^Exactly! His chin has not been tested. He gets off some good combos though. I like the way he puts his punches together but Trinidad or Bernard will be too much for him. They have too much experience for Taylor.

He's got what it takes to easily outbox Trinidad.
And it looks like he has the youth advantage if he were to fight Hopkins.
De La Hoya made Hopkins look old, and De La Hoya wasn't even a real middleweight.

I think he's got a good shot at beating Hopkins.
And this is coming from a person who wasn't big on Taylor.
But he's made me a believer with his last 3 fights.
People ask, well how come he didn't knock Joppy out?
Joppy went into survival mode the moment he realized he just couldn't beat Taylor.
It is very difficult to knock a fighter out when he chooses to go in survival mode.
Even though he didn't finish Joppy off, he beat him even easier than Hopkins and Trinidad did.

The only flaw I see in Taylor's game right now might be his confidence.
He seems too respectful of his opponents, even when he's handing their asses to them.
