      Mayweather fighting Taylor like he did against Judah would be giving Taylor is greatest chance of victory.Taylor was far too fast,far too busy and far too consistent to fight at close quarters.Mayweather could time him with the right hand,but it took someone like Terry Norris to really discourage and hurt Taylor.Mayweather simply doesn't have that type of power.




      If Mayweather wins,it will be through footwork and distance.Meldrick Taylor really needed to have his feet set to really be effective;when an opponent maintained distance and boxed him(Taylor) from the outside,they'd cause him alot of problems.Due to such a short reach,Taylor would often find himself lunging and reaching for opponents who fought him this way




      Probably a fight that would see Taylor enjoy a strong start,with Mayweather eventually making the correct adjustments and winning a competitive but clear decision.

        Why?Taylor and Judah are two completely different boxers. Zab is one of the best fighters in the world for 4 rounds until he has his mental breakdowns, so i wouldn't say it was Mayweather "adjusting". Taylors hands were much faster than Judahs, he was much busier and had great condition. That comparison is off. I highly recommend watching Taylor vs Mgirt, he was at his best.

          Meldrick Taylor vs Floyd Mayweather would be a great fight. I'd say a 12 round decision in favor of Mayweather.

          MT's fight with Chavez was insane....especially the last few seconds of that fight. I don't know if it was because I wanted Chavez to win at that time or Richard Steele f'd it up for Taylor but that fight was great.
