Curious as hell if Taylor actually goes through with this fight. I’m thinking maybe he tries to see if he can get a big fight at 147 and if not MAYBE Puello. Puello is a decent fighter, probably not worth the risk to stay at 140 unless he’s pretty sure he’ll have a big fight at the weight coming up next…. and not yet another mandatory. Maybe Teo or Kambosos – Haney winner.
I thought Taylor said he was moving up? If that’s the case why would stick around for a mandatory?
