Forgotten Greatness – Meldrick Taylor

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing is unforgiving and cruel. The sport shows no mercy towards the fighters, fans, and promoters that populate the sport. The stakes are always high; an unfocused pugilist can go from champion to chumpion in one night. There isn’t a 16, 82, or 162 game season to pad accomplishments or provide a sanctuary to individual inconsistency. Twelve rounds. One night. One fight. [details]

poor meldrick, he used to be so good

It is a shame about Taylor. He had so many skills and one fight ended everything. But that's the sport of boxing: win or go home.Champions aren't made from losing. Meldrick fought his ass off against Chavez,he didn't see it as "I lost I'll be back" he saw it has "damn i lost" And so will history.
