    He had no chance in that fight.

    Lacy however hits MUCH harder than Joppy, has a will to fight, brings A LOT of effective pressure to the table, and is in the prime of his career. Lacy would get to Taylor later in the fight, the only question is...would he be able to do enough damage to take Taylor out? I don't think Lacy would win if it went to the cards.
    Ok fine, he had no chance of beating Taylor, but my point is about styles and ability. Do you think that Lacy is a better defensive fighter than Joppy? Faster? More technically sound in general? The reason Joppy couldn't put anymore pressure on Taylor than he did is because when he even got close, he got nailed. He couldn't even through a punch while in range without being tagged. Do you think that Lacy is going to be able to maintain a better defense than Joppy while putting more pressure and landing more punches than Joppy did? Because IMO, the first few times he comes in and gets tagged, his pressure is going to drop. Taylor may not have huge power, but he has enough to get the respect of a fighter like Lacy

        Exactly this proves my point, with most of the press & the bitching from Bitchkins, he still loses all the polls. Just imagine if most of the press saw the fight like most fans & Bitchkins didn't *****. I think those polls might of been 90% for Taylor. This just shows you the press are bunch of blind dummies. Max Boxing had Morales winning 116-112 against Raheem, also this other site had Morales winning. This is the biggest reason I don't listen to the press, because they are bunch of idiots.

          I guess you need the help of the press, you can't make your own judgment.

            Oh please don't start i am in a much better mood today...I don't need the press but it just backed up what I already thought 115-113 Hopkins and these guys do this for a living you don't and 90% of the people who vote on polls don't....I would have accepted a draw too but Taylor did nothing to earn that victory IMO.Have a nice day and whether you accept or not I don't care but I am sorry for my part in being a ****head yesterday.
