Josh Taylor anyone?

Plenty of it.

 

I hope you thaught this thread was about Katie Taylor or something.

 

hes moving up and when he does
spence will leave welter

 

Taylor is beloved by the hardcore fans on this forum as he is exactly what we want to see more of in boxing. He is risking his 0 in every fight, he's cleaning out a division, he's going to backyards to make the fights happen. He's ambitious and will push it until he finds his limit. Being the real deal in this era of email champions will eventually capture the love of the general public.

Look at Usyk. He was beloved on this forum for all the same things. All it took was him outclassing a hyped guy and his public profile is way up there where it should be. I expect the same thing to happen with Taylor if he can move up and look impressive against the frankly overhyped batch of 147ers.

 

Well he is having a domestic level fight when there are guys for him to fight who are better. He has some talent.

 

He unified the division which is great but 140 has been weak for years. He needs to rematch prograis as well that fight was razor thin. I have no idea why there is not more demand for this rematch? Fights that weren't nearly as close people were calling for rematches but for whatever reason this one goes under the radar.

 

Have you once heard Regis call for the rematch?

Dig the Rougarou, but he hasn't exactly been vocal about getting a rematch

 

I have no idea but it should be demanded it was a close fight but not only that it was a good one.

 

Nah. Josh is well respected on here it's hard to argue with what he's achieved in so few fights.
I don't think I've seen any negative threads on him at all which is rare tbh.

 

I'd bum him

 

He will lose at 147 but he has unfinished business with Prograis at 140 and lucrative fights with Teofimo Lopez, Haney and or Tank.

 

I don't hold that against him. His name is actually Anglo-Scottish.

His last 7 opponents have a combined record of 162-1 including Catterall who he fights Saturday! Josh Taylor is underrated in my opinion.

 

I guess u need to ask Prograis how much does he fancy a Taylor fight again!!! Yeah it was a close one....but the silence coming from Prograis on a rematch is deafening!! Taylor has bigger balls and wouldnt run away from any fight

 

Never said he would but a rematch needs to happen and demanded by the fans.
