I knew Josh Taylor wasn't all that when..

& jack Caterall!

 

Undefeated and undisputed until he found , beat 3 undefeated champions to get the belts. Also took the 0 from Catterall and Ohara Davies amongst others. Beat Crawford's best prime win too.

 

Taylor vs Prograis in 2019 was literally the 2 top guys at 140 going at it for 12 rounds. It was a fantastic fight, and neither of them was the same after it, despite Taylor going on to win every single belt at 140. Taylor isn't as good as other undisputed champions of the 4-belt era, but any boxer who reaches that stage has completed the game, regardless of how people rate him subjectively, his resume on paper is a shoo-in for first ballot HOF.

 

Maybe don't post every daft thought you have.

 

Easy to say that in hindsight.

Prograis was undefeated and a respected name at that time it was considered to be the two top fighters at 140 fighting eachother.

Not to mention Taylor/Programs was a FOTY contender in one of the best technically skilled action fights of the modern era.

No one at the time was disappointed with either fighters performance infact both fighters came out with alot of praise after that fight.

 

The Catterall fight was an absolute robbery, dude. Not only did Catterall land more consistently but he landed cleaner as well

 

Imagine saying a undisputed champ ain't all that

 

I've seen it said the Taylor is a known alcoholic, which someone can get away with when they are young, but late twenties, early thirties and they will start to fall to pieces.

It fits Taylor's career momentum as well, which is a shame because he was an exciting fighter for a bit there.

 

So he's both "very good" per your last post AND "not all that" per the thread title ? Which one of these two things you are saying that are completely at odds with each other is "the truth"?
