From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quincy Taylor (born July 18, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, U.S.), was a professional boxer in the Middleweight (160lb) division.

Taylor, a southpaw, turned pro in 1986 and in 1994 landed a shot at WBC Middleweight Title holder Julian Jackson. Taylor scored a shocking upset TKO victory over Jackson, but lost the title in his next fight to Keith Holmes. After a two year layoff and a victory in 1998, followed by a three year layoff and a victory in 2001, Taylor retired from boxing.
