I caught up with him real fast too. Talk about a short prime. He really blew an opportunity for greatness.
I really think Taylor maxed it out with what he had. He was never very fluid or much of a complicated over thinker in there, almost had a rigidity about him with that bow and arrow delivery and at times flat feet. He started to bust up before and after Hopkins but always a tremendous full chest of courage and damn it all attitude. He didn't really dog it with soft comp after Hopkins either, guy burned at both ends for sure though and very quick rise and fall.
