All they need to do is keep him away from guys that can punch. There's no reason he couldn't be matched with a guy like Sergio Mora for example. A light hitting, beatable name. Then if he wins that fight step up to a more experienced guy like Sam Soliman who again isn't a big puncher, but is older and beatable at this stage.

Certainly he'd make more money fighting guys like that than a scrub thats 6-13-1 in his last 20 fights. Fighting better guys also keeps his name in the mix, or at the very least just outside the mix which only means bigger paydays ahead.

What's the difference? Nobody cares about seeing Sam Soliman or Sergio Mora...lol...I don't understand why anyone would want Taylor to stay "just outside the mix" at this point.

You expect way to much from a fighter that is long past due for retirement.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think Taylor should be retired.

However, if he IS going to keep fighting, and his reason for doing it is monetary he should be putting himself in a position to make money.

Fighting a guy that's got a losing record doesn't accomplish that. Fighting a guy like Mora or Soliman that has a pulse that could possibly land on the undercard of a bigger profile fight would in turn allow Taylor to make more money in the future if he beats one of those guys.

To me it just seems foolish to fight losing record guys.

When is the last time an undisputed champion of the world just a few years back was reduced to fighting losing record fighters? Either retire or fight guys with a pulse (but are still beatable) is my opinion.
