Jermain Taylor tapering down 12 days out?

Just read an article were he was saying he's tapering down his training 12 days out. Seems like he should be training at maximum intensity now and tapering down 7 days out no. What do you guys think?

No. I agree with you. But everyone's body is different. 12 days seems like a lot, but maybe his body needs the rest. I'd say 5-7 days is a good amount to coole down and get your marbles together. More like 4-5 days for the fighters who have super energy.

Alot of athletes have been known to taper 14 days out, i just have a hard training session about 3 or days before, a light run the day after then nothing for the rest.
