    For his next fight I wouldn't even move him up at all. I think he needs to get comfortable. Maybe take on a series of lower level fights on an accelerated time schedule so it would also help with his stamina.

    I don't disagree, he doesn't need to "test himself" per se', he just needs good rounds. He knows the level he can perform at, it's just a matter of getting timing down, getting used to getting hit, and rationing his stamina.

    :deal I think Mora would be good for him to get his confidence back.

    Agreed. Year or two then title shot, if he wins he could retire
    and go down as one of the best middleweights. Bad run at
    Super middle weight I was concerned about his health,
    figured he was shot. He'll stay at middleweight the rest of
    his career. His jab looked good the other night. That dude
    got under his skin a little though

    Taylor's being moved by Al Haymon, so I imagine he'll get a handfull of fights on Showtime against very overmatched/low priced fighters like Vera, Simon, Lorenzo, Ayala while waiting for a big money cash out fight.

    It's early to assume he'll get "cashed out", now that may be plan, but plans tend to get ****ed up in situations like those.

    Sergio Martinez. Taylor would beat him like he beat Hopkins.
