    I think the American legal system may take that out of his hands.

    Dont think he'll be defending the belt from prison

    Andre Waters, who played for the Eagles. He was known as "Dirty Waters". He said he lost count of how many concussions he had, and eventually killed himself.

    Andre Ware and Ricky Watters are healthy, at least to the best of my knowledge.

    It's very possible, and the first thing I thought of when hearing about Taylor's crazy behavior. Nowadays it's hard not to think of brain-damage when things like this happen, because brain trauama is always talked about in the media. It seems no one in the mainstream sports media really cared much about this until all they did all this research with NFL players. Everyone has known for a really long time what boxing can do to your brain but since it's a dying sports in the US, it just kind of gets shrugged off.

    It is possible that Taylor was just good with his public image until recently and always had this side to him, but there's been speculation and concern about brain trauma for years. He withdrew from the Super Six due to a brain bleed.

    When he came back there was a lot of concern that it would end in tragedy. Margaret Goodman said he was basically playing Russian Roulette with his brain by coming back.

    He apologized from his bathtub on video and used the trigger for his actions as not having candy for the kids at the MLK day parade. Yep he has lost it. Wow this guy needs help that I don't think incarceration is going to do.

    Bhop please retire.

    He needs to be put in prison, because he's a danger to himself and those around him.

    Taylor has severe problems and should never be allowed in the ring again. I was against him being allowed to fight Soliman. The guy has a brain injury and is a tragedy waiting to happen.

    Yeah he seems to have totally lost it. He needs to be kept away from the ring and guns etc.
