    Go up to 147 and see how much making the weight at 140lbs is an issue and go from there. Crawford and Spence won't stick around at 147 after they fight but it's still a tough division for sure.

    Never known a fighter, especially one who’s achieved as much as Josh has, recieve so much stick for a couple of bad performances.

    A fair bit of the reaction was self inflicted with his response after the Catterall decision.

    Just said this in another thread but he had people saying they were gonna kill his missus and posting her work address online… I’d lose my head as well.

    It was a close fight, no denying it, but Teofimo was definitely the Victor, just....

    Maybe Taylor needs to go up in weight now, but agree with the first poster, he leaves his chin up a fair bit, and he's a knockout waiting to happen, particularly against the sharks of the 147 division

    It’s a bit different on the achievement side of it though. Taylor beat the iron of the division and reigning champions, where as AJ picked up vacant belts against a has been in Wlad and never was x2 in Martin and Parker.

    @147, the obvious fight, as a UK spectacle, is v Benn.

    Guaranteed almost instant Sell Out anywhere in the UK.

    Josh Taylor cleaned out his division while Joshua cleaned up the PPV Loot.

    I didn't know that, I'd struggle to ignore this too. Neither have impressed in their last fights, rematch be good with Jack. But perhaps needs to go to 147 now.

    All he said in the ring was he thought he won the fight Jim mate. Can’t recall a fighter ever saying they thought they lost after getting a decision.

    He lost a ton of respect for his reaction to the Catterall fight and then not rematching him.

    147. Too tight at the weight.
