Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Jermain Taylor

Stinks nearly did it, could PBF do it?

 

No, PBF is not in Spinks' class

 

I wouldn't write off Floyd's chances as Taylor is pretty shitty. However i think he'd have a hard time with a bigger guy who could keep a jab in his face all night. Also Taylor fell apart against punchers. Floyd can't hurt him.

I think it would be a 115-113 fight for Jermain

 

I'd actually pick Floyd here. Taylor is the perfect MW for him - not much technique and terrible stamina. As long as Floyd didn't give away too many early rounds, I'd like his chances once the scorecards are read.

Probably not a fight all that different from Floyd-DLH, scoring and all.

 

Stinks is a lot bigger than Floyd. This is a matchup between a guy who has never weighed more than 149-150 in the ring vs a guy who weighs 175 in the ring. Floyd has a chance, though, since Taylor sucks so badly.

 

Taylor indeed sucked, but goddamn he's monstrously big compared to Floyd... Be like watching the middleweight equivalent of a Valuev fight. I pick Taylor really without hesitation

 

Taylor is too big.

He's a BIG middleweight, and Floyd is a smallish welter.

Yes Floyd is 100 times better, but Taylor could literally just walk him down constantly, bully him, and probably hurt him with every vaguely clean blow landed.

Floyd stands some chance because of quite how crafty and defensive he is, but I would also pick Taylor without much hesitation.

 

It's a welter vs a light heavyweight. I'd have to favour the bumpkin

 

:giggle:

Bumpkin indeed. I mean what is a black man doing in Arkansas? ::

Anyway...Taylor does seem too big...but if Floyd can get out of the first 5 rounds without too may scrapes he could pull out a close decision win. He's that good.

 

I don't see how PBF wins this. If Taylor plays it safe, he wins rounds with his jab (we saw in the ODH fight how effective a consistent and long jab can be against PBF).

If he doesn't play it safe, he walks through PBF's punches and pounds him on the ropes.

Anyone who gives PBF a chance in this fight didn't watch PBF/ODH carefully.

 

But Ali-Frazier 1 would suggest that Ali would lose to Foreman.

 

I don't know what your point is. Are you saying in all cases, someone should pick the fighter who most would expect to lose? Because Ali managed to beat Foreman, someone most thought he'd lose to?

 

Poor example.

 

Floyd wins. In this case, mass doesn't matter. Floyd might weigh 150 but that is 150 pounds of skill. Jt might weigh170, but half of that is fecal matter with hicksauce. Floyd would run like a "Kansas City Faggot" or like Stinks in all of his fights. He would win a close decision. Taylor is awful. Yet, he managed to defeat the so called legend Bernard Slopkins two times . HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.ORG.

 

Floyd.. without a doubt

i don't care of taylor is 6'80 and 1000 lbs.. Floyd is 10 levels above him in skill

 

Do you think Floyd would beat Slopkins?
