Chavez-Taylor III?

[Fox McCloud]

To be honest... Mayweather-Hatton sort of seems like all this fight. Undefeated... a boxer and a swarming body punching.

I don't know... does anyone (who goes back that far) think this fight is as big as that one was in pre-fight hype?

No, Chavez and Taylor were warriors who went toe-to-toe, trading shots with each other until both of them nearly died (literally). Mayweather will most likely outbox Hatton until Hatton gets frustrated or something along those lines. We'll have to see when the fight comes around.

I didn't know Taylor was always a throw down fighter... I thought that was just his downfall in this fight.

Meldrick Taylor sort of sounds like Vernon Forrest when I hear him described.

Taylor was an exceptional boxer, but because of his fighting background in Philly just loved to mix it up. He couldn't box for an entire fight, because at some point he would get hit and then start trading very much like Evander Holyfield in that respect. That's what made them so exciting to watch. Both had so much heart, too much for their own good.

Not in hype, but if anything.. Mosley and Cotto is more along the lines of Chavez/Taylor.. This fight is something around Leonard/Hagler.. Not exactly, but closer to that. (I'm not talking skill level, good or bad for any fighter, just the way it looks on paper, to me, personally.)
