winky's ganna make taylor look worse than he made tito look!
not trying to start an argument, but this is a pretty irrational thing to say, seeing as taylor is in his prime, fighting his natural weight and obviously is not one dimensional, he has great skills
I favor winky because Taylor's style is not all that polished. He did very well against Hopkins but that was because of Hopkin's style. Hopkins carries a fight through the rounds at a slow pace and relies on his dominance of this pace game he plays, he's like a racecar drafting to carry his momentum passed the lead car at the end. Taylor is a good fighter and will be a better one but right now Winky is at the top of his game and is known for his well polished and utylized style.
i call that a young, prospective middleweight in there with a fighter who literally quit in the last few rounds because he just didn't care anymore.
And okay, before anyone else tries to shout out some more technicalities with the 'Taylor's never dominated' comment... i'm sure early on he's had some one-sided wins because of the level of competition, which of course, is not going to be as high when first starting out as a pro. So if you're about to type something such as, "Well, i saw him fight on the undercard of such-and-such in 2001 and he stopped the guy real early, it was like his 3-4th fight", you can save it. He's a young guy, i'm basically covering the last 1-2 years since his name has become known, but also taking nothing away from his wins.

Taylor won every round against Joppy.
After Joppy was knocked down, all he did was run & survive.
