He's allegedly broke and facing lawsuits out the ass from his cousin, attorneys, and the people he harassed at a MLK parade in 2015. I wouldn't be shocked to see Taylor off himself eventually.
taylor seemed like a nice, humble and quiet kid coming out of the olympics and early in his pro career. the brain damage he suffered is real
Yeah, society would probably be better off. The guy is seriously dangerous and luckily he hasn't killed anyone (that we know of). He almost killed his cousin, almost killed that guy at the parade because his kid dropped his championship belt, he beat the crap out of some guy in the mental hospital. After pulling the gun at the parade, he went on some bizarre rant about the parade not having enough food for the kids. He has serious mental issues, it seems very likely from brain trauma from fighting. It's a sad story. He shouldn't have been given a license to box again after he had the brain bleed.
Funny, you can look at a body and think that guy looks bulletproof...........Taylor had the body of a granite God and a skull of pure drywall.
Post of the thread. I have to add though that Taylor was a black kid who grew up in Arkansas; things were never going to go well for him....
Come on mate...plenty of black kids have come up harder than him. He was a feted Olympian and was moved quickly into a title shot. He got hurt and went mad. Simple as.
His hometown has nothing to do with it. Most brothas in Arkansas aren't bat shit crazy. It's CLEARLY CLEARLY brain damage. It's no coincidence that the guy lost ALLLL his screws directly after the Froch and Abraham KO's. Same thing happened to Bowe.... the guy was a fuckin teddy bear and the perfect family man.... until he got brain damaged, then he's kidnapping his ex-wife and kids at knife point.
Bowen was a teddy bear when he was cheap shotting Larry Donald at a press conference and hitting opponents on the breaks and after the bell consistently? Bowe was always a cunt
Pretty big stretch from something minor like punching a guy at a press conference and KIDNAPPING your family with a knife, Dontcha think? Bowe was known as a loving husband and father pre-brain damage. Him being a bully as a fighter has nothing to do with it.
Any man that has been married and has kids and then gets divorced and cannot see his kids as often can relate to madness. That can happen to any man. Bowe took it too far though and that's because he was always a cunt
Bowe did other weird shit. Remember when he joined some branch of the military for whatever reason? That sure didn't last long.
LOL..........Norton said he joined the Marines as he had dropped out of College and his father told him "if you want to stay here you need to get a job" So, in Nortons own words..........." A week later I joined the Marine Corps". Today, Nortons father would have flung him out of the house FOR going to College.
No Doubt... VERY Humble, Kind, Accessible, Aw'Shucks Country Kid...Clearly, he's Been SOMEONE ELSE the Last Several Years... REED
agREED... REED Knows a Few Brothers from Arkansas and While they're All COUNTRY as Hell, they're Also All Well Adjusted, Hard Working, Responsible Dudes, NONE Of Whom Got Punched in the Face for a Living... Taylor was as Genuinely LIKABLE as Any Fighter You've Ever Met, Outside of the Ring...Clear Case of Brain Damage... Sad Part is his Mother was a Nurse, if REED's Not Mistaken, and Even During his SUCCESS, She Spoke Openly of her Fears of him Suffering Brain Damage... She's Got to be GUTTED to See the Condition her Son is In Today... REED
Ken Norton Leon Spinks Riddick Bowe (LOL) Ray Mercer Isn't the service supposed to teach you discipline? Seems like it only worked on Norton.
Gene Tunney Jack Dempsey (oddly enough post career) Gunboat Smith Carmen Basilio Rocky Marciano Lew Jenkins not only served but was apparently some sort of crazy badass
