Did Taylor won or lost your respect tonight?

Yes, i was hoping the fight would be like the beginning of Rocky 3

 

He earned a lot of respect from me last night. I lost a lot for him in the build up when he wrote of Froch and appeared very arrogant. Froch was confident he could do the job but he always maintained Taylor was a dangerous opponent. Taylor wrote him off completely and paid the price. But he showed heart and was gracious in defeat which I commend him for.

 

He was a class act who i respect

 

I had a lot of respect for Taylor before last night and still have it now. It was much more a case of Froch winning respect than Taylor loosing any.

 

have complete respect for him as a fighter and more importantly as a person, he was class in the post fight interview. humble nice guy who i think showed a lot of heart to get up from kd. he is not finished as some on this bored are saying.

 

he won my respect. he got stopped by a decent fighter in the last round of a fight he effectively "won". no shame in that whatsoever. he must be devastated...just hope he can come back from it like a champion.
As the other posts say, he took it on the chin as well (pun very much intended) which is refreshing in boxing nowdays.

rematch please!

 

I agree.....however, he should probably retire to avoid further punishment from the elite fighters

 

It's a shame he lost, he comes across as a genuine nice guy. Has he got it in him to work on his stamina? If it wasn't for his stamina he would have been champ.

 

Have a lot of respect for Taylor. He tried his best to fight back in the 12th. You could see the look of pain just before the ref stopped it.

That was a BRUTAL stoppage!:admin

 

he didnt win or lose my respect... he just solidified the fact that he is done

 

I respect him but I'm tired of him gassing out in the championship rounds.

 

Taylors pure class. Always took on the toughest fights. Never bad mouths anyone. A real class act

 

Seconded

Imagine what a fighter JT would be if he had Frochs stamina/chin

 

Nah he didnt embarass himself. He has great talent. But he doesnt have stamina or a chin. But he does go out and give it his all.
