Why is meldrick taylor still fighting?

Did anyone see the chavez-taylor show after the gatti-leija fight? I remember watching that fight knew that taylor had left some part of him in the ring that night. he was never really the same after it. but whats up with him still fighting being in the condition he is in. He'S FIGHTING BECAUSE HE WANTS TOO (DUH) AND HE'S TOO FUCKING STUPID TO REALIZE THAT HIS EGGS HAVE BEEN SCRAMBLED AND HE SHOULD TAKE THAT JANITORS JOB AT PIGGLY WIGGLY.........

i would think.. that if he hadnt lost the chavez bout... he wouldnt be the way he is...

To see such a fast, flashy fighter turn into that is just disheartening. I hate watching that particular legendary nights episode. It kills me each time I hear his speech now.

yea sad story but thats the downside of boxing

Yeah, I felt pretty bad seeing him like that, and still talking about being a superstar, that's just messed up.

what are you talking about theres is many ways to pay bills. what good is it going to do you to pay bills if you are a vegtable. What do you mean what am I talking about? I thought it was pretty clear what i was saying. I know there are other ways to survive, and I agree that he should of retired long ago. Fact is he got licensed to make money the only way he knew how at any expense. They say the last thing to go is a fighters power, I say the last to go is a fighters pride.

it was sad to see him such bad condition

thats what im saying thats just seems messed up. it really comes down to the fighters though. if they want to keep on doin it then thats there call.

His speech was starting to slur before the rematch with Chavez, ironically he was winning that fight yoo up until he got KO'd again. The sport of boxing just chewed Meldrick Taylor up and then spit him out.........

ok i didnt know that. i thought that show was kinda old but i figured he was still fighting. but you would think that the boxing commission would not give him a license. well either way if he still wanted to fight they might still let him but then again they did decide to not let holyfield fight so maybe they wouldnt let him fight

yeah. After that first Chavez bout, Meldrick Taylor took some brutal shots in the bouts that followed. I mean brutal, deadly punches to the head. He got hit just about every worst way you can get hit. Too bad he was a Philly fighter, that's what ruined him. Being a Philly fighter. Those guys place a value on waging war in the ring, Taylor only had so much 'box' in him.

his last fight was in 02 so actually he isnt still fighten but def fought more then he should have

Just because you have brain damage doesn't mean you don't have to pay your bills anymore. What else can he do for a living?
