      Why does Teo need a catchweight anyway? Wasn't he always crying about how hard it is on his body to make the lightweight limit, that he's outgrowing 135 and will soon need to move up to 140? Now he needs a catchweight all of a sudden??

      Teo's acting like a clown at this point. Either fight Taylor at 140 or don't, that's what great fighters do, they move up and beat the beast at their best with no lame azz catchweights. This guy is just blowing smoke and he is not undisputed at 35 until he defeates Haney for the WBC crown, not no franchise mega champion or whatever the hell it's called.

      Man up Theofima and give Loma a rematch or beat Haney.

        Yeah. He's only saying this because Taylor has very little incentive to fight Teofimo. Teofimo thinks he can use those belts like carrots, dangle them in front of Taylor at 137 and drag him down (except he doesn't know that the light belts can't be on the line above the lightweight division). The only way Teofimo can get Taylor is if Taylor stands to make more money fighting him than he does fighting Crawford.

        Who thinks that Taylor will make more money fighting Lopez than he will fighting Crawford?
        Good post. Just to add to the bold, and Taylor makes 135 or below.

          Teo seems to still be vastly overrating his star power. He doesn't have the caché to make such a request. The man hasn't learned anything through all of this lol.

            Damn do you think? Prograis can **** too and he is not as easy to hit as Tank. Tank is good but too much smoke has been blown up his arse. they are moving him at snail pace. I will check back on him at the end of 2022 perhaps they will finally put him in with a killer where i can really gauge how good he really is

              Never an undisputed fight should be at a catchweight, that's all I gotta say.

                Prograis didn't even look that good in his last fight against Gervonta's regular sparring partner (punching bag). We'll see. Prograis doesn't have half Davis' punching power.

                    The power department i agree. I havent seen Prograis since the Josh fight to be fair

                      Josh Taylor looked notably bigger than middleweight Eubank Jr to me at the AJ fight. Not that remarkable really as he probably literally was as Eubank Jr was making weight but I cant see how Taylor could possibly weigh under 10 stone and fight properly.

                      He very much looks like a man who should move up after Caterall to me and even then he looks like he could move up again. I suppose it is all about whether he can **** as he goes through the classes.

                      I know Taylor could feasibly fight Tank Davis but those two between fights would look silly if you put them alongside each other. Boxing is a crazy game.
