      Taylor probably should have won that fight, but have you seen him after that fight? He lost it completely, the speed everything... Well, in my opinion chavez bashed everything out of him that night. I heard taylor was pissing blood for months after that fight. I don't think he was ever the same physically from the beating he got. Like he def won by landing more shots, but chavez landed the way stronger punches that made taylor piss blood for months. In their rematch, taylor got his ass kicked

        Taylor was never the same, but he was still pretty good directly afterwards. He moved up to welterweight and beat undefeated Aaron Davis for the WBA title.

        Then his managers for some reason let him go up yet again and fight Terry Norris and he got stopped, then stopped again later on at 147 by Cristano Espana.

          Espana was very underrated in my opinion, but he had the bad luck running into Quartey. Taylor was done against Top opposition. Norris was way too big for him.

            Either way it was a mistake.
            Steele never said he was wrong for stopping the fight so there was no mistake made. It was his judgment call when it all comes down to it.

            Back on topic, I never really seen anything special about Ward. He's just a wannabe Roy Jones.

              A KO did in fact occur.
              Really, it was not a KO. Taylor was not down for 10 seconds. He got up, the ref stopped, and so it was a TKO. I suppose that is what you meant.
