    As much as I agree with your sentiments, I have to wonder if there is an unseen hand at play in all of this. I watched a video awhile back. It was in the lead-up to the Catterall debacle. Taylor's eyes glowed when walking the camera through his preferred place of leisure. It made me wonder if something had been satisfied, achievement-wise, in his previous match, and that life was now really about sitting back on his laurels with a small gathering surrounding him each night, nursing stiffies, with everyone listening. The rumors of arrogance, cut corners and waning focus punctuated Taylor heading into the Catterall showdown. Perhaps relocating to the US for training in relative seclusion might be a good thing. That said, if Taylor has subconciously scaled the mountain, his fire may have ever so slightly, yet critically, dimmed.
    Taylor's going through a gauntlet of the best fighter's in the 140 pound division, and becoming the undisputed champion.was an impressive achievement.
    His action's there after have hindered, and hurt his career to a certain extent, because now he has many detractor's for not fighting Catterall, or anyone else in over a year.
    Even worse than that he vacated all of the belt's that he had fought so hard for, in order to win them through blood, sweat, and tear's.
    Then not fighting for over a year, then all of the bull**** excuse's for postponing his fight with Catterall, it's been such a waste of time.
    At the age of 32 these are some of the worst decision's that he could've made for his boxing career, maybe he was hurt from all of those tough fight's, and needed time to heal.

      Look at the circumstances around Taylor. That's why Teo took it without questions.
      He's still gotta fight the man. Circumstances be damned.

        I don't know Taylor that well, but Sandor boxed his ears off and dropped him twice with little shots. I didn't score the Sandor fight so not sure how bad the scores were off, but Taylor does seem to be well put together and will need a dominant showing to get the scores. Bob is a known fixer.



        I've got a video about Teo on the cutting room floor ready to post. A bit embarassing for Teo to be fair. Been waiting for him to be in the media to release it so it does well. Stay tuned lol.

          Yeah, but a man at a huge disadvantage. Teo would never have taken this fight if Taylor was at his best. Not even close. Teo even refused Barboza. He knows why he took it.
