Oh fuck how do I edit the poll

nah at least is forces a discussion instead of just click and leave.

i would favour mel. fast hands, workrate and a good educated brain. i think could make the more negative, oyster styled fighter just get outhustled out of fight. not becuase starling is better. but he usually won by countering and pressuring while not wasting much energy. even though mel may through plenty of punches i have never seen him tired in a fight he just lets his hands go. when he did lose he was usually broken down by hard punchers. andi dont think marly is doing it...

I pick Meldrick to win on speed. Starling was good but when he fought a guy with speed he was neutralized since the guy could reach him easier than they normally could.

fail

You fail. This is a good matchup.

Personally I'd take Starling. I think his strength would eventually wear Mel down at 147... but the Davis version of Taylor still had a good amount left in the tank, and theres a chance he could outpoint Starling.

Starling by decision, if he's focused. If not, then it's Taylor's fight.

easy fight to pick- super busy Taylor outhustles the super lazy Starling

[Sweet Pea]

I'd favor the more proven and natural Welterweight in Starling to neutralize Taylor's shoe-shine punches with his defense and counter him with the more precise shots.
