Suppose this fight takes place at middleweight. I say this fight is the one that could help Floyd's resume the most. If he beats the recognized middleweight champ, he will go down for sure among the top 10 of all time, the first legitimate 6 division champion, plus Taylor is top 4 p4p currently. He'd probably belong among the top 5, although I wouldn't expect many to give him that credit out loud but in their heart of hearts. I think Mayweather beats him with or without Steward. Spinks had him irritated, so Mayweather can leave him beaten. Let's see it. Who wins?

Shoot, didn't make it public. It's cool though as I think Taylor has near the amount of haters Mayweather does. Hopefully that nonsense doesn't affect the poll. I'm not sure myself who would win, but I picked Mayweather. -

Ha ha, HAHAHA, HAHAHAHAHA.
R U kidding?
PBF has looked increasingly ****ty with each weight increase, to the point where he's reverted to this ****ty potshot style of 'fighting' for his last two fights. I strongly doubt that he'll carry the extra weight even REMOTELY well, and taylor should literally be able to RUN through everything PBF throws.
Taylor is every bit as fast as Zab, with more power, and better stamina (although only slightly better focus), AND has a much better training camp than PBF.
PBF's only saving grace is that Taylor has a tendency to lose focus and not keep his punch output as high as it needs to be to properly pressure / win the fight. After taylor's fight with spinks, I'd imagine that this will change, but PBF could luck out there.
It would be a horrible move for PBF, especially with so much unfinished business at the lower weight classes. It's a good win if he wins, but win or lose it closes his career somewhat (what are the odds of him going down TWO weight divisions for a fight?). I'd much rather see him go try to give hatton a smackdown at 140, or shut up everyone by beating up on margarito, or better yet stop trying to kill the sport of boxing with his poisonous attitude to casual boxing fans and just stay retired. But that's just me.Comment

Mayweather is easily the better Boxer.. But Jermaine Taylor is a REAL middle weight.. I think 160 is a little too much for Floyd to handle.. Seriously.. DO you think he could eat punches from Miranda or Pavlik and Stay standing..
I am sure added those few extra pounds would slow Floyd enough he would get caught.. he would not have the power to hurt these guys.. And they would serioulsy out reach him...
Floyd is awesome.. But NO ONE is THAT awesome...Comment

He took punches from De La Hoya and wasn't even fazed. So what if he gets a little buzzed from the 1-2 punches Taylor will land on him a round? The only trick is Taylor's jab. If he uses it effectively, Mayweather could be in for a long night.Comment

PBF wins this fight in a similar fashion that he beat DLH by fighting Taylor the same way Spinks fought him. The big difference would be that Floyd would throw the lead right hand and it would find Taylor almost every time. If Spinks would have lead more often, he would have won that fight.
Taylor looked foolish at times against Spinks, imagine what Floyd would make him look like.Comment

that is my thinking. Mayweather is like Spinks except he actually fights and lands meaningful punches.PBF wins this fight in a similar fashion that he beat DLH by fighting Taylor the same way Spinks fought him.
