Does Taylor have a chance to beat Ward?

[Mighty_Windir]

Yes he does, his jab is what mantained Hopkins at bay and he can do the same to Ward, but I can see Ward outboxing him because he has excellent skills.

Ward's KO rate isn't that high, he needs to box from the outside - if he does he could probably out point him.

[Glamour Puss]

Taylor struggles w/ boxers.

Think of it like this. If he struggles w/ a smaller Spinks ( a fight that I thought he lost) when he was prime, how can he beat Ward who is bigger and boxes as good as Spinks w/ more power?

Your right but Wards jab is much faster.

[Walterson]

I also see Ward making this a 'fast paced' fight, in the later rounds that will have a big effect on Taylors stamina.

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.


Your thoughts?

Of course, well have 2 superior atheletes competing in the same ring. He should cope with Wards tactics better than Miranda/Kessler.
