Taylor has been a sad story since his first loss to Pavlik. He was extremely promising as a young man but he often cut corners, didn't train well, and just didn't seem to 'want' to be champion as much as some of the other young, hungry fighters. I think, by the time he pulled his socks up, it was too late. Still, I'll be rooting for him (even though I consider myself a Ward fan too), I'd like to see the gifted, athletic, young fighter we all caught glimpses of in the past.
