We rush a fighter to the mountain top just to have the pleasure of watching them fall.
Former middleweight champion Jermain Taylor is all too familiar with the fickle nature of fight fans. It was just over three years ago when Taylor was on top of the middleweight division. He was beloved in his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. He was tabbed 'the next great champion' by HBO, who routinely televised his fights. Fans and media were enamored with Taylor's 'aw shucks' southern charm and freakish athleticism.
Inside the ring, he was equally impressive. A 2000 Olympic Bronze medalist, Taylor quickly ascended the ranks of the middleweight division, dominating the routine confidence-building opponents the way a highly-touted prospect should. When you had a fighter, immensely popular in his hometown with an engaging personality and the backing of the preeminent boxing broadcast network, well, one does not have to be a genius to understand that Taylor was destined to be a star.
The coronation of Taylor came on the evening of July 16, 2005. On that night, he shocked the world by snatching the middleweight title from its long reigning ruler Bernard Hopkins
