    Is Taylor finished??

    where does he go from here on out?? does he still have a shot at becoming champion ever again?? he fought well last night by utilizing his jab more, I'd hate to think this is the end for him.

    I think he'd do ok up at smw, the only problem there is that kessler is at 168 and he would beat taylor worse than pavlik did the first time.
    I'd favour taylor to beat, miranda, bute, froch, mundine, lacy and green but as i'd said before he'd come unstuck if he fought kessler.

      the typical question after a fighter loses a fight or 2 or 3 or 4....especially a young fighter...many good and great fighters have been in this position...many have faded...many have come back...

      my opinion is no...he is not finished

        He didn't lose, the judges were just bad judges

          I think Taylor can beat anyone in the 160-168 divisions NOT named Pavlik,Kessler or Calzaghe

              Pavlik outpointed him and Taylor has only himself to blame. If he threw punches, he wins. It is simples that. Yet he'd only fight for 30 seconds total a round. He's so much better than Pavlik that sometimes that was even good enough to win rounds, but in the end I had it 115-113 Kelly. He's obviously not done though. If I was him I'd be looking for a Miranda showcase matchup on HBO. It would be just like how DLH and Tito came back to Mayorga.

                taylor is far from finished. if you watch the fight he was actually winning a lot of it. as a percentage of the winning minutes i would say it was 60/40. taylor was busy but pavlik came out on top in the end.

                  I'm not sure if he'd have an easy fight against Wright in a rematch, and I'd honestly say that Abraham and Miranda both would have a great shot at beating him. Because both can punch and we've now found out the truth.........that Taylor has problems with big punchers. Nobody knew because he had never faced one his entire career. When he did he got knocked out.

                    Sure.. But Pavlik has a pretty soild Chin.. which might have made Taylor's power seem less.. So what I am asking is.. Can Abraham and Miranda handle Taylor's power???
