If so neither was Leonard when he fought at middlewieght, and SSM wasn't comming off 3 years retirement, but he was just an example of somebody who was fast and threw good combinations that was still not enough to beat Winky or even come close, but he is a little smaller than Leonard and thats why this fight would be closer. BTW I am not saying Leonard would lose hands down I just think Winky would get the best of him, but I could easily see the big hearted and even more talented Leonard pulling off a well earned victory.
You know...I don't have any expectations of Taylor anymore...I honestly dont know what the fwock happened to the kid. I S*** you not...since HBO started pumping money up his a** crack...he aint been worth S*** pumpin out of a gooses a**.

Really.

Look back through Taylors career & youll see some serious fights from Taylor. Some very clean decisive wins & some heavy handed TKO's. It's either the fact that he stepped up the opp...or he's just fallen the fwock off mentally.

I say it;s the latter.

Also...back to the bulk of this post...no way that Taylor can compete against the fantastic three.

Hagler, Leonard, or Hearns would eat his a** alive. Taylor starts that backin out S***...not throwing on the back foot...just pedalin...he's out.
Its kind of double standards because he did hold his own against Winky who could compete with all three of these guys. IMO Taylor might not have that special ko gift, but he is strong enough and fast enough to compete with maybe any fighter. I mean he hasn't won IMO, but he has held his own against Hopkins and Winky, and though Hopkins was old he had beaten everybody for a very long time very decisively until he fought Taylor.
