    Is Taylor too big and too fast for Chapo? Or does Mel's lack of defense bite him in the ass here.

    Good matchup, surprising i don't recall seeing it before. My first instinct was to pick Meldrick but i'm not so sure. While he was a great fighter he wasn't the hardest in the world to hit which gives Chapo his chances.

    I'll ride the fence for now.

    I seem to remember this matchup being done once before, but back in the 2000s so definitely worth a restart.

    And I agree 100%. Probably go with Taylor, but given his defensive holes, Rosario is very live.

    50/50 fight. I think Taylor can outwork Rosario to eke out a decision after surviving a couple hard shots. Rosario can also exploit Taylor’s tendency to fight toe to toe and also drop him hard to the point of stopping him.

    Either way it goes it would have been entertaining while it lasts.

    BOTH Are Hurt/Dropped Along the Way, But Taylor's Superior Speed Would Lead to Him BEATING Chapo to the Punch More Times Than Not...As Hard as Chapo Hit, He'd Be EATING 3-4 Shots to Land 1 of His, a Ratio That Would Ultimately Cost Him the Fight....
