Taylor hates boxing? I do remember him saying he doesn't watch boxing much to begin with.

Yeah he only fights for the money. I think they stated this in the Taylor-Wright pre-fight.

any fat journeyman with a losing record that has no problem taking fights on a days notice...those are the guys that are purely after the money

Ray Robinson didn't like fighting, he gave it up to pursue a career as a dancer but returned for the money I believe.

Taylor has said he likes to box, but isn't a huge fan of the sport, if that makes sense... he wants to do it, not watch it so much.

So yeah, he obviously fights for money (his statement after the Spinks fight made that obvious -- "I'll fight the best fight for the most money") but he doesn't HATE boxing.

ALL OF THEM!

Yes, Sugar Ray Robinson has been quoted saying that he hated boxing.
