    I had mentioned this a while back, but I assume (don't know alot about the site being referenced) it's official that he and Ozell Nelson have parted ways and he has in fact reunited with Pat Burns. Look for a comback fall 2011 (not in article, this is what I gather from folks I know), they will stay at 168 (I wish he'd go back down to 160 but...), and look for him to come back all guns blazing.

    He never officially retired from he just said he wanted to take a break. Just as long as he isn't matched with power/pressure fighters I feel Taylor can still be a solid top 10 fighter.

    Nah he can't training the way he did when he was with Odell, but the way Burns conditioned him, I believe he can make it, now that's not to say he "should" or "shouldn't" but I have no doubt he can.

    I think it's too little, too late. He can't beat any of the top guys at 168, and I am afraid he might get seriously hurt trying to do so.

    He needs to start slow. Start with non punchers. Slowly move up the latter and opposition.

    Of course he can make 160. Anybody can lose 8lbs more. It's a matter of how much power would he lose, but of course he can. Roy Jones Jr made 168.
