He does not land punches, he slaps, he lacks excitement... All charges some feel Taylor is guilty of; the exact same charges, that led to Winky disappearing from the States for long periods, and travelling the globe, in search of fights.

But at the grand age (for a world class boxer) of 34, it is suddenly became in vogue to appreciate the skills of Wright, that some have been enjoying for over 10 years now.

Taylor is only 27, and yet still has '0' despite fights with the likes of Hopkins and Winky.

Rather than appreciate his talent when he is in mid 30s, and hark back to the days, when he was fighting the likes of Hopkins and Wright, perhaps it is time for some people to realise Taylor is very much for real. He may lack the flash of Mayweather and the respect given to Wright and Barrera, but have no doubt, as we speak, he is very much their equal...

Taylor is as good as boxing gets in 2006 IMO.
