Taylor has no shot beating an elite fighter in the division with that Achilles heel. He simply cannot take a punch.

The post fight interview was hilarious, but you have to look at Taylor and worry. Toney is messed up in the head, but at least he can defend himself and nobody is going to stop him. Taylor looks ready to go at any point after round 7 in all of his fights.
Funny, before the KD in the 9th round I kept thinking that Taylor might get caught with something big and KTFO, then boom, it damn near happened, I was surprised that Taylor got back up.

It seemed like a form of early "dementia" the way Taylor was ranting/raving in the post fight interview, or maybe it was just because his IQ isn't much above that of a potato.
