    X takes your soul, then when you get tested, you aint got nothin to fall back on

    that's what happened to taylor, he got pushed and pushed against pavlik, but his soul wasn't there, so he just shut down

      and taylor was'nt usual taylor, when he tried he'd send arthur flying with a jab, and i think he did open up for about 2 seconds and arthur was just getting pushed around, seriously, taylor was too big for abraham, if X hadn't taken his soul he would've won that
      Yes he was more active in the beginning. I don't remember so much about the end other than the body shots and two rights, one sending Taylor down. But I remember the majority of Taylor's combinations constantly being blocked, and Abraham's connecting.

      This **** about Taylor not being himself has been going on for a while since the two Hopkins fights, bottom line is Jermain was losing.

        He fought like he was past his prime/shot.

        Which he was.Way to gun shy.

        Everything he was throwing was blocked and ineffective.

          Hopkins indeed ruined Taylor. I don't think he ruined him mentally though.

            Right after his 2 matches with B-Hop you could see an effect on Taylor's mental status inside the ring...IMO B-Hop indeed ruined Taylor mentally...

              That is what one punch ko-power does to you Matrix *looooooooooool*

              Taylor felt the power early... I mean even against Froch he was firing combinations and everything... not against Abraham--- I guess you can guess alone why he ain't or? If not just look in the difference between the ko's in these fights.
