Taylor vs DLH @ 140

???

 

Very close fight Ive thought of before. This is debatable but I thought 140 was De La Hoya's best weight. I think either man might win it. I mighve favoured De La Hoyas harder blows and tighter defense?

Which round does Taylor knock him out, Neil? ::

 

was taylor a face first brawler?

 

It would be similar to DLH - Mosley. Taylor went to war.

 

He was a gifted but flawed boxer whose rep is a bit overblown, IMO.

 

DLH's egde in power decided this in his favor

 

A case could be made.

 

Sure as hell not based on the Chavez and McGirt fights.

A face first brawler is Crapsidis. Give Taylor a LITTLE bit more credit than that.

 

Jermain would weight drained as hell @ 140.

Oscar via easy KO.

 

Mel's reputation is pretty outrageous

He was a terrific fighter who sometimes had defensive lapses and went into offensive overdrive, but he did not lack the ability to box, he was a better backfoot guy than that fuck Mosley

Anyway, this fight is really fascinating, could go either way for me
