      I'm not sure if Heart is the right word, but his inability to get up after a KD and grind out a result or even stay competitive.

          There is a case there i suppose, but his stamina just seems to be THAT bad that he cant drag it up when he needs to. Eubank had bad stamina, but he always dragged it up because he had tons of heart. However Taylor has worse stamina that Eubank imo.


          So i dont know if you can question his heart OR NOT.

            But to let all that be undermined by poor stamina and no heart* is ridiculous...

              In the 12th round, he went down then got dragged into exchanging with Froch and got KO'd...

              Could be... It probably didn't help that he took bombs from big hitters like Froch and Pavlik
              But if his Stamina was better, he would be able to carry on boxing and not get tagged.

                He still got up from a horrific knockdown but he should of clinched in order to survive. Taylor has plenty of heart.

                    Ok, I concede that heart is not the correct word...

                      Taylor fades out in later rounds, is suspect to getting stopped late on and struggles to grind out a result... I guess then his Stamina and Chin are the problems, not heart.
