But the thing about Taylor was that he didn't do any of that often, he liked to fight chest to chest and he would beat Kostya because he wouldn't give Kostya ground, you can't really call Meldrick Taylor a "boxer" he did box occassionally but then he got bored and slugges it out. And I think him pressuring Kostya would do its damage and he would beat Kostya late.
Good points but I thought the thread was based on how he boxed JCC,and he became tired from JCC banging to the body. IF he did try to stand his ground,Kostya would knock him out even earlier,Taylor does not have the pressure game to hurt Kostya like Phillips and Hatton,I mean they were on Tszyu alllllllll night.
