i wouldn't call taylor a bust, though he didn't live up to some of the more lofty expectations. he became undisputed MW champion, with two dubs over hopkins. a lot of people thought he was some preordained great, and he wasn't. he had great physical talent and mediocre skills that never improved. he never trained hard or loved boxing. he was a very strong MW with a great jab and a big punch. he was a very gifted athlete. when he was undefeated and confident he was a tough go.

That entire 140 Division from 2009-2011: Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, Victor Ortiz, Devon Alexander...only Timothy Bradley lived up to the Expectation, but the rest has been somewhat dissapointing and all of them was getting more hyped then Bradley when they was all at 140

LOL how are those guys busts? They may not have lived up to super stardom, but they sure aren't busts.

Hell Victor Ortiz and Devon Alexander are two division champions, I would hardly call that being a bust. Now, yes, they may not have lived up to what many thought they would, but they are still in their mid 20's and in Devon's case on the verge of a possible mega fight if he wins on Saturday.

Odlanier Solis... Can't stop eating! Also Fernando Guerrero, Andre Berto, Winfredo Vazquez Jr., David Lemieux (WTF Happened to this guy, this Forum use to be Lemieux Crazy until the Rubio fight lol), LUCIAN BUTE also had crazy fans who have mysteriously disappeared after Froch Crushed Him

I hope not, but It's looking more and more likely that he may be out of the sport soon...

He's too inactive. When he finally fights he has recently put up very uninspiring performances.
