Good article not just the usual repetitive dross.

I can't stand a writer that perpetrates alphabet nonsense. Josh Taylor is the world champion, not Prograis or anyone else who wins a garbage belt Taylor was extorted into giving up.

Boxing hasn't evolved, it has devolved. The old school had techniques and styles that modern fighters have no clue about.

Good to see Regis studying the past, though.

You’re just gonna pretend that Catteral fight didn’t happen? Who was the garbage that night? Taylor that’s who, and all his belts should belong to someone else. You’re overlooking that fact.

Does Usyk know anything about the use of the falling step, the power line, and shoulder whirl to deliver maximum power?

Is he aware of the surge for shovel hooks? Does he use inside triples and outside triples?

Josh Taylor isn't going to do any such thing. I'm not saying he isn't good, he did beat Prograis, I saw it. I'm saying Taylor is done at 140. I don't think a nutritionist can fix this and the longer he plays it out, the bigger he'll be.
