Taylor vs Chavez....

Thinking about it now and decided to look up what has happened to him, and WOW, what a sad turn of events that has happened to him after that fight.

It's sad, sad indeed. He was electrifying to watch in his first 20 or so fights. He won the Chavez fight, except in the eyes of Steele...

Yeah that was the first fight I ever watched... but I did always see the Muke Tyson highlights constantlys during that time.

I was thinking he won as well, even tho he looked terrible and beat up, he hit him so many more times and seemed to control the fight. Then he got hit with that right and went down hard. BUT he did get up around the count of 6-7 and nodded when asked "Are you ok"?

Dont think he was ever the same after that, and now he cant even talk correct and slurs his speech because he continued to box into his 30's.
