Dave Taylor greater than Jonah Lomu?

Maybe you should do some research before making such ridiculous claims.

Lomu is 128kg, 196cm and can run 100m in 10.8 seconds.

Taylor is 115kg, 185cm and is about as slow as molasses.

At his peak, Lomu could have flattened Dave Taylor.

There is no doubt Shane Williams has talent but the fact remains, he is a midget. Ask yourself these simple questions, Who would you rather tackle? Who would you rather be tackled by? The true sadness around the legend that is or was Johna is that his career was cut short by a very serious illness. There is no doubt that had he been able to play to his full capacity and had an International career even half as long as Shane Williams or the likes of Howlet or Rocococo - no record would have been left unbroken. Just so you know, All Blacks currently have a young man playing on the blindside who has the explosive power, ability to step both ways and run through any current international winger - quietly going under the radar at the minute playing in number 6. Moved almost secretly into a super 14 side after demolishing all at R7WC and promoted to All black squad without any fuss, fan fare or drama, being groomed to explode in 2011. He sits on the bench for 70 mins each test and when he does come on he is only running defensive sets, once he starts playing half games and has a chance to be involved in offense movements and supported by the All Black back three, NZ will have the strongest blindside attack ever assembled, he will be a try scoring machine - In 13 months time all others will fear the rise of Victor Vito. Could this be the second coming?

If you are comparing Taylor with Lomu at rugby, Taylor doesn;t count, as he is a League player. When or rather if he ever plays rugby at Test level, then you can compare.

Until then, who was/is best, is simply a guess ... just an opinion. Lomu has actually done it, Taylor hasn;t.

And none of that is saying he is not a good League player. He is. But that is not the question. Question .... where was it? The post was a comment.

Jonah Lomu was very talented when it came to rugby but i think that what also assisted his portrayal in society is that Rugby had only just became a professional sport and that there weren't much skilled opposing teams. Jonah was seen as the bulldozer because in NZ rugby had been played well before it became interesting and his cultural background plays part in his solid build.

Johan Lomu was a legend in his day and proved this on the world stage a number of times.

Dave Taylor is a talented player in a different code and yet to provide evidence of his skills, time will only tell, but what concerns me is how you measure these chaps and make such statements.

just a size and speed comparison

Jonah Lomu- 125kgs, ran the 100 in 10.8

Dave Taylor - 124kgs, ran the 100 in 11 flat

Doesn't take a Kiwi to point out your off your rocker.

This is top three stupidest opinion I've come across on YA congrats!

They play in two different codes or didn't you know that.

And in league, what has Taylor done except have a couple of good games. Sheesh!

Dave who?
