pac vs hatton last 2 rounds..

taylor took a lot against chavez and eventually got kod even though 2 seconds were left he was still stopped..

why are these two being compared from those fights

Pacquiao. He'd be just as fast, just as powerful if not more so, and would put a beating on Taylor. Pretty good fight, but Pacquiao is a different class fighter than Meldrick Taylor.

voted for taylor ko/tko by mistake......

taylor can give pacquiao problems if he dances and box and moves.

he is fast and has damn good boxing skills.

problem is the "philly" in meldrick will have him fight and that would favor pacquiao.

One, because the Taylor from the Chavez fight is probably the best Meldrick (140lbs) out there. He was game that night and took it to Chavez, and was clearly winning the fight, too bad about the ending though.

Two, even though Pacquiao only fought once at 140, many will agree that 140 is still Pacquiao's best weightclass today.

Meldrick Taylor left too many questions that couldn't be answered. It still difficult to say how would he perform fighters like Pacman, Floyd, Khan etc. He has tremendous speed and skills, but showed vulnerability and depending on the opponent he could win or lose.

[Ishy Aytan]

Pacquiao hits too hard.

Knocks Meldrick Taylor out.

Manny TKO/KO

Taylor would lose it for himself by starting to brawl.
