Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: If I Have To Make Mandatory Against Catterall Next, I Have To Do That Next

I think Arum is gonna make a sweet deal to fight Crawford, so he won't be staying at 140

[Monty Fisto]

I think he should stay at 140 for a while. He's the champ and a champ defends his title. Nice for the Scottish boxing fans as well. Title fight in his homeland to consolidate his position. Then start negotiating for Teo to come up and fight him.

unlike Crawford who avoided Lipinets Taylor should at least defend his titles once, like Usyk did vs Bellew, and staying at 140 for a while isnt a bad idea either

Lopez,Haney,Garcia and Tank could all be at 140 within 12 months so jumping to 147 to fight Crawford seems like a bad move to me.Would a payday against Crawford really be any more than any of the big name lightweights?Taylor has very little chance of beating Crawford and will have no bargaining power when he loses.

Taylor deserves a homecoming fight, the guy fought a lot of undefeated guys on his 140 undisputed run. He's a very good fighter but I don't see him having success at 147, don't get me wrong, he is quality but 147 is so much deeper than 140, I can even see a couple of 135 guys beating him.

Caterral a southie too. It would be a shocker if Caterral steals all those belts and we get a PBC 154 style of mess. Imagine Caterral being “Undisputed.” That would be weird

Jack is a good lad and deserves his shot not least for being a good sport, but he'll get his clock well and truly cleaned.

He's got a better chance than Bud's previous opponents. Let's just say that.

Vacate the WBO title! Who cares, he's already made history! Teofimo Lopez is just as big a draw as Crawford, especially if the fight is in Scotland or Madison Square Garden!

I think he should just start getting his feet wet at 147. 140 is cleared and Just boxrec warrior’ing catherall, pretty sure he sucks.
