    Guy has a pretty good physique for above MW @ LHW or something tho i think 6-1 or 6-2? he also fought there in his first fights. I give him credit for boiling down and still being very effective at MW cause that can hurt you.

      Yeah, that was an HBO power play hyping up the DiBella-Hopkins beef. Although Taylor did much better than anticipated.

        he was not ready at all and honestly i felt Hop won tht fight..lol no arguments tho i also see how people couldve scored it for Taylor...i jus felt HBO no matter what was going to give tht to Taylor they spent lots of time,money, and hype for him to get beat..but thats why they let him fight Hop...chance of getting kayoed was slim so a decision was pretty much inevitable...knew that hop fights slow..so haven the judges score it a lil off was easy...

            Taylor was too green, winning that Hopkins fight was most probably the worst thing that could of happened to him

              he is horribly over-rated at times

              hes still hanging round like a bad smell which is annoying considering he has no interest in fighting the best fighters out there

                Yeah, who would of guessed that, that would of happened. I hope he stays retired though, too many bad beatings, in too short a time imo
