    Whats Next For Josh Taylor

    Stay at 140 & wait for Teo or Tank to come knocking?

    Move up to 147 to fight Bud or Vergil?

    Whats the next hill to climb for Josh?

    Crawford or that Jack Catterall guy probably his only options

        Crawford. When Crawford beats Taylor more fans will understand in-house voodoo

          Personally, I'd like guys who become undisputed to stay at their division and reign over it, but Taylor is a big 140 so he will probably take the Catterall mandatory and move up.

            Oh sh^t does he got a bs mando fight? I was hoping for something exciting next so I hope he moves up or drops a belt for something more compelling. But I guess if he wants an easy fight after the murderers row he's been fighting I can't be mad at that. Plus I suppose it would suck to lose a belt right after you just got them all.

              Arum said he is due the Catterall mandatory next and he's looking at Glasgow or London for that fight.

              The Crawford fight is NOT happening unless Crawford signs an extension with TR. IF/Once he does, then that fight becomes a possibility.

              If Lopez moves up to 140, that's a hell of a fight to make and likewise against Mikey Garcia.

              Taylor has plenty of options after he takes care of his mandatory.

                  Catterall in September, Zepeda in January, winner Matias/Jukembaev-Ritson/Ponce in May

                    Well I think he’s likely to defend against Catterall, just as a fairly easy fight in Scotland for the fans, then vacate and move up.

                    the big problem with being undisputed is it becomes almost impossible to keep the belts because you get so many mandatories and end up vacating for a bigger fight. Then it seems a bit silly to stay in the same division with less belts because you had to vacate some.

                    he’s cleaned out the division really, it’s time to move up. But I wouldn’t hold it against him to have a defence v Catterall in Scotland before vacating.

                    Catterall deserves a shot in a big UK fight with Taylor too, he stepped aside to let the unification go ahead. But you have to wonder if he would be half hoping Taylor vacates now and he can get his shot in an easier vacant title shot.
