    Which is your problem from the start...... Now go play with your dolls and let the grown people converse without your crying.

    Too little, too late.
    5 fights in 5 years is just ridiculous.
    His inactivity and age will undoubtedly catch up with him. Fight camps should be easier for him now, but at the same time he will be fighting bigger opponents - Taylor usually enjoyed a size advantage at 140.

    What a shame, because I really liked him, and he had an excellent run. But his last real win was in 2021 against Ramirez, and that fight was way closer than it should have been.

    Should've probably done so after he unified 140. Not that he'd have made a serious wave, would've become a scalp on Crawford's resume after a couple of decent wins at best.

    I think there was a time when he really was a quality fighter - although I never thought he would have done well moving up when prime Crawford and Spence were running the show.

    As others have said, inactivity, not caring for his body enough between fights, and probably too long at a lower weight has pretty much did him in at this point.
