Taylors fall from grace is shocking to say the least.

    Dom, I don't believe that bull****. He had Taylor's number, he just didn't execute.

      He could've decisively beat Taylor yet chose not to.
      Wasn't gonna happen, HBO was on Taylor's ****. Taylor didn't turn out so promising.

        Look I thought he won fight 2, but **** he didn't do it emphatically.

        TV wants emphatic.

        He didn't do it. He can only blame himself.

          This is why I never liked Taylor. He was spoon fed no hopers on his way up, and recieved 3 gifts. I think Taylor should have 7 losses.

            You have to have confidence in yourself to succeed at the world class level in boxing and for a long time Taylor has not had this. Just look at how he didn't throw his jab with any "bad intentions" in the AA fight. He didn't really believe 100% that he could win. That is the difference and why someone of limited talent like Froch succeeds and a skilled athletic fighter like Taylor fails, its about confidence and the belief that you can beat anyone they put in front of you.

              Oh I agree with you. For example, look at RJJ against Tarver, their first bout. I think B-Hop is ashamed to do what Roy did, use every ounce of energy left. I really do believe that.

                I agree. I first started to wonder if something was wrong with him when he didn't even come close to KOing Ouma, but when I saw the Spinks fight, I knew for sure he wouldn't accomplish anything big after that.

                      I was sad man, atleast most people at school had B-Hop winning. So it wasn't so bad. How much you lose?
