He has been one of my favorite fighters since a few years before the Bhop fights, in those days he quickly destroyed most other fighters they put in front of him. Granted, after winning and defending the MW title against Bhop, he kind of took the easy road against Ouma, Spinks, and Winky. Since then however, he has fought the who's who of Super MWs, in short, they are all monsters. Pavlik, undefeated power puncher, twice. Two fights after that he fought Lacy, Lacy is pretty well washed up but he was still a former champ with only one loss and a dangerous puncher. After that, Froch, another unbeaten power puncher. After that, Abraham, undefeated power punching beast. Find another fighter in any division who has fought that kind of a brutal schedule in a two and a half year stretch. I think he deserves alot of credit for taking those kind of challenges, and he has always been very fan freindly and respectable.

Give him some love, but not too much love, or you might accidentaly ko him in the late rounds...
Taylor was really really good, i think he was hungry on the way up, and got a little sloppy when he became champ... I think after the pavlik fight he needed to walk away for awhile and restructure his camp, but the way he lost that fight seemed like a fluke, so i can understand him not realising it might be time for a break....
he'll be back, but i think its too late, i think its time to call it a day for Taylor, he's going to get hurt real bad if he's not careful.
