could taylor have knocked out winky wright if he was more aggresive?

A monster that couldn't drop a 41 year old man. He came as close as anyone has to doing it.

Trinidad destroyed Joppy by brutal KO. Taylor although he won barely wobbled Joppy. Joppy ran like a scared hamster that entire fight with Taylor. But who cares - that's not my point. My point is that Taylor is a big strong middleweight who punches hard, very hard. Trinidad was a bulked up middleweight who punched pretty hard, but not like Taylor. If you ask me who the better fighter is/was, that's an entirely different question.

And Taylor fought Joppy years later, after he was damaged by Trinidad. you know Hopkins, couldn't ko joppy either, hopkins hit joppy with everything but the kitchen sink and didn't ko joppy. so why the bs about taylor not being able to ko joppy?

A monster that couldn't drop a 41 year old man. so does that make taylor look bad, or does this tell us more about hopkins? taylor did wobble hopkins

yes, taylor could have ko'd winky. and i think when and if they fight again, i'll still pick taylor by a ko. what taylor doesn't have is awareness when his opponet is hurt and then go after him. many times winky looked like a bobble head, everytime taylor hit winky his whole body shock. and when i say awareness, it means killer instinct. But don't get me wrong, many times he pushed for a ko, though this is good, he errod when he didn't go after winky when winky was stunned which was a few times. the eye defently give him problems, but he was in no danger cause winky would not challenge/target the eye because winky was so worried of taylors shots or what he could get in return if he went specificly for the eye. taylors jab existed only in the later rounds and it was very effective, yet he didn't use it in the first half of the rounds. "could taylor ko winky?" hells yes! WINKY DID EVERYTHING HE COULD DO! TAYLOR COULD DO SO MUCH MORE! and thats the biggest difference for the rematch if theirs one. Taylor already saw everything winky can do and bring to a fight, but winky didn't see everything taylor can do in a fight.

That's complete pile of crap. No way does a natural welter/junior-middle like Tito hit harder than a super big middleweight like Taylor. Tito was a monster at welter, Taylor IS a monster at middleweight. Trinidad destroyed Joppy by brutal KO. Taylor although he won barely wobbled Joppy.

Trinidad hit 10X harder than Taylor does and Trinidad couldn't drop Hopkins, what makes you think Taylor could? Don't forget that "Tito" was in his prime when B-Hop schooled his ass.

if u notice in the first round when he came out sort of aggresive he was knocking wright all across the ring..even with punches that hit his gloves moves wright still got moved..i think if taylor is more aggresive he can drop winky wright or defiently knock him out Definitely not. He was moving Wright but he wasn't hurting him. Even when he hit him flush, which he did a few times, he didn't seem to hurt him all that much. I do not think he could KO Wright.

if u notice in the first round when he came out sort of aggresive he was knocking wright all across the ring..even with punches that hit his gloves moves wright still got moved..i think if taylor is more aggresive he can drop winky wright or defiently knock him out taylor was not only much more agressive then normal but he was throwin nonstop the first half of the fight he hit winky with everything he had i dont think he could have KOd wright but he def hurt winky alot more then tito did

yea he might not have as much punching power as ppl say he does..but he sure was moving winky wright around the ring with punches that his his arms and gloves..a aggresive taylor could have dropped hopkins and wright Trinidad hit 10X harder than Taylor does and Trinidad couldn't drop Hopkins, what makes you think Taylor could? Don't forget that "Tito" was in his prime when B-Hop schooled his ass.

nope no matter how much hbo made it sound like winky was out on his feet he wasent even close to getting knock out

if u notice in the first round when he came out sort of aggresive he was knocking wright all across the ring..even with punches that hit his gloves moves wright still got moved..i think if taylor is more aggresive he can drop winky wright or defiently knock him out On another night perhaps, but not last saturday. No way in hell.

yea he might not have as much punching power as ppl say he does..but he sure was moving winky wright around the ring with punches that his his arms and gloves..a aggresive taylor could have dropped hopkins and wright Thats because he is bigger than Winky.

I don't think so. That was some tight defense. Too bad Wright has not punch.....

you know how ppl say there are no such things as stupid questions....this thread proves that sayin wrong completely.

I think the question of could is always a maybe. None of us can say this guy can't get knocked out or this guy can't do it. But in this case it wasn't likely as stated because Winky is too slick and defensive to be caught like that much. But I do believe Taylor's punches were definitely starting to hurt.

There's no way Wright would KO Taylor, ever. Taylor was so unwary of Wright's punches that he allowed himself to get hit in the corner. It was dumb, but it shows Taylor's lack of respect for Wright's power. I also notice the stamina factor again when it comes to Manny Steward's fighters. Taylor should have been able to throw more punches. Either he overtrained, forgets to breathe when he punches, or he just naturally has a slight stamina problem. But yes, Taylor could stop Wright. He just has to be smarter about his punches and not tire himself out.

Never !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
