    You're telling "me?" That's been "my" point all along! I say it's conceivable maidana could've stopped taylor, and I'm accused of saying that khan, Alexander "and" maidana are all better than Taylor? and you're calling me the absolutist?

    Taylor was fast as hell but he was not as skilled as lil Floyd IMO

    he might change his name to Mildred and take up sewing

    Thing is, there's A LOT to Discern, Sizing Khan, Alexander & Maidana Up AGAINST Each Other...Punch Resistance is Khan's Most GLARING Flaw, yet Maidana was UNABLE to Exploit in that Way...That CAN'T Be Construed Favorably, when Assessing Maidana vs. Meldrick Taylor...

    Taylor was not JUST fast. That bum Khan is JUST fast, and he beat Maidana.

    Taylor had great skills. Comparing his skill level to Floyd's is unfair, considering Floyd is one of the most skilled operators in the sport's history. But it doesn't take Floyd skills to beat Chino.

    I stand by my original point, the Taylor of 89-90 was a better fighter than the Mayweather of 2014. In fact, I don't think that's even debatable. Cdogg and I see that as the truth, I dunno why everybody else is so blinded.

    Not blinded here, I stand by 37 year old Floyd beats 37 year old Taylor

    I also think 17 year old Floyd beats 17 year old Taylor

    Taylor soundly beats Maidana at both weights, unless we are talking about post-Norris version of Taylor. After Norris, he went from "past his prime" to "shot".
