    I know what you think you pointed out.

    Taylor beasted Chavez for nearly the whole fight and had earned the right to see the final bell, which would have rung before he even took another shot. I sense from your username that you hopelessly biased, however.

    and i know what you think you said.
    whether taylor won the fight vs chavez or not, that fight ended his career and prevented him from ever achieving anything worth mentioning post the beating.
    the ref stoping taylor from finishing did not make him punch drunk.

    I think it was a mental defeat as much as a physical one.

    anything you think, wouldnt surprise me in the least at this point. blaming the ref and mental defeat for meldricks loss of motor skills and inability to continue competing at elite level, really does suggest endless possibilities for creative reasoning.

    I'm sure his loss of motor skills didn't just happen as a result of that fight. He no doubt had a predisposition to it and it would have happened anyway. But even if he had only beaten Chavez and retired, and he did give him a boxing lesson, he would have been in contention as an atg anyway.

    ok, lets go against the obvious and pretend that having your face broke, losing 3 pints of blood and geting over 40 stitches isnt going to affect your future performances, and lets say that meldrick had retired after geting the decision against chavez... what place would you have given him on the atg list?

    I heard Chavez damaged Taylor badly throughout the fight.

    I honestly think Taylor would have died if the Chavez fight were a 15 rounder.
