Re: If Meldric Taylor used the Oscar De La hoya tactic
Not much. Chavez had already beat him up real bad. Taylor couldn't run, even if that was his nature. Chavez had busted him up to the body, his face was broken, his ass had been kicked.
That is where people get messed up about this fight, about what was going on in that ring. Taylor was fighting his heart out but he was getting killed. People act like Chavez landed one right hand and Richard Steele stopped the fight because Don King bribed him. He stopped the fight because Chavez was about to kill Meldrick taylor. Who do you think busted up Taylor's face, did the internal damage that hospitalized him after the fight? Richard Steele? Georgie Benton in the corner?

He was on real bad legs in the 8th, 9th rounds, how was he going to run? I was suprised he made it through the 10th round. All of a sudden he was going to find spring in his legs and start dancing?. His legs were shaky that whole fight; count up the times he missed and fell. Watch the rest of his career and see his legs.
And he didn't know how to fight that way, it just wasn't in his nature.
Just a dude in blue.

Grey pretty much nailed it. Its just who Taylor was. Clear from early on exchanging with Ramos and getting rocked for it. I think Oscar was closing like that with Tito out of preserving something that really wasn't certain at all, while Taylor was trying to cement and seal a win. If Taylors legs and feet ever had the speed of his hands, he would have been even more phenominal.

If Taylor gave away the last 3 rounds would be have lost the fight to chavez?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

it wasn't in his nature to run, and like mentioned he took too much punishment to the body to run even if he wanted to IMO.
