    What is Taylor's fighting style?

    To me I don't think he really has one. He usually fights his opponents style which makes it difficult for him to look good. I know Manny gives him a strategy but I believe Taylor just doesn't execute.

    I think he can look impressive if he applies his gameplan and sticks to it. Like with Spinks run in throw flurries and step back. He only did that a few times but it was successful. That's why I found it hard to believe that he won because he didn't do what was working long enough.

    Taylors fighting style depends on his opponent

          His style is patients, i mean not really **** he only held back for the Spinks fight becuz Spinks kept moving and he didnt wanna extend himself to much and go for broke.......... Look at the Ouma fight he keep comin forward the Winky fight he kept going backwards, the guy fights how his opponent lets him, B_hop was throwin that much so he didnt throw as much maybe more but **** i dont know i still havent seen either fight with X

            taylor is a big middleweight who doesnt fight big. waits too much and doesnt throw many punches. He has a nice jab and straight. doesnt go to body well at all. keeps his hands low.. I dont know his style but I do know he will be exposed in time.. his wins ar almost all contraversial since his 1st fight with hopkins..

              To sum it up he was a puncher/boxer now he is mostly a counter puncher.

              I think he is taking a page out of Hopkins book and playing it safe and hoping that he can win off the rule that the contender has to take the title from him.

              It'd more or less he doesn't have to 'win' the fight he just has to make sure that he doesn't get beat .

                A fighter that's overhyped. That's his style.

                    Who do you think is the favored fighter in Calzaghe/Taylor. I wouldn't be surprised if 90 percent of boxing fans favored Calzaghe to win and the other 10 percent just being taylors fans.
