Its pretty simple realy. I mean right now winky and taylor are the two fighters to beat for middle weights. Now i dont see any fighters who can beat either of them right now. dOES ANYONE SEE ANYBODY WHO COULD BEAT EITHER OR BOTH OF THEM.
off topic- does any one know if its true that herol graham made howard eastman look stupid in the gym in about 01, handled him far easier than hopkins did apparently before tirin & gettin ko'd ? not worth startin a new thread over & could'nt find anywhere else really 2 ask it. any body ?
Herol has been fighting in some unlicensed bouts these last five years as a different charactor with a totally different style, he's all-out offensive these days and refuses to believe that he was once the most all-out defensive, world-class boxer around. It's really strange!
Anyway, from what I've been told Herol peppered Howard for five rounds, two minutes and 30+ seconds before catching a big right hand and tumbling over. They had agreed to spar for six rounds. Some say Howard knocked him clean out but I think that's abit of a myth, Herol went over though (wether it was a slip or not I don't know).
Yeah Taylor doesn't really have good footwork and is sometimes off balance. If he would have stayed in the middle of the ring I think he would have beaten Winky by a split decision. Winky's crazy to think he was robbed. I don't care who Taylor fights next as long as he gets in the ring. His fights(besides the 2 Hopkins fights) aren't boring.
taylor is an odd fighter.
they point out time and time again, how amature-ish taylor is. his stance is off-balance and his footwork is sloppy at times.
But he gets away with it all the time because of his power and ring smarts.
I think taylors resume is ALREADY enough to get him into the hall of fame. lol. If he beats WInky in a rematch, and then demolishes OUMA. Maybe if he could beat IKE QUARTEY or VERNON FORREST or something, he would be a HOF shoe-in.
i mean, there are no other great fighters for him to beat. hes already fought the best that there was for him.
I think Frank Warren and Joe Calzaghe are making yet another mistake... at the very least make some offers at these two gentleman (Wright and Taylor).
Look what Bernard Hopkins legacy and wallet did after beating up Felix Trinidad and Oscar...the blueprint is there-Frank Warren...wake the fuck up and get some money/offers together.
Joe is bigger then both men, stronger then both men, faster then both men...wake the fuck up, its a natural!
not worth it for exactly those reasons, if calz stops them in three rounds each peeps would just say that they were blown up middles & should'nt of been fightin a big supermiddle any way & take away from the victory
calz would knock them both out i belive

They both have the potential to beat each other, but other than that, they are on a different level then the rest of the division.
i AGREE. I think that if they fought ten times each would win 5. And they are deffanently on a different level. winky wright beat some of the best fighters with ease and actualy played with them. No one can compete with these two. they are fricken invinceable. lol.

I hope Miranda makes some noise someday but at the moment it does not look like anyone really can beat either of them except of course Winky can beat Taylor and did in my eyes.
