Charles "Bud" Taylor is considered to be one of the toughest fighters to step into the ring. Charles became a professional fighter at the age of 17. Don't let his 5'6", 120 pound frame fool you. Bud Taylor fought 163 times in 11 years. He grew up here in Terre Haute and was a well known fighting machine. At the International Boxing Hall of Fame website, I found Charles "Bud" Taylor with a amazing record of 71 wins, 23 losses, 6 draws, 63 no decisions and 37 of his wins were by knockout. He was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005. Charles Taylor was a fighter that nobody wanted to face. When people say, big things come in small packages, Charles Taylor now comes to mind.
