He lost to Hopkins & Wright...you know that.

Sure he's fought 3 southpaws in a row...& he's been handed victories over them all...he's not earned a single one.

Taylor's borderline disgraceful & you know it. He stalls more than most 1980 Fords do.
I thought Taylor won the first Hopkins fight and Hopkins won the second. And I'd like to know where all the animosity and personal attacks on Taylor are coming from
I was a huge fan of Taylor's...seriously. HUGE!

Replay the Hopkins fight...the first one. Hopkins took his normal approach...mapped out Taylor & then got on him in the 7th & from the 8th to the 12th he rode Taylor hard.

Hopkins outlanded Taylor & landed the more effective shots.

Taylor won the second fight hands down...but not the first. HBO had the posters New Sherriff in Town printed up days before that fight was over. HBO's honey pot coulda been golden if he hadn't fallen prey to his own hype.

I just don't like what Taylor's become. If you backed a fighter & put all your hopes & prayers into him like I did Taylor...you'd maybe understand. Since you wanted to know where all the animosity and personal attacks on Taylor are coming from...that's why I have such a large amount of distaste for him.

He's squandering his talent & potential & that's a fact.

As the middleweight champion of the world...he should act like it...or atleast try. I wanted to shut the fight down after the 4th round last night...that's unheard of from me.
