    Always assumed he took last night's fight because (if Hearn is to be believed) it's a huge payday and that would give him the option to fight on or not. Hopefully he doesn't have to.

    If I was Josh I would look to make the Connor Benn fight. Big money and he can become a fan favorite again by destroying Benn

    Never been the same since moving to London, ever since the move he became complacent and it took away the edge, the spite, the desire. You can get away with slacking if you're a Heavyweight, you can't do it at weights where you have to live the life, he hasn't been living the life fora while and he's got older, he's done at 140 and I suspect he's done full stop.

    He was inactive for two years before last night. With the circus surrounding Benn, if he is going to continue then he can’t afford to wait that long for it to be cleared up.

    That's probably a good shout. It would be a proper England-Scotland battle as Taylor doesn't usually endear himself to the away side.

    Taylor must be on Benn's radar fitting the profile of older names on the way down.

    Benn may now wait a couple of years for this fight after Taylor performed better than expected.

    Benn only fights in bingo halls in America now so doubt Taylor would go for it.

    Didn't hurt him when he beat Ramirez in one ;)

    I was at his comeback fight at Caribe Royale in Orlando. (Not on purpose! It was a late addition to the card) Taylor still beats Benn. Benn's shots were noticeably less damaging than before. Taylor could walk through them

    I wonder why that is.
