    Does Taylor have a chance to beat Ward?

    I'd say the only fights that are winnable are this and a Dirrell fight because neither are hard hitting pressure fighters.

    It's not to say hes the favorurite but IMO if he's going to win a fght in this tourny it'll be against either Andre.

    I hope your right, Taylor was one of my favorite fighters, but he's been letting me down in all his last fights, I'm still rooting for Taylor tho, but its gonna be hard to beat Ward after seeing what he did to kessler

      Yeah, I also think that he's got a good shot to do it...IMO the Taylor in the condition of the AA fight would have beaten Froch...

        Anything can happen, but I see Ward winning a UD. Taylor will be trouble in the beginning as always.

          i really dont think taylor has more than a punchers chance. taylor was getting outboxed by abraham in the mid to late rounds. his jab looked really slow and forced against abraham also..i think ward outboxes him and stops him late..ward isnt a big puncher but he has enough power to hurt taylor especially after taylor's last two outings.

            You can't beat what you can't hit.

            JT will get KTFO again if he fought Ward or Dirrell.

              If Taylor is mentally over the AA fight he beats Ward.

                You think?

                I know you've always been high on Taylor but this is a little surprising.

                I think Taylor's got a chance but think ultimately he'll get stopped late from taking too much abuse, or drop a decision something like 8-4.

                  Taylor lost his punch resistance imo. Even light hitters are dangerous. He better step out. Ward can put some hurt on him too.

                    Taylor doesen't have a shot at beating my grandmother at this point in his career. He is shot. I think he needs to retire honestly. He has taken too many beatings and has never been the same since.
