Taylors fall from grace is shocking to say the least.

          I watched his fights from Hopkins up until Abraham and I can not believe how poorly he has done since those two fights. I mean he has had the physical and athletic advantages over everyone since, but he seems off. I can't believe he has went from giving and taking with one of the greatest middleweights of all times to losing to inferior scrubs like Froch after sonning for 11 rounds.
          I have also watched all his recent fights leading up to the ABraham fights. Ever since the PAvlik fight he hasn't fought with the same confidence. Before you could see that he was more confident and that he could just overpower his way to a win. Pavlik broke him the first fight and he was never the same after that.

            Yeah, It's amazing. I have said all along since the Pavlik loss that he looked like he doubted himself as a winner or something, shame he seems like a really good guy too.

              Its a shame because he was suppose to be good enough to rule the middleweight division for many many years.

              same thing happened to Lacy, he was completely ruined after the Calzaghe fight

                Lacy isn't on Taylors level.

                  Yeah, Lacy was a big puncher, but nothing more. Taylor is a polished boxer.

                    Yeah, that's very true. He was not accepted by most fans.

                    Taylor is the type of guy that needs everyone behind him. I don't mean it in a bad way. I just don't think he is the type that can deal well with people fans/writers/etc.. being against him and I think his confidence was damaged.

                      This could be true. I remember the countdown for Pavlik Taylor, and then soe Little Rock guys vaking fun of Taylor in the radio studio, and Taylor saying don't talk to me after I beat Pavlik.
