That's ridiculous. That fight may have furthered the damage but Chavez broke his orbital bone and gave him 30 stitches and his first loss. It wasn't the same Taylor that stepped in versus Norris.

Taylor on the Chavez fight aftermath...

"For a year and a half I dwelled on it," Taylor said. "I lost confidence in myself. I couldn't believe I could fall so far so fast. I had two more losses and people wrote me off and I began questioning my ability."
didn't Taylor swallow a dangerous amount of blood in that fight ?

Something like a pint so i heard . He fucked his kidneys up as well it was a career ending beating and to get stopped with 2 seconds left how do you come back from that .

Chavez was a machine .
He swallowed 2 pints in that fight. The inside of his mouth got cut in the very first round I believe and he swallowed blood from then on in the fight.
