Taylors stoppage vs. JCC..One of the greatest tragedies

I think what people also forget is that it was many fights, probably in the gym as well as in prize fights, that led to Taylor's condition.

And that Taylor was still a good prizefighter for a little while after the loss to Chavez. He just wasn't the same as he was before that, but he was still a good fighter.

 

Oh, and the biggest/most corrupt/disgusting injustice/robbery in boxing was the first fight between Juan Coggi and Eder Gonzalez.

 

I heard and read about this fight where Steele stopped the fight just before the 12th and final bell. His explanation was that he did not keep track of how much time was left and he just reacted on instinct. That's understandable. But man, a few seconds left before winning the fight and it gets stopped?

Wonder if any payouts had anything to do with it in terms of Steele being involved.

 

jcc was involved in a lot of em. cant forget the whitaker "draw" dude lost that fight easily

 

I used to like HBO Legendary Nights, but reading how people here misinterpret or oversimplify things based on that series, or believe a bunch of lies, I'm starting to not like that show.

 

Chavez was awesome! Chavez was also awesome when he stopped Roger Mayweather two times!

 

He didn't verbally respond but gave a slight nod.

I put a lot of blame on Duva. If Duva didn't get up on the ring apron and distract Taylor, when Steele was asking him questions, then Taylor could've been able to look at Steele and verbally respond.

 

Yeah he gave Roger a long methodical beating in the rematch, just like he later did to Fuentes.

But the best Chavez was the one who destroyed Rosario.

 

i dont know what steele was thinking

 

Both he and Benton told him that the fight was hanging in the balance in round 12.
