Thread: Do you think its Taylor's weight that is affecting his performance?

I think taylor needs to move up, he is too large for the middleweight division, in his last fight against spinks he looked extremely lethargic. given that spink's style is to hit and run but taylor never went after him like a bull in order to get spinks to fight more often. If the weight is not his problem then I think taylor just lacks the killer instinct.

It could be he could be scared of running out of gas thats why he does'nt throw as much now and he ran out of gas abit against Ouma he went flat after round 4

To be honest even Hopkins fight he gased out he hasn't looked great for ages and he is very lucky to still have his belt.

yeh i read about that. Its bad news if your gassing out after 4. He just isn't a high output sorta fighter and that will be his undoing at some point. Everyone can see it.
