The old thread had a ridiculous title, so let's start another one. I got to watch Taylor against Lacy last night, and it was a good performance, especially after the layoff and at the new weight and all...I liked the way he was cutting inside and clinching to avoid loopy shots, he seemed strong on the inside, he did it all well...I am glad to see that...he'll be a force and he'll get better as he gains more confidence. The thing that concerned me the most was the way Taylor was backing up in a straight line...man...that's not good news against someone like Kessler especially. So...here's my new SMW Top 10: 1. Kessler 2. Bute 3. Andrade 4. Taylor 5. Bika 6. Inkin The rest I will not rank until they prove they belong. So, what's your Top 10? :good
1, Kessler 2. Bute 3. Andrade 4. Froch 5. Taylor 6. Inkin 7. Bika 8. Pascal 9. Miranda 10. Balzsay You can swap Taylor/Froch if you want, Ive given it to Froch coz he's established at the weight, but not bothered if swapped round
How do you guys see a Andrade vs Taylor fight playing out? I could honestly see Andrade taking him out in the late rounds.
Good list. I think head to head Taylor goes at number 2, possibley number one, but he needs to accomplish a bit more before that would be widely agreed on. I also think zuniga needs to forget 168, and drop back down to 160.
1.Kessler 2.Bute 3.Taylor 4.Froch 5.Andrade 6.Inkin 7.Lacy 8.Balzsay 9.Pascal 10.Bika Just outside: Allan Green, Mundine, Miranda
If Andrade can get Taylor into the latter rounds, He could definitely get himself a TKO or a KO. Something extremely similar to Bute-Andrade honestly. With so much great talent inside 168, I'm getting a tad impatient with the lack of big fights right now.
Yep -- we need some big fights. There are also some fights that may not be that big as far as over all impact on the division that would be GREAT match ups. Am I the only one who wants to see Adrade/Bika and Miranda/Zuniga?
