Will Taylor be better at 168?

[freedom213]

Taylor seems to have a stamina problem that could be weight related or could just be an issue, a move would likely help but it wont solve any of his other problems

[jamesbrown]

his weaknesses are defense 1st stamina 2nd...

I think it would be good for him. I don't know how much longer he could stay at MW, plus he seemed like a big MW, maybe not as big as Pavlik, but still good size. At 168 he won't have to lose as much weight and I think he will still have good power. Plus there are many good fights to be made at 168 or above for him.

168 is a much tougher division these days (than 160); he'll have more trouble with all the big punchers in that division.

wil miranda be better? he almost failed to make weight against pavlik and was like a LHW come fight time

Yeah your right last night's fight proved that Taylor has a hard time against pressure fighters with power and the SMW division has quite a few of those guys. We'll have to wait and see though and see how it plays out.

Taylor is a tense fighter, he doesn't follow instructions, and he is easy to hit. If didn't change after 6 championship fights, he never will.

very true statement. Steward couldnt change him so maybe this loss will motivate him to improve and change if thats possible.
