    Having reviewed the situation of the grave injustice at the weekend. The truth is that no investigation can overturn the terrible decision and the only remedy for Josh Taylor in order to redeem his reputation is to grant Cateralll an immediate rematch at 140 with his titles on the line.

    Yes I know he is struggling to make 140 but he needs to dance the dance one more time and it’s a much bigger fight that is PPV worthy.

    If Josh Taylor is a truly great fighter like Azumah Nelson and Floyd Mayweather then he needs to grant Caterall an immediate rematch like Azumah did with Fenech going to his hometown in Australia and Floyd did with Maidana and Castillo provided he believes he really won the fight. Ditto Froch and Groves. If he does not the stench will define his career which will be unfortunate to say the least. It’s up to Josh Taylor.

    That would be the fair thing to do, but I would really be surprised if he would

    I agree. His reputation will never fully recover unless he gives Caterall a rematch & does a number on him - like he was supposed to do first time round.

    He's clearly finished at 140

    That was not the Josh Taylor we've seen plough through people inside 18 fights to become undisputed at 140... and not just anyone, good fighters. I get what people are saying but he clearly needs the move to 147 as he's outgrown the weight and can no longer perform to his full ability.

    He was off it from the very first bell on Saturday.

    I agree JT should give JC a rematch but what if they rob JC again like they did to GGG?

    But if the rematch does happen it has to be in Scotland again though only this time with a Scottish ref and all three judges coming from Bonnie Scotland.

    And if JC requests neutral judges I hope JT categorically refuses to allow that to happen even it's just one neutral judge.

    imho he needs to move up

    Nevertheless if he rematches caterall for me it is ok too. But I would prefer him to move up.

    Maidana STILL didn't get to wear his preferred gloves in the rematch. Floyd was a dickhead in and out of the ring.

    Maidana gave pbf a harder fight than your God pac did let that sink in.

    Yes Taylor should give him a rematch the weight bully is moving up to 147 where he belongs.

    TBH, I've lost some respect for Taylor with his post-fight behaviour.

    He knew he'd lost, then went all bravado claiming the win & since seen the public's reaction and is rapidly trying to save face with this "I'll rematch at 147" . He knows that Cattrall wanted the 140 belts, not a W vs Taylor on his record in a non-title fight...

    Maidana still didn't get to wear his gloves, though. Let that sink in.
