if you are going to lose you go out on your shield.
I wouldn't put the Taylor fight because in theory he won. Just a miserable decsion on Steele's part. And he rightfully was removed from top level fights after that.
Vargas nor Taylor were the same, but man, it still hurts me to this day thinking about that stoppage. Vargas lost...but you're right he went out on his shield.
Chavez even stated post fight Meldrick was landing 3 to his 1. Yes Taylor pissed blood and yes he was battered, but 2 seconds?

Yes that must hurt if you were a Taylor fan. I loved Chavez and thought it was a fair stoppage.
I thought Tito did some dirty fighting against Vargas.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
