Hell Taylor is already talking about retiring. fast way to get dropped, by telling everyone you thinking about retirement.. all that should be left in silence.
HBO rarely introduces new talent though...they reheat all the oldies but goodies until they wash out.

I think that Taylor wants to talk retirement based on the grounds that he's convinced he's bested the best 2 middles of the game legitimately & the fans still have little to no love for him.

Maybe I'm wrong there...but really...where does Taylor go from here? His heart would have to be set on boxing 100% to make a run like Hopkins did...& I just don't think that he's at that point.
