Who is Josh Taylor? -Freddie Roach

I'm the guy that beat your fighter, Baranchyk and took his title. - Josh Taylor

Like 'El Gato' Jack Catterall will look better on your resume, Tart-Tomato

are you taking Catterall to beat triple T?

Its a 50/50 fight, I'm leaning toward Jack Catterall but I think Josh Taylor gets another gift, in Ireland.

Pac doesn't know dude! Why would he fight a man he doesn't know?

But he knew who Brandon Rios was, right? A guy who had lost to Alvarado and had no shot at beating PAC BUT PAC knew him and how great he was?

Taylor is a unified champ at 140, something PAC has never done (or unify any titles) but PAC doesn’t know him? Ha ha ha!! The delusions never stop!!

Taylor is not popular in the US. Not many know him. Pacquiao knows Rios because he is more popular in the US.

That’s what it sounds like to me. I think he’s above this at this point.

He said it would be an honour to step in the ring with Pac but doesn't think he'll get as much recognition as it's an aged Pac, which is pretty accurate and understandable as he has previously said Pac is one of his boxing idols.

Don't see how saying the truth is begging you must be reading something else.

Ok. I just don’t see why he’d even mention Manny at this point. He’s so above that imo.

I see him in with Teo or Crawford level opponents now. He’s close to breaking out big.

I'm new to boxing and would like to learn more about this Josh Taylor. Show me which fights of his against elite p4p fighters I should watch so I can become enlightened?

Really. Because the fight I saw he won fairly comfortably, much wider than the BS cards suggested. Should have been a stoppage if not for a poor ref. And it was, to be honest a below par performance also. He performed better against Prograis, Barynchyk and Postol, than against Ramirez. Pac would be a tough fight, and if he performs as he did against Ramirez it would not be so good. But if he hits his top form he has a chance. But as of right now Josh is right, he gets very little credit if he won that.

If 43 year old Manny sparks Josh Taylor, he will get very little credit.
