    IMO, he hasn't, yet.
    He's fighting the hardest guy to look good against in the sport of boxing, and he fought the second hardest guy to look good against in his last two fights, and won. And the guy he beat just went on to utterly dominate the recognized LHW champ.

    It's easy to SHOW IT when you fight losers and guys coming off major losses to other fighters. When Mayweather fought Castillo, most thought he lost the first and won the second. But he was far from impressive in either fight.

    Taylor could go out and fight some of Hopkins left-overs (Eastman, Hakkar, whoever) and dominate them in a way that would make your head spin, but he's not about showcase fighting, he's a champion and wants to fight the best, and sometimes in order to beat defensive, slow-pace counterpunchers, you can't look that impressive. Hopkins is one of the toughest guys to beat in the sport. Taylor did it twice. I don't think he should be penalized in a P4P list because he wants to fight the best and does what it takes to beat the best.

    Taylor is a credit to boxing, and the sport would be light-years ahead of where it is now if every fighter had his desire to fight the best, before and after winning championships. There is no fighter in the sport I respect more than Taylor right now, whether he can beat Winky or not, that's a fight that most champions in his position simply would not take.

        Wrong, Most people feel Taylor won both fights, while a Minority (Hopkins fans) feel Hopkins won, 5 out of 6 judges scored for Taylor in the 2 fights, and 65% voted in the espn poll that taylor won the fight, and that is the biggest poll on the internet, which had over 10000 votes

              I'll still have Mayweaher at the #1 slot, but I'd listen to argumets from those who thought Taylor (or Wright for that matter), deserved the slot.

              My P4P top 3 after Saturday night will probably look like:

              1 - Mayweather
              2 - Taylor/Wright winner
              3 - Pacquiao

                If Taylor beats Winky fair and square there is no reason why he shouldn't be #1. Number 2 at the absolute lowest.

                  If he beats Winky, he deserves #2...

                  He dosen't have the career resume of a dominant Pretty Boy Floyd..

                    Taylor is in my top 3, if he wins I will put him #2. PBF should be #1 until he loses, just like Hopkins was.

                    As of this moment I have PBF, Pac & Taylor in my top 3. A win over Winky will move Taylor #2 & Pac to 3.

                      After he beats Winky yes he will. I thought he was gonna beat Winky before, and with Steward in his corner Im even more confident he will win.
