    Spence's last opponent was age 42.

    Maybe Taylor would look better against a 42 year old opponent.

      Was his opponent a bum like Andre Berto or a journeyman like Alexander Brand, who he SHOULD have KOed?
      He should have ko'd that guy.

        Should Ward have KOed age 40 journeyman Alexander Brand?

        Should Mayweather have KOed a PED-abusing bum like Berto?

          Age has nothing to do with it. Its about experience. Taylor is still learning in the pro ranks. Spence has had 20+ fights as a pro. No wonder there's a difference ffs lol.

          Writing a prospect off after 1 poor performance is ridiculous. As I said lots of fighters who went on to be elite level operators have struggled against bums, and some have even lost. Bigger talents than Taylor have had poor performance against opponents picked to look good against early in their career. **** happens.

            Was a poor performance to what has been before, too much time looking for the knockout. What he needed though, awkward fighter with a chin, same height, good matchmaking, hed have learnt a lot from it.
