Career Ending Or Shortening Fights.

[Dark Destroyer]

M.Tayloy, after he fought J.C.Chavez. that fight ended his career.

That has to be the saddest tragic story out there for me. That Legendary Nights episode always makes me cry at the end. I have no shame in admitting that at all. The rise and fall of a great ring warrior.

Because of what happened to Taylor at the hands of Chavez; does that make you dislike Chavez in anyway?

ah man that just breaks your heart doesn't it

especially when they show the clip of him when he was a kid before the Chavez fight and he's talking about how he has his whole future in front of him, then they show him today and he can barley talk.

Yeah that was the bit that did it for me, the music didn't help either. Such a promissing career ended so tragically, he is one of the sad storys of boxing and i will never forget it as long as i live. He was a nice guy too who just wanted to follow in the footsteps of his previous tough Philly fighters.

No it doesn't to be honest because he was a tremendous fighter just doing his job. He is a ring legend and he will never be forgotten either. If i dislike anyone in this it's the referee BUT i know he was just trying to ensure the safety of the fighter so i respect him for that.

I've never seen the fight, I've only heard of it.
From what I have heard it seems like the ref should have stopped it way before the time he actually did stop the fight.

Do you know where I could download the full fight?

I really think Taylor's corner is to blame if your gonna blame anyone. They should have seen the punishment Taylor was taking and stopped the fight.

Plus Duva telling Taylor he needed the last round and that the fight was close and then having the bvalls to deny it on the Legenday Nights was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in boxing.

aslo Duva jumping up on the ropes and distracting Taylor while Steele was talking to him was another thing to blame on the corner.

I dont know where you can download it from, but I have the 12th round on my copmuter and will try and upload it in the video section a little later on.

Sounds like Duva deserves either a Golota low blow or a Jirov punch to the back of the head.

Good point i forgot about that, actually Lou Duva did piss me off badly because he told Taylor to fight and that they needed that round. Damn that has brought back furious memories now. What fight was he watching? He was mad to think that and to send Taylor in against a big puncher like Chavez when Taylor is tired was dumb plain and simple. Thats right with Duva too, he did distract him while the ref was counting. I guess the referee cannot really be blamed when you look at it on that level.

[Dr Cynical]

If Taylor was really that ****ed up from the Chavez fight and is nearly unable to speak and so on, then why was his last fight in the year 2002?
Who the hell sanctioned this man?
