    Taylor was one of my favs only thing that seemed to hold him back was his stamina I never liked the idea of bringing in Steward as his philosophy of fighting never matched Jermaine's if anything Freddie Roach would have been much better

    It broke my heart when Pavlik pinned him in that corner and unleashed bomb after bomb on him and took him out

    I was always a Taylor fan .

    Loved Taylor. First Vegas fight I ever attended when he fought Hopkins

    Don't use the term "floored", that confuses a couple of posters here. Particularly one from Michigan.

    Taylor was a pleasure to watch when he was in full flow and he had alot of pop and speed in his punches... anyone who floors Carl Froch and almost beats him deserves alot of credit IMO.

    He was a shell of his former self when he fought Abraham. Horrible to watch. I honestly feel his stamina issues were in his head more than anything... he almost knew he was going to be in trouble in the later rounds.

    I saw him fight this little white guy ( forget his name) during his supposed comeback and Taylor looked seriously frustrated and fouled a little bit. I think he was angry because normally he would be able to kill a guy like this and he wasn't. He stunned the guy once the whole fight and the ref stopped it. No way was the guy out on his feet. I'm guessing the ref was as disappointed as me . It really killed me to see Taylor like this ...I hope he is and stays retired and finds something decent to do with the rest of his life.
