Meldrick Taylor - Legendary Hand Speed 

MAN. Taylor has one of my favorite styles of fighting.

Does anyone think Taylor deserves to be in the HOF. I personally do.

terrific fighter love his fluidity in his hand speed

Needs to be a movie on his life. MT was an amazing fighter and story...and a tragic one at that. Truly a tale of how a great Philly fighter lost his prime overnight in a fight where his heart was just a little bit just by seconds, too much for his body to keep up with. Stylistically, a favorite of mine!

HOF need to let him in. He paid the ultimate price in the ring for us fans!!! Fastest hands ever!!

If Taylor hand picked all his opponents he woulda been undefeated at 60-0! Taylor fought EVERYONE!

1:48 Insane speed

One of many greats to come outta Philly

Prime Taylor and Prime Camacho were the fastest fighters I ever saw in my lifetime

my respects to this prodigy.

Respect to Taylor. Fought everyone, never "pick and choose" opponents. This is what set him apart from fighters like Mayweather. Floyd protected his record by fighting who he wanted, when he wanted at the weight he wanted. Sorry but the world knows this. Taylor, Leonard, Tyson they all have loses because to be the best, you must fight the best. A lost to a great boxer counts more than 10 wins to an ok boxer or a boxer who's prime has passed.

Meldrick Taylor a true Warrior 💯

He was a young phenom. He won Olympic gold medal at 17. He beat guys like Buddy when he was at his best. The Chavez fight was sad. Winning on points, got dropped, when Richard Steele, finished counting, there was 4 seconds on the clock, Chavez was NOT IN A NEUTRAL CORNER. If Steele sent Chavez to a neutral corner like he should have, the bell would have rung, history would have been different. SHRUGS.

If Taylor didn't have the philly heart, his career would have lasted a lot longer. You don't see speed like his every day but his willingness to engage in punch exchanges when he had no serious punching power was his biggest demise. Guy had the speed, the foot work and the heart. Just too much heart though.

I just love the fact that you guys put Black and Yellow for this camp's highlight rail.😂😂😂😂😂

the more I watch your videos, the more I like you,your channel,boxing,training,thank you for this channel)

Taylor a truely gifted boxer with outstanding blinding hand and foot speed.the quickest boxer in history legendary Taylor.

Meldrick was an exceptional talent it's just too bad no one was looking out for his best interests. The Chavez fight should have been stopped by the ringside doctor and/or his corner after rd 10 (his face was really swollen) And his promoter and manager should not have let him get back in the ring less than 5 months after the Chavez fight. He should have at least taken 8 months off to heal properly. Then just two years later he's fighting Terry Norris for the 154lb title? His body frame was that of a lightweight.

Another Duva fighter than ended up broke n punch-drunk. Kid was never the same after the beat down eternally by Chavez.

Yeah man that dude had some serious speed! I remember watching some of these bouts live. Especially when he beat my hometown favorite Buddy McGirt. That hurt that day couldn't believe what I was seeing. Still hats off to Taylor that day he beat Buddy to the punch almost all night.

Never heard anything about the guy before he's a beast, Great video bro.

This has so much action so amazing

I LOVED TAYLOR.LOOKING BACK MONDAY QB in a slight decrease in that super speed and finish punches a little better. HE WAS VERY ATHLETIC AND BANGED.DEF A FANS FIGHTER.

Meldrick had a Great era to box it was such a brutal exciting era of boxing He was Great

Underrated unique style,energy

Taylor with the right corner could have been among the best of all time! Duva didn't care for his fighters and pushed till they got hurt and now they are ill and broke! He should have been made to box and not slug!!!

What a fighter he was ese

A great boxer...amazing speed hands...My favorite boxing fighter😎👌🏼💯

Pernell Whitaker vs Meldrick Taylor !Fantasy Fight¡

Legend

What a brilliant talent Meldrick was

I got to chill with taylor , he let me wear his sunglasses and gave me boxing knowledge , he was funny in person , real life of the party type guy , very humble

Very nice video, salute!!!

Amazing speed

dam shame this kid wasn't handled better def was 1of the better lb4lb fighters out there with better management he def would've been top 5 greatest fighters of all time this kid had it all speed&power&style&finess#ring smarts&heart def 1 of the fighters 2watch if you want to study boxing

Taylor is really cool in person

hey haNZAgod, love this guy. If you had to pick 3 boxers to compare him to, who would you choose?

The first boxer I saw throw a 1000 punches in punch stats

One of the best of the world no doubt

love the speed. he got broken down by Chavez tho. got too brave and kept getting caught with monstrous shots all night. what an amazing fighter

GRAN BOXEADOR MERECÍA SER EL SIGUIENTE GRAN CAMPEÓN, PERO TUVO LA MALA SUERTE DE PELEAR CON EL CÉSAR DEL BOXEO CUANDO ESTABA EN SU MERO MOLE

Very talented boxer

this man didn't have the punching power, but he had the speed to tag you and tag you repetedly to make you weaker and weaker every round.

Como olvidar cuando Julio César Chávez lo noqueó

Black n gold (yellow) great somg for Taylor.. iykyk

Exciting style can you make a longer video?

Can u make a highlight video of carlos zarate? i havent seen any good highlights of him and urs is one of the best. oh and btw subscribed :)

He was Godly, sad to know what happened to him

Wow. So Sorrowful, of a 4'gotten Legend.

0:29 meldrick got to chavez's body good with the right hook and left hook to the body

Btw could you do a Buddy McGirt? He was a awesome fighter in his day. He was over looked much of his career. Very technical good speed and power. He was a crafty guy when he wanted to be. Even though the those 2 speed demons Whitaker and Taylor got him. He was a overlooked talent....in my opinion.

Can u do a Keith Thurman highlight

1:54 Daaaaamn!

He had speed but lacked power but could knock someone out with is amazing speed if he had speed and power he would be a god

He's a mini Mike Tyson

His defense could've been a little better but other then that he was NASTY.

Wonderful talent!! He should've had his victory against Chavez.

is the video sped up even a little bit?

Would've loved to see him fight Mosely.

Only the best ever stop this men chavez

The third most fastest boxer in the history

What separates the men from the boys is round 13,14,15.They no longer have 15 rounds and Taylor would probably only make it to 12 rounds !

Joshua apparently has taken a lot of his more recent style from the Taylor model #salute

my cat if he was a fighter:

damn a Bruce Lee of the boxing

1:55 boom beautiful

Manny Pacquiao Vs Meldrick Taylor/ Shane Mosley Vs Meldrick Taylor

He could have been one of the best, but was never the same after Chavez, so sad...

I find it absolutely insane that Roy Jones Jr at 175 lb was faster than Mildred Taylor at 140! 😳

He reminds me of the Homie... Rashuee Warren... BabyPit from Ohio

Tu papa julio cesar chavez

Him and gamboa are very similar

Nona, Taylor got kayoed not robbed!!! Deal with it!!!!

y they playing wiz he from philly should b playing meek beanie vinny but im from pgh so it all good

Imo fastest hands I have ever seen.

his ability to put them together so fast is on the verge of superhuman never seen anybody have that type of fast twitch muscle maybe Roy Jones at his best its God given ability. can't learn this

Taylor beats chavez unofficially but in exchange for that was a career ending beatdown. Theres a clip in reels where mike said in his podcast that the fights were fixed when he was still fighting like the refs are already fixed to help him, I cant find the link but I think he was high while explaining that. Also lets add the fact that the episode in hbo boxing legendary nights chavez vs taylor, there were also speculations about richard steele and don king in fixed fights, and tyson was under don king around this time. Fixed or not, but because of their gameplan, the refs call for stopping the fight was just about right, shouldve been early like before reaching championship rounds, he shoudlve let the doctors check taylor if he was still okay to go. Its sad that his best fight went down that way. A true HOF, olympic gold medalist high rated pro 💪💯🏆

Mini Mike tyson

Atg

young taylor vs, pretty boy at his prime who wins?

Me dio lastima cómo terminó después de la derrota que tuvo con chavez

Easy work

Le faltó inteligencia para rematar la pelea con Chávez

Sucks that Chavez beat the words out if him because he couldn't respond to the ref and was never the same after

khan vs him...who is faster ?

Shame richard steele stopped the fight with chavez too early

Tbh he won that fight against Chavez, all he had to do was answer the ref and he would’ve won, sad what happened to him after

meldrick taylor leading on points and getting rocked out by julio chavez late,killed his career.some fighters can bounce back,others cant.

I'm Mexican I know j.c. chavez won but my boy taylor got those ghetto hands (fast as fuck) must of been a pain for chavez to counter him lol

LOL...yes, legendary until he met legendary heavy handed JC Chavez...He was a great boxer though, can't take that away from him.

Meldrick was a tremendous fighter, shame the Chavez fight ruined his career, but no shame in losing to a legend. Also no shame in having a draw with Howard Davis Jr. who wasn't as fast as he was in his prime when he fought Taylor, but still had enough skill to give Taylor fits.

Habrá Sido rápido...pero eso no le basto contra chavez .. que ni siquiera lo despeino..

its kinda fucked he lost that ceasar fight. honestly why can a ref choose to stop a fight with 20 secs. and just choose the winner hate it that their arent two extra refs like their are judges. refs have too much power. can allow one fighter to fight dirty or lose the fight off of a single knockdown with giving a count.

No offence but most of his punches look weak, lacking power. He punches from his elbows as you would see in amateur bouts, which provide speed but reduce power. Also he has only 20 KOs in 47 matches so I am pretty convinced he sacrificed his power for speed.

Taylor won that fight. Steele stole it from him. Worst ref ever.

Chavez whooped that ass

Chavez acabo con el y lo dejo tontito

Horrible music.

dude was fast but didn't have much punching power Pacquiao would've wreaked Chavez
