Josh Taylor’s last 6 opponents have a combined record of 133-0. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/725709
Even in his early fights most of his opponents only had a few losses, damn. Crazy how Josh isn’t a big name
I’d like to see Prograis get back to fighting live dogs. Ramirez or Teofimo would be decent to see. I expect Prograis to also move up to 147 in the next couple of years so we can’t rule out a rematch whatsoever.
The answer is that he's fighting Jack Catterall. I'll watch the fight because I wouldn't miss any fight of a top 10 p4p fighter. But I'm totally unexcited and don't have much to say about the fight
I think they both have a path that will ultimately cross again....although im not so sure Prograis will fancy some more of Taylor. Would be a good scrap at 147
This forum is full of people hugging this hypejob's nuts. But you already knew it when you opened this thread.
when you read the names it is less impressive, tbh. Specially when the only decent oponent (prograis, who built his record fighting nobodies) suffered a split decission defeat at taylor's backyard (we all know what it means, dont pretend we dont). The very moment taylor fights an elite fighter, he ends in the hospital. And no, prograis is not elite. Crawford is. Spence is. Prograis is not. Nevertheless, it is not taylor's fault that 140 is a trash division though nowadays. Neither it was crawford's fault. Nor mine.
Had crawford stayed at 140 and sent taylor to a long term coma, the same people saying here that taylor is 4p4 would say that crawford needs to step up and fight decent fighters. Hilarious and sad at the same time, 'sadlarius'. EDIT: not to talk about the comments in this forum in case of crawford or canelo fighting the likes of cateral. But I repeat that it is not taylor's fault that 140 is utter trash, so I wont bash him for that. What if he moves up and defeats spence or crawford? then I will OBVIOUSLY rate him, because I'm not so idiot. But rating him p4p for winning to prograis and gathering some belts in a division that is complete and absolute trash? come on!!! give me a break.
Taylor is very underrated. He cleaned out 140 in impressive fashion. I really enjoy seeing him fight and look forward to this upcoming one. He doesn't back down from anyone, which is refreshing when you look at the situations at 147 and 135, where the best avoid each other.
