    Yeah he's done. People dont fear him anymore. They know that if they can hang in there they could eventually out will him.

      I don't think he's shot.

      I think it's just more of a case of him not being very good at staying on his feet, having a good workrate, keeping his stamina consistent throughout the fight, etc.

      He just has a firestorm of flaws that he can't seem to get over.

      It is a travesty that he will go down as the guy who ended Hopkins's reign. There is no ****ing way Taylor should have ever beaten Hopkins once, let alone twice.

          He would do very well!
          Taylor was the king of 6 and 8 rounders.

              He was never really that good to begin with. I mean he got the decisions against Hopkins and Spinks because he looked more lively in the ring not because he was actually landing punches. To tell you the truth, he looked better against Froch than he did against Hopkins or Spinks. Probably his best performance was against Winky Wright and even then he didn't win.
