    He isn't retired until the belt is vacated. And if he is retired the belt should be vacated immediately .

    This is like me getting a boner and saying I'm not using it unless it's on Pamela Anderson (90s Edition)

    In other words, not happening

    Sounds distinctly like he's laying the groundwork for a duck to me. Whether it be Rougarou, Matias or someone else I can sense it. I'd love to see Matias drag him into a living nightmare, like he's unbeknownst been spiked with a super duper dose and everytime he closes his eyes all he sees are demons from hell.

    Those are some quality wins. Not too many guys have beaten 2 opponents of that caliber walking around. Still doesn't justify 100m payday.

    Lol!! I mean, he’s a good fighter no doubt but 100M??!!! Nah. Usyk has accomplished more than he has and isn’t getting anywhere near that in boxing’s main division!!

    Just no. Get real Teo. And buh bye if not!

    You just mad because he savaged your Scottish bum boy. At least that's a move up from shagging sheep in the Highlands.

    He could get more than $1 mill if he fights Haney or Tank, Canelo.

    No I just think he's an insufferable ****. I actually used to be a fan of his before he and his plague rat father started being extremely disrespectful to Loma.

    I hate Haney too but he didn't even beat Loma. However, Teofimo did legit beat him albeit he, like Haney, is way way bigger than Loma and if they were the same size he would've wound up in the ICU. And he ducked the rematch like a coward. Just like Salido did and Haney will.

    I was on record for having a double KO with Taylor and Lopez getting KO'd at the same time. Lopez' father is indeed a POS but Taylor talks a LOT of trash talk, too much in fact. Regarding ducking a rematch, Taylor needs to rematch Catterall. Otherwise it's like Dempsey ducking

    What would be a good fighy for this guy?

    There is no huge money matchup out there for him.

    Closest thing to it would be a gervonta fight or a ryan garcia one.

    Taylor's trash talk is false bravado. That's always been obvious to me. Whilst he can come across as a *****, he comes from a very small town, and even though he can rub me up the wrong way at times with the way he acts too, I don't think he finds it comfortable being under the spotlight.

    He should rematch Catterall but not next because that would be just as dumb as fighting Teofimo in his backyard after the long layoff and looking like trash in the first Catterall fight.

    If that 1m figure is true, that’s disgraceful.

    As annoying as he is, he is a former undisputed champion who is now the ring magazine champ at 140 irrespective of the circumstances surrounding his wins.

    Bob seems like a **** promoter if that’s all he can feasibly give him. Should have promoted him more. Maybe time to give Hearn a call.

    Teo should be making atleast 2-4m for regular fights, and maybe close to 6-7m in meaningful fights. Promoted terribly, but atleast he is making some headlines through some of the crazy stuff he says. Maybe that helps the purse going forward

    His a free agent now and his hurting that multiple promoters are not offering him big money.

    Not sure what this means as it's nonsensical but if you think Josh is from the highlands then better double check your geographical knowledge.

    From Loch Ness?

    Son, I've been all over Scotland from one end to the other on geological trips from Berwick on Tweed to Dumfries and to all the big towns on business. Daughter No 1 was married in Wedderburn Castle, Duns.
    I'm all in on the geography..and geology.
