    Who the hell sanctioned this man?
    I ask that very same question because the man who did let him fight on needs beating with a big stick in my opinion.

      I just read some old article from CNN in that year.
      Taylor wanted to prove he was still a good fighter and his trainer was encouraging him.
      Now if Taylor was really that ****ed up, why would people egg him on and let him fight?
      Do people really hate this guy that much that they want to see him end up a vegetable or dead?

        because Boxing has some serious problems that need to be adressed.

        they showed clips of him in the ring from his final fight and he couldn't even defend himself, just sad.

          because people think they can make money off him and dont care about his health just what they can put in there pockets.

          Its the same with Holyfield right now. Holyfield is clearly damaged and olny going to get worse, but as long he makes money people will be willing to string him along by telling him things he wants to hear.

          sad but true

            Dr C i have no idea at all, the only thing i do know is after that fight he was NEVER the same fighter. If those people were real friends of his then they would have told him not to fight on. Some people find it hard to let go of faded talent and i think it's sick. It's just people after money and not caring about their fighters health. Rid**** Bowe is another example of this, i am not happy at all that he is fighting. I just hope nothing bad happens to him, he doesn't deserve it after everything he has been through.

              Boxing can sound very scary to me sometimes.

                Boxing can get very scary when it comes to this kind of stuff. Each time a fighter gets in the ring they risk there life.

                  Thats because Boxing IS very scary.

                  I give credit to any man who wants to step in the ring.I may talk about not liking a fighter, but at the ned of the day I respect ALL fighters.

                    Written perfectly, thats my feelings exactly. Even though there are certain fighters i don't like i still admire and respect there bravery for stepping foot in the ring.

                      What Golota did to Bowe would rank pretty high up there, especially in the second fight. Bowe has brain damage now and quite a few experts out there have forbidden him from fighting again, but you still have people who are in line to make money off of Bowe so they'll put his life in front of there greediness.
