    Floyd Mayweather vs Meldrick Taylor: Who Wins, and Why?

    Thoughts. Opinions. Tell me the whole story of the fight if you like.

    (To be clear, this is the Floyd of the Gatti days against Taylor when he was pre-Chavez. Maybe even up to round 12 of Chavez I.)

    I'm not sure there are enough of these fantasy fights on here; too many "modern superstar vs modern superstar" threads for my liking. I included one here to wean people off though.

    Meldrick Taylor

    I think Taylor would have won, he has speed and knows how to box, he stood toe to toe with chavez and pretty much beat him the whole fight except the last 2 or 3. Meldrick will rough up mayweather, look what was going on with zab vs mayweather. zab was beating mayweather to the punch and the beggining of the fight.

              taylor would have beaten mayweather, if not given him a run for his money.

                My own personal pick would be a little like a rerun of the Judah fight, but with Floyd taking just that little bit more time to work out Taylor because Taylor's sounder technically than Judah, leading to a razor-thin decision for TNT. But then again, I've just watched the full Floyd-Marquez fight on youtube over again and it's hard to go against Floyd over anyone. But I'll stick with Meldrick here.

                  Floyd picks him apart,probably would be similar to how the Judah fight went.

                    TNT had faster hands and activity levels than Floyd. He would have given Floyd all he could handle and unlike Zab Judah he wouldn't just stop fighting and watch.

                    With that said, Floyd is a master boxer and he would have figured out Taylor after a few rounds, walked him down and won a UD.
