His speed and punching power combined would hurt Taylor badly and stop him, especially since Taylor loves to keep that left hand down. And yes Virgil Hill and Montell Griffin are better fighters than Taylor. Griffin had two close wins over James Freakin Toney! And even in old age went the distance with Tarver. KO'n him in his prime is an accomplishment, considering how good he was defensively.
I hear what you're saying Hulk but I disagree. Virgil Hill and Montell Griffin were not better fighters than Jermaine Taylor. And what it is that Taylor has shown you that he's even come close to being seriously hurt. I'm not saying Roy couldn't, I'm saying he wouldn't. Roy didn't like to get hit. He would have absolutely no reason to mix it up with Taylor. If he wouldn't have landed that body shot on Hill he would have won a UD. Those perfect shots have alot to do with luck. Roy never had an asassin type mentality, he had a boxer's mentality.
