Meldrick Taylor: Hall of Famer?

[jswa17]

I just watched Legendary Night: Chavez vs. Taylor
I feel very sorry for this great fighter.
Got robbed of a fight in Chavez vs. Taylor I and suffers a severe brain damage. His urine was pure blood after the fight!!!
He's not just punchy, I can't understand most of what he says.
His hand speed was amazing. Personally, I thought it was faster than Leonard's. The guy was throwing 8 punch combination in less than 2 seconds!

Does he deserve to be a hall of famer?
I want to hear you guys' opinions. I strongly feel that they guy deserves it, he won the world title, gave great fights with chavez even though he lost, gave many great stories to tell and also controversial, sad ones too.

I hope this guy's making a decent living. Many boxers end up broke after their careers over.
I would've donated some money if there was some kind of foundation.

[JUYJUY]

No, he isn't a Hall of Famer.

[Round 1]

He didn't get robbed, he got KTFO.

Hall of fame Talent...yes

Hall of Famer....no

very sad story. Taylor was incredible early on. He embarrassed the very talented Buddy McGirt and made him look silly. After Chavez he was never the same. He tried to move up in weight, but was too small.

Very sad indeed..I hope he is ok now

wait a minute..If Mancini can get in, why not Taylor?

[brownpimp88]

Taylor will get in for sure, he had a good enough career. Not everyone is gonna have the career of ali.

[Hydro]

Possibly.

The HOF standards are not high in boxing.

[Phantasm]

No..he wont make it. He was never the same after that fight. Had loads of talent though.

do u think julio cesar vasquez and buddy mcgirt are good enough to make it, both of them have beat like 5 good fighters.

Vasquez beat:
carl daniels
winky wright
aaron davis
javier castillejo

He defended his belt 10 times in total and won it on two ocassions. In his prime he only lost twice.

Mcgirt Beat:
frankie warren
simon brown
de leon
oliva
howard davis jr.
mamby

Nah, McGirt was a good fighter, but not a hall of famer, imo. JC Vasquez is a different story tho; I think he will actually make it in, but he's a borderliner. Dont ask me why, though, cuz it's just a feeling I have. I know that sounds ******, but I dunno how to explain it. Just that when I see his stats and some of his fights, there are times that I fell he should and times that I could make the argument against it.

if you judge his career on 1986-2000, vasquez would make it. I dont think his losses from 2001-2006 should count.
