    Nah. Taylor went on to have success afterwards. He fought well in the Froch fight and Pavlik rematch. I actually had him winnin both fights before the stoppage.

            I don't think so. I think Jermain Taylor ruined himself. His flaws caught to him and he eventually couldn't overcome them.

              the ending was brutal but up till that 7th round taylor was pretty much in control. the froch fight was more of a war.

                I think the back-to-back knockouts against Froch and Abraham probably did it.

                  No I dont think so.

                  He gave Pavlik a good fight in the rematch. That was close.

                  Beat Lacy.

                  He was beating Froch until the KO and dropped him.

                  So I would say no.

                  Abraham definitely put the final nail in the coffin though.

                    This. Like with many fighters their flaws eventually catch up with them and get exploited over and over again.
