    Considering that Josh Taylor didn't look great when he fought Teofimo Lopez and Jack Catterall, who did a better job against Josh Taylor?

    Once it started going the wrong way, Taylor had no shot at turning around his fight against Lopez. The Catterall fight was a battle throughout. Lopez did the better job.

    I will say this though, Jack is slippery and better defensively than Taylor. He could pose a lot of issues for Teo.

    Jack is better all round. Would love to see a 4man with Teo, Prograis, J.Cat and Haney

    I scored both fights 9-3 so on the scorecards both did equally well.

    But Lopez being the harder puncher really put the hurt on Taylor, had they fought another round Lopez would of KO'ed him. Catterall in comparison frustrated and shut down Taylor with his counters and clinching.

    So Taylor struggled more with Lopez because he took so much more punishment even though he lost the same number of rounds.

    He's been terrible since his change of trainer.

    The fight I would love to see at 140 is Teofimo Lopez vs Jack Catterall to really figure out the man at 140

    Catteral by a wide margin. He had trouble laying a glove on Jack while he messed up Lopezs face.

    One of those I’d have to watch again back to back, hard to pick a decisive winner. He struggled equally bad in both that’s for sure.

    Styles make fights. Even if Cat beats Teo, Prograis beats him imo.

    Taylor vs Catterall looked like an amature bout considering the amount of grappling, fouls and dirty tactics that were involved.
    Against Teo the Referee actually did his job and didnt allow so much blatant fouls which allowed Teo to put in the work and win.
