Feel like when he won the undisputed he mentally just kinda checked out and tbf he had a tough run of fights leading to that. Postol,Baranchyk,Prograis,Ramirez were all tough fights for him and with injury’s from camps and the fights themselves and not living really the cleanest life out the ring aswell you can see why he deteriorated why also boiling down to 140 for way to long

Taylor achieved something no Brit ever has in becoming undisputed champion...

Eh? Lennox Lewis, Lloyd Honeyghan, Alan Minter, plus several during the one-belt era.

Anyway, as to the substance of the article. The comparisons between Taylor and Hatton are stark. Both drinkers who looked unhealthy between fights. Taylor should focus on a clean life as a priority in my opinion.

Smash is mostly a cool dude, but he does have a resentful side that emerges on occasion.
