      I'm not a huge fan of taylor. But I want to see him do good because I know where he came from. I live in the same city as he did. I know the area he came from and its nice to see someone from that area come out and be successful. There is probably a thousand more stories just like his from that same area and none of them get a chance to overcome, or dont take it.

        Pavlik needs to KO or TKO Taylor. But with his Steward enhanced decision winning super powers Taylor cannot be counted out.

        Calzaghe is way, way too fast and precise for Taylor to ever catch.

          Paper generics, Elitesoldier.

          Who's stock is higher right now; Taylor or Hopkins?

          Hopkins is a legend and I find more nutritional value viewing him in action than Taylor.. But that's just my preference.

            I do not see him as being that much faster than Taylor, if your talking about beating to the punch.

              Calzaghe isn't especially fast.

              He flurries very quick and fluid combinations - but as I've pointed out before the speed of one Calzaghe individual shot is not at all exceptional.

                Calzaghe is faster than Taylor in every respect. He's quicker in countering, moving to an angle and I defy you to say he has less precision than Taylor in punching.

                Don't hate because Calzaghe's white. I'm not and I don't.

                  For Taylor to catch what? On points/scoring or catch with a punch?

                  Calzaghe is WAY too fast for Taylor offensively???

                    I'm white! I know joe punches faster, but to me it just seems like hes less effective with one punch than taylor. Joe throws a barage of punches with less meaning behind them as taylor slows them down a bit and tries to get more on them and place them better.

                      Correct. On all counts.
