No power, will have limited success at WW.
Boots probably lining this guy up.

Taylor. Teo. Garcia. Haney. All likely fighting at 147 this year.

Has Taylor really got anything left?

Yea he has a lot of bills left that he has to pay so 147 seems about right...............

I think we will have problems with the power at WW, he had a long amateur career, injuries...I think he is older in boxing years than 32.

I hope I am wrong, but I feel Taylor may be spent. He won the rematch with Catterall (he lost the first ome in my opinion), bjt was robbed. He also lost to the very average Teo Lopez. Don't know if he will have the power to be a success at 147.

Good test fight at the weight. Undercard shaping up nicely too.

Excellent matchup , we've sparred Ekow and he's on fire, anything less than excellent from Taylor won't do here .Ekow has worked it through the hard way , I would love to see him add Josh's name .

Taylor is washed. If he can't compete at 140, how's he supposed to compete at 147?

There were big plans for Taylor after he won the tournament. He was getting lined up for Bud but he started to stumble down to the point he was at. He is getting flak now but he did have a good run. He might have burnt out quickly.
