Did Taylor ACTUALLY beat Hopkins twice..... or....... 1. Was he helped by having the first four rounds of each fight handed to him on a plate? 2. Did he receive a bit of a favour from the judges? The point I am trying to make is that Hopkins was awful in both, yet the scoring was also controversial. And..... What exactly has Taylor done since these two wins - because I can't think of anything other than going 12 with Pavlik in the rematch. Beating zooped up light-middles and welters ain't anything :deal
ok but he did it not once but twice apparently all you need to do to be considered the greatest of all time (at least if your address is in wales) is to beat hopkins once
Taylor looked like a complete **** at a catchweight 166 against Pavlik . . . he may beat Lacy but it doesn't mean he'll be able to handle Kesller who is very much stablished at his present weight. Points or KO . . . it's Kesller.
Also, you would agree, Taylor should completely dismantle Kelly Pavlik should they ever meet. Oh wait.
i think if Lacy KOs Taylor we'll have the upset of the year. much bigger than Pavlik losing, or young Khan getting KOd...
after taylors performence against pavlik,i think kessler would knock him out. kessler has more handspeed,footwork,and through better combo´s than pavlik.i think it would be a good fight,but IMO taylor would get beat up.
