Does Taylor have a chance to beat Ward?

[The_Demon]

its all about styles make fights therefore i think he can still give ward trouble
although i see S.O.G winning a close but clear decision

I rooted for Taylor too much. He better hang up them gloves soon before he wont even know who the hell he is anymore. Hell no he doesnt have a chance with anyone in the tournament. Both Andre's beat his ass. Did you not see how stiff ya boy was when Abe landed that punch. You could of pulled out some wrinkley shirt and ironed it on his face. Thats how stiff he was. Hang it up.

Taylor [B]had [B] what it took to beat Ward but after this last KO loss, I dont think he has the confidence, mental focus or killer instinct required to win against Ward.

[Jim Jeffries]

I think Taylor had the hardest draw of the tournament and might possibly go 0-3 vs Abraham, Ward and Kessler. But yes, he does have a chance against Ward. If he stays in and if he fights the right fight.

Ward isn't a big ko puncher but hits hard enough to stop Taylor....Taylor in my view doesn't have the physical and technical advantages like he had against Froch for ex.......anything could happen but don't think he will win against Ward and his chances are slim.

[Mr. Philadel]

I don't think he has a chance.....I think JT is done as a top level fighter!!....Ward is hungry.....hungry like Pavlik was, hungry like Froch is and hungry like Abe is.....hungry fighters feast on JT!!!

I kind of feel like the Abraham fight was his last chance to prove himself. I mean he revamped his training, did everything he was supposed to, and still got KO'ed. How can he have any confidence left? Ward on the other hand is glowing with confidence and as he says "it's his time".

It if does happen it could be a descent match, I don't think Taylor would get blown out but I wouldn't pick him at this point. I could see Ward's left hook off of the right hand finding a home as it did against Kessler since Taylor likes to pull back with with gloves up and Abraham was going around the gloves with his hook and often landed.

Dangerous fight for Ward. But I'm glad. Assuming Taylor is the same version we saw in his last two bouts, it'll be a great test of Ward's chin and fortitude. Styles makes fights and I'm still not sure if Ward has the kind of style that can overcome any other--which is what makes the elite...well, elite.

Wanna put your 150k on Taylor? Pm me if you want to bet. Amount is negotiable.

One thing I've noticed about Ward is that he prepares well for every fight - physically and mentally.

The Ward team completely analyzed Kessler - they weakened his strengths (jab : power : footwork) and exploited his weaknesses (went to the body : attacked him whilst he was on the back foot : fought on the inside).

I see the Ward team completely dissecting Taylor:

- exploiting the body / chest as he lacks stamina

- and repetitively going for the chin all night long

I like and respect Taylor but he should retire. There's no point putting yourself up as a lamb for slaughter.
