    stamina has always been his problem..its been a factor in most of his big fights..its just not all of them could capitalize off of it like pavlik and froch did. i picked him to beat froch, but as soon as i saw jermain's face in that first round and he lost that spark and personality in his demeanor from the hopkins fights, i said to myself "taylor is done" and i knew he was going to end up losing somewhere down the stretch. hes always been tense in the ring but his gotten gradually worse every fight i see him in, and when your tense like that it takes more energy from you.

      What went wrong nothing , he just came to his limit and Pavlik altered his mental state , if you push its bound to happen sooner or later .

        Taylor can beat all the best black fighters, but he just can't handle strong tough rugged hard hitting white fighters.

        Pavlik KO 7 Taylor
        Pavlik UD Taylor
        Froch KO 12 Taylor

        Now Taylor facing another strong tough hard hitting white man in Arthur Abraham.

        King Arthur will brutally KO Taylor.

            Imo its mental thing with him.. specially since Pavlik allways heard Taylor was nervous as hell prior to fights after that Pavlik fight he just looks scared..

            Saying that though he boxed the best ive seen him for 9-10 rounds vs Froch and then well you know

              Its kind of disappointing to look on Taylors resume and don't understand why he lost to Pavlik twice and lost to Froch... Especially Froch since Froch was losing by a pretty wide-margin. I mean froch probably won a couple of rounds like 3 or 4 but he definitely needed a knockout to win.

                  He won early, lost hunger and didn't have time to work on his flaws and was thrown to the lions straight away. If you look at his resume he's fought everybody.

                    No ones the same after they fight Bernard.
                    Win or lose.

                      It's actually kind of frustrating watching him.
