Chances are if Taylor would have won that fight he would have been satisfied and not continued on as long as he did.

Steele ruined Taylor.
To say that this 1 fight ruined Taylors life is a bit silly.He would of ended up like he has because some fighters dont know when to quit.

Example-Hollyfield,Ali to name 2.Both have had amazing wins but both fought past there prime by a long way.
