Question about Chavez/Taylor.....

[abdiel2k3]

as its been brought up
ya taylor was flurring alot
but many were missen or being slipped
while chavez consistinly landed damging blows

there were lil more then 5 secs or so left
taylor had no legs and no wits about him
chavez would have easily landed the finishin blow
finshin for his career
or even his life
as we know he got brain damage in that fight

taylor should thank steele for thinkin about his health and not his record

[Xecutioner]

how many low blows did taylor land in the fight? 30? 40? it was a ridiculous amount. to say that steele was biased towards chavez is absured. if he was why didnt he take any points away from taylor? if anything he looked biased in taylors favor throughout the fight.

[dansweeney]

steele wasnt biased either way, he was doing his job, taylor clearly would not look at him or acknowledge him when steele repeatedly asked him if he was ok, he had no choice but to stop the fight

It's really a shame what has become of Taylor. When he was young and fighting at 135 he was flat out one of the best fighters I have ever seen. His problem is weight and Gym wars cuaght up to him. People seem to forget what a great fighter he was and how great he could have been if he was a different type guy....(not so "macho")

As far as the Chavez fight goes, Chavez put a physical whupping on Taylor. Taylor was ahead on points and I DON'T think Steele should have stopped it, but I'm not emotional about it. Taylor's corner ****ed up by distracting him and getting his attention away from Steele when he was wobbily. The Fred Flinstone looking MF'er, Duva is to blame for not being able to keep his fat hole shut. Great fight and it's a shame someone had to lose it.

If you get a chance, I suggest everyone try and get a hold of the early Taylor-McGirt fight. That shows how truly talented Taylor was. McGirt was a damn good fighter who was owned by Taylor.

Seen the fight a million times.

The one thing that people seem to forget is that Richard Steele counted up to five when Taylor was up. He GAVE Talyor a chance to recover and a chance to continue in the fight by counting to 9 (I believe) BUT Taylor didnt respond to Steele. So for those people complaining about the stoppage should know Taylor had a few more seconds to recover. Steele couldve wipe Taylors gloves and let him continue with about 6 seconds left and prolly get killed.

I think people should look at the fight for what it was... a GREAT FIGHT!!! Both guys put on a great show, as a fan there were no losers.
