    Agreed. Top notch fighter, but he has fought only 1 historically relevant "good fighter". Prograis is his only opponent that anybody will remember 5-10 years from now.

    Numerous very good fighters

    Rougarou
    Unified champ JCR
    Postol

    I'm not talking about history

    He's only had 18 fights

    P4P #5 after just 18 fights

    Unified a division in 18 fights

    Beaten 5 world champions in 18 fights

    Most world champions didn't win their first world title until they'd had at least 20 fights if not more

    Let alone unify all four in 18 fights

    Close fights are not robberies

    "We can always go back to the rematch when it makes sense to do so. We control when it happens! Until then we search for greener pastures." -Taylor management

    It is a very warranted rematch yet also not one Taylor *needs* right now at all. Should he spend the next couple years failing to face a top 5 ranked opponent at 140/147 then yes, lost opportunity. But Taylor already has built quite a nice resume in quick time.

    It's kind of you to go easy on them, think of all the weapons you've left on the table
