At least he’s vacated the belt allowing someone else to fight for it. The WBC let Fury keep it for 5 months after he ‘retired’ until he changed his mind.
Yes definitely, was saying this a while ago even with Taylor's poor form and Benn's sudden "improvement" and size advantage there is still a huge gap in ability and levels. Mismatch.
I don't claim to know the solution but based purely on in ring performance last twice it's hard to see where he gets those 2 wins .
Arum has the WBO in his pocket mate - look at Lopez. Lost his belts, moved up, fought Pedro Campa and Sandor Martin and became mandatory. Taylor won’t have to fight world beaters to get into the WBO mandatory position as the top 15 are crap barring Ortiz who is going the WBA route anyway.
This content is protected Good article for anyone who has a spare 5 mins. I said before the fight there’s no way he could have recovered from that foot injury properly and Joe McNally’s post-fight interview hinted at that. The article also touches on Top Rank needing to fill the June 10 date. Ideally Taylor wouldn’t have fought until July or August.
I presume the winner of Spence-Crawford will vacate the belts and move up, so at some point Taylor may have a beatable opponent for a belt at 147. Going out as a two weight world champion, and a former undisputed champion at 140, would leave a great legacy despite what the neysayers who seemingly expect perfection say.
100%. Never known a fighter become so hated for a controversial decision. It’s like a full on media witch hunt. That waanker Sam Jones in the last few days doing interview after interview saying Taylor is finished, lost to Prograis, lost to Catterall, no big fights anymore for him etc. Unbelievable disrespect.
its because his persnality mate taylor is a horrible wee fella would never invite him round for tea defo wouldnt give him a drink hed start a rukkus in an empty room
Got a bit of a screw loose but at least he’s himself pal. Doesn’t put on an act like Benn and isn’t a fake bellend like Bellew.
i cant argue with that mate bellew is a knob bud he says he doesnt like cameras hes always in front of one the bloke is a crap personality to how folk like him ive no idea
