    What does Josh Taylor do now?

    Crawford seemed like the next fight he wanted but Bob won't want to do that fight. Think BOXXER could put up the dough for it?

    I’d target a big fight with Teofimo at 140, assuming Teofimo wins his next fight at 140 and the matchup is sellable.

    If he wants an easy payday he could fight the Khan-Brook winner… Nah I’m joking. There’s really not much out there for Josh atm in all honesty.

      Not that i'm anywhere close to thinking about writing off Teofimo but I think it's going to be a while till I'm interested in Taylor-Lopez again. Chon or Matias are the guys at 140 who deserve title shots imo.

          Yeah Zepeda has certainly earned a shot and if Matias avenges his only defeat next Saturday he has to be put in that conversation too.

          I’d be cool with him just defending the belts against the top contenders, maybe even a Prograis rematch? I thought Taylor won clear enough but the fight was competitive enough to sell a rematch IMO.

            Move up. No point in stayin at 140 imo. Rematch Rougarou? Garcia dont deserve it. Fight Ramirez again? He said no to Teo.

                I think Taylor becomes ordinary at 47...

                He probably needs to make his mark as undisputed with a defense or two before he crash's the market @ 47..

                IMO he does that by defending against Ramirez again !

                  I think he should fight Jose Zepeda and maybe a few other guys in the top 10 of his division before moving up to Welterweight. Who he fights once he gets up there, I don’t know. The first guy he fights at Welterweight will probably not be a guy who’s considered top 10 of that division, I suspect.

                    I feel you. The Ramirez fight was good. I dont mind a run back. If Regis wins big Id like to see that one too
