Its not only the fact that taylor has lost 5 of his last 6 fights its that he hasnt definitivly won a fight in 5 years.
I know Miranda isnt great either but his power gets to JT for a KO.

JT was a uppercut or two away from stoppin' Kelly EARLY in their 1st fight....if he throws that punch, the story changes.....he had Kelly but gassed and payed a heavy price.....JT imo won the rematch but it WAS a close fight, he also gassed in that one.....he was whoopin Froch until he gassed......and he was doing well against Abe and who's to say if he'd come to Germany much earlier than a week before the fight he would've been stronger....who knows?!?.....JT was winning the fights he lost BEFORE he lost them(did that make sense?)....anyway, all I'm sayin is that he was VERY competetive in his losses.....unlike Miranda!!

And if Taylor power-punched himself out in round 2, Pavlik was hit flush by 10-15 of those power-shots and took a KD, so the toll of that event in the fight on each man can be called at least even. What started the trouble for Pavlik in that round was one of those tricky shots behind the ear which mess your balance up, on which Taylor was able to capitalize and put a mini-whooping on Kelly, but that isolated incident didn't stem from Taylor being in control of the fight - IMO, Kelly was actually looking the more settled of the two immediately before.
Until Froch started catching up to him in the late going (championship rounds), Taylor was winning that one.
He was always fighting a rising tide against Abraham, though. His early success was only ostensible.
