    Pushed to far to soon by HBO hype machine/Possibly never THAT good..

    He has alot of very poor defenses at MW after Hopkins

    He lost to Winky imo and fought some boring fights.

    You got to say it all went south when Pavlik got up survived and KTFO Taylor 5 rounds laters

          Bad matchmaking.

          Bad Habits.

          He tried to do to much in so little time and now hes done.

              Matchmaking, Hardheaded(Bad habits), and Trainers IMO.

              He never really gave Manny Steward a chance to succeed, but IMO I don't think he should have fired his first trainer.

                  Taking on Hopkins twice does that to you.
