a fight yet so we just don't know what he has in a situation like that. Possibley ritual humiliation would bring it to the surface.

    But if I could get decent odds i'd maybe have a flutter on a shut out.

    This should be the consensus.

    SRL totally schools Taylor. Wide UD.

    Got that right, SP. No contest.

    Jermaine pulls a Terry Norris like performance on him. JT by easy decision.

    I've always hated him even before the Hagler fight. He's an overrated baby who can't win a fight if he can't find a way to handicap his opponent. Look at how way Norris beat him-no sweat.

    I'm guessing you are saying Benitez, Duran and Hearns weren't 100% on fight night?

    Isn't that their fault or is Leonard expected to take them running with him?

    Leonard by decision, even that 30-year old layoff version had too much speed for Taylor to deal with. Taylor will look completely befuddled in there.
