Taylor was whooped by Prograis. Taylor was whooped by Catterall. Taylor is over rated

    The only thing that's trash is the OP

    I've always thought he was overrated. Not that he's a bad fighter, he's a very good fighter, just not anywhere near the top half of the P4P rankings as he was before the Catterall fight.

    His skillset has never impressed me very much, he uses his size to physically overwhelm fighters, that works and will likely continue to work as long as he remains at 140lbs and avoids a rematch with Catterall who stylistically was problematic for him. But if he moves up I suspect he will look far less dominant, he knows it too, which is why he hasn't moved up despite the fact we know he struggles at the weight.

    Just passive aggression toward Ben is what I'm seeing. Never forget that without those pink pool noodle workouts, Fury would never have dodged so many punches in Wilder I.

    The difference between Sugar Hill and Ben is that Ben was smart enough to realise Fury wasn't a devastating puncher, so encouraged him to not exchange stupidly with Wilder and use his boxing instead. Hill thought it was a good idea for Fury to stand in front of Wilder and still take over half a fight to stop him both times. If Hill had trained Fury for Wilder I, Fury would have been KO'd cold. Hill blew smoke up his behind and pretended he'd made Fury a one-punch KO artist. That almost got Fury killed in Wilder 3. Fury needed 11 rounds to stop Wilder. His power was no different than before.

    Catterall yes, Prograis certainly not whooped but a close debatable fight. Teofimo Lopez was arguably whooped by Kambosis and Sandor Martin. Even when you factor in Lopez's stellar win vs Lomachenko which was debatable imo, Taylor still has a better body or work than him.

    Teo has Sandor Martin issues.

    Perhaps he's overrated, was certainly made to look that way against Caterall.....he's still a good fighter and although I'm not a fan of his character, hope he does a job on Teo.

    I thought Regis won but it was a very close fight and I won't argue Josh's win. Catterall was an aberration of a fight. Both Regis and Catterall are beyond Teo so his struggles with them cannot be correlated to the upcoming Teo fight.

    I can’t see anything other than a brutal beat down that might actually ruin Teo.

    IT never ceases to amaze that the FACT Tayor got spanked by Catteral, and now he gets an undisputed fight with Lopez, who deserves nothing of the sort either, is worth all the noise just proves the idiots who buy this BS and rant on as if they have a clue. Throw in Davies and it is just more of the freak show.

    Maybe Caterall might just turn out to be a very tricky accomplished fighter? & Lopez got whooped by an Australian bee keeper so it's a bit rich the OP

    To further highlight how stupid this post is

    Read our the last sentence aloud, then consider Roly Romero just won a version of a world title

    Romero was beating Tank who is far better than Catterall.
