Meldrick Taylor vs Amir Khan at 140, who wins?

[badnewsbrown]

Taylor - no contest

[New England]

you guys are talking about meldrick taylor like he's a god and he wasnt

he had terrific talents and hiding under some of his flaws was a potential great and a great talent, but he was not a great professional boxer.

he was easy to hit with big shots in exchanges
he wouldn't box when it was in his best interest
he'd dispense with his jab (along with his footwork it was a serious weapon,)
and he'd stand in front of a guy


all of that being said, he still beats amir khan.

Agreed 100%. He was very fun to watch though. Never forget the way he took Buddy McGirts soul

He was flawed and I always say that people talking about how he was some future ATG in the making are off-base (he was too small, brawl-happy, and modest punching power for a strong WW division, and he had problems making 140).....but he was still far better than Khan.

[Marcov]

Taylor in a one sided drubbing.

[Thread Stealer]

Declined Taylor at 147 still beats Khan.

Khan would've gotten his ass kicked too by Espana. And wouldn't have beaten Davis or Brown (the lesser of the Browns at welterweight at that time).

A couple things
meldrick was a wall ready to crumble after chavez Sr.
any version of Taylor beats kahn
Taylor had both speed power and the footwork iq to beat kahn in any situation

same, and you don't need great speed to beat khan. ask danny garcia

[Spray_resistant]

Taylor by ko in less than 5, if he fought Chavez I would say Chavez gets rid of him in 1 or 2.

[blacraven]

Taylor would destroy khan.
I just saw Meldric thursday.
He has a book out titled:
"2 Seconds From Glory"
Its an awsome read.
