    I see why a rematch is needed but it’s definitely not disappointing that it’s not happening. The fight was awful to watch imo, no need for a rewind of that.

    You should buy a pair of glasses if you didnt see a robbery there, because it was QUITE obvious. We don't agree in this one. Plus teófimio would tear josh's head off. Josh's nothing special. If we are lucky enough we will see this fight happening and we will see who's right in this one.

    Why is he ducking Jack ?
    If he wants a tune-up fight before facing Jack Isn't teofimo too risky ?

    Should be a good fight, I hope Catterall gets a good fight himself though, he's due a good payday. I don't think he got step a side money when he agreed to let Taylor fight the unification fight instead of him.

    If Taylor can find the form he demonstrated in the Ramirez and Prograis fights, he beats and quite possibly stops Teo.

    I don't quite understand the Taylor is "overrated" nonsense. On his best run, he defeated most every fighter of consequence (with the exception of perhaps Zepeda) at 140lbs. The fact that he recorded a razor thin win over Prograis and a competitive triumph over Ramirez speaks more to the quality of the latter.

    Taylor at his very best was a backend of the top 10 P4P type.

    Taylor continues to play Duck Duck Goose with his opponents. Apparently Teo is the goose though who he thinks would be a much easier fight than either Jack or Regis who hes been ducking rematches with for years now.

    I would think a Catterall rematch would make more £££ than the Lopez bout. Scotland vs England and all that, 80,000 at Wembley with a decent undercard?

    Unless the Lopez fight is in the US where Lopez has fans, but let's be honest he's no "King"Ryan with respect to support.

    He'll have to be much better than he was last time out if it is Lopez, even with 20k plus in a home town football stadium.

    The longer Taylor is out of the ring the harder it’s gonna be for him to make 140 again

    Oh but you want to see Taylor fight a mediocre Lopez ? Nah just f the guy who nearly everyone saw outbox and drop Taylor. It doesn't matter that Cattrall was robbed of undisputed because Taylor vs Lopez

    Taylor KO1. It's a mismatch

    Ducking a fighter you already beat?

    But how cool would a Josh/Teo and Programs/Cat scenario be. Winner vs winner and loser vs loser.
