Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: I Make Weight, Piece Of Cake; Can Really Do My Whole Career At 140 If I Wanted

[1hourRun]

You know, Josh Taylor is a weight-bully who is pretending that he has not struggled on the scales. Fight at your natural weight, you are no 140 pounder 'Tart-Tomato'. I know that some people think that Josh Taylor is the A-side at jr. welterweight, but Leonard Ellerbe spoke facts, Gervonta 'Tank' Davis is a PPV superstar and calls the shots ; no one knows who Taylor is in America.

Mr Run, you are quite obsessed with Josh Taylor's weight, and your obsession is having you see things that are not there.

Taylor has never fought about 140lbs and usually makes weight without any problem. Hence it is self-evident that he is indeed a genuine jr welter.

The seven-figure sanction in contract vs. Jose Ramirez suggest otherwise. Even in Josh first attempt at a world-title vs. Ivan Baranchyk he missed weight which nearly cost him his opportunity. I know that my passion to see Josh Taylor lose does mislead some people to think that I'm misrepresenting the facts, not so.

If Josh Taylor has struggled on the scale then he has unified all the belts while being weight-drained.

That's pretty impressive. Imagine what he can do at full strength.

He not really wit da shiz. I think Kell Brook knocks the 'Tart-Tomato' out, I think Conor Benn gives him a real beating too!

Depends how you classify 'missed weight'. If by that you mean: made the weight needed for the fight, then sure, he missed weight...

The facts for that fight were that on his first visit to the scales he was 200g over the limit (7 ounces). An average dump weighs about 14 ounces. However, there was confusion that led Taylor to think the weigh-in had gone fine. He went away and started re-hydrating. Then was told he had come in slightly over and given two hours to return to the scales. Even with rehydrating, he came back and made 140lb with an hour to spare. That doesn't sound like someone who is fundamentally too big for the weight.

Regarding the contract for the fight against Ramirez? I genuinely don't know what you're on about here. Would you be kind enough to explain what you mean? I'd have thought both men making the same weight, coming in a comfortable few pounds below the limit, tells all that we need to know.

Taylor looked really gaunt in the face, highly doubt he stays at 140 after this
