    What the hell happened to Taylor?

    I'm a Taylor fan and i'm not bashing the guy but what the hell happened? Pre-hopkins he was alot more of a beast, well atleast letting his hands go and using the damn jab. He needs to use his size and learn how to cut off the damn ring. I wonder where Ste***** blood pressure is at after this fight.

    Simple, proctected TV fighter. Sooner or later he'll be cornered , have to fight a legitmate threat, them oh how the excuses will fly. He should thank god it was Spinks and not a real middleweight he fought last night. He had the nerve to talk smack about Miranda after the fight. He doesn't have the stones or the talent to fight Miranda or any other real in their prime middleweight.Wanna bet he fights Calzaghe next. Here's why. Calzaghe is in his mid 30 thirties and doesn't have the punching power of Miranda or Pavlik, their hoping Calzaghe is due slow down because of his age and is the least risk.

            I still give props to Taylor... He continues to do enough in the ring to convince judges. He is still making tons of money and he will continue to make money.

              It's simple, he let Pat Burns go and he lost all of his confidence

                  I think his confidence was severely affected after facing so much criticism in his fights with Hopkins and Winky. You can tell he's feeling stressed by the way he exploded in the press conference and the way he tightens up in the ring.
