    Why ?

    Boxing world deserves better champions than Taylor for sure. Can't even handle one guy after he won all the belts.

    Rumor has it that Taylor had a bad dream that a King was chasing him in a tank. He has no choice but to give up them belts.

    He's literally just throwing away his belts as if he doesn't care about being an undisputed champion. And for what, having 1 off night against Caterall? I have a feeling things are gonna go downhill for Taylor from here on.

    Vacating his belts so Catterall doesn't have a hope in hell of becoming a unified champion. Ridiculous

    That sh#t aint right :ohno

    He's vacating the belts so that he can fight Catterall. He has mandatories, none of whom are Jack Catterall.

    He has 3 mandatories currently ?

    I thought Zepeda was the only one

    Why . It’s simple,so that if he does lose to Catteral as he should have done in the first fight Catteral can not be Undisputed Champion. Low imo .

    But he's not throwing them away really he was going to give them up and go to 147 anyway so it doesn't really matter.. and it's not like he's literally throwing them away you do get to keep the belt once you've won it lol.. Taylor is done with 140 he's just sticking around for this Catterall fight, fighting under all those belts requires mandatorys and he's already stated Catterall is the last fight at 140 and it would complicate this fight if he kept those belts.. are you all new to this sport or what lol

    Goddammit today's boxing scene is sad. I've won and lost plenty of fights for absolutely nothing. I wish I could live that life for the money they can potentially make.
