The myth about Chavez-Taylor needs to end

[Fox McCloud]

It's the only fight in which a boxer landed over 450 punches (according to CompuBox) on his opponent and ended up losing. Only Ivan Robinson vs Philip Holiday comes close.

That fight sounds badass. I really want to see Holiday vs. Robinson.

I also want to see Padilla vs. Oliveira for the busiest fight ever.

He didnt start doing damage till his wraps got hard in the later rounds just like Marg.

I'm not gonna lie, i've also thought he very well could of had plaster. There is no proof, but the damage he did to Taylor was insane. I dont think i've seen a fighter beat up that bad since.

Ok so it's also safe to assume that a big puncher like Pacman also used plaster especially against David Diaz.

Chavez always beat up his opponents though. Taylor was too tough for his own good.

I haven't seen anyone claim it was a "lucky" punch. Any sensible person wouldn't argue this fact.

It's the time of the stoppage. You stop a fight to prevent the fighter from inflicting further damage, period. With only 2 seconds remaining, and with Chavez on the other side of the ring, will the clock still ticking, and Steele to still resume the action, it was a physical impossibility for Chavez to land, let alone throw another punch.

Steele actually held up the count for like 5 seconds talking to Taylor after the mandatory 8 count.

jsut checked, and Taylor hit the floor with 16 seconds left on the clock. so in theory, Chavez would have had 8 seconds to finish the fight after the mandatory 8 count.
I dont think he would have been able to do actually, but its not impossible.

Wish they would have had an immediate rematch.

Its the rate at which it happened, look how fast it happened, just like with Marg against Cotto. Marg was landing the whole fight but the damage happened immediately around round 7 and piled on, just like the Taylor fight with Chavez.

Look at Taylors eyes and face compare to Chavez...And the only reason Taylor got up is cause he was next to the ropes and supported himself with the ropes to get up...there's no way he gets up without hanging on....It was a good stoppage....

Dude i'm not saying he did, but the damage Diaz took from Pac is nowhere near as bad. Like i said their is no proof, and most likely he didnt, but i wouldnt be surprised at all if it came out later that he did use plaster.

Than in this case Taylor was on steroids...Just like Mosley is in his fights....


STFU....

Its very possible, Chavez battered many fighter's faces not just Taylor's, his close relationship with Marg, surely he probably knew Marg was using, their friends. Its very possible.
