Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: It Wasn't My Best Performance, It Was Close, I Know I Won

[Sid-Knee]

At this point, it's up to the sanctioning bodies to order a immediate rematch or strip Taylor, but I have a feeling Josh would just any belt that would make him take the rematch. A couple of things here, nobody I mean nobody does home cooking like the U.K for it's fighters, is there a ton of bad decisions around the world in boxing? Of course, but I'm taking specifically about home cooking for their hometown fighters, and the U.K is the best at that. Also I'm not sure why people were surprised Callateral did so well, the writing was on the wall ,Taylor is not all that, He got a gift decision against Ramirez, which was a draw at best, and also against Proragis which he had I guess a better argument for the win, but just look at his face after that fight. At the end of the day Taylor is decent, but not great, and he would get killed by any of the WW....

You're beyond delusional if you think the UK is were it's at it's worse. The US is worse than the rest of the world combined. The facts tell that truth. But it's to be expected with all of you over there deeply disturbed and detached from reality. We can even put it to the test if you like and compare?

Taylor actually won 10 rounds to 2 for Ramirez. Then you had the two KD's with the ref trying desperately to protect Ramirez from getting knocked out. To believe anything else is coming from a very broken mind.

And lastly, this was to do with Bob Arum. He was the one who made sure those titles didn't stay in the UK with Taylor relinquishing them by stepping up to Welter. He wanted them to be fought over by his fighters.

Mad, mad crazy person. F2cking insanely delusional.

You lost this fight easily and now I know you or your handlers are corrupt

Everyone should know by now that Arum is corrupt. His fighters lose big and get dominated only to get wide UD's their way. He's been doing it for decades.

He didn't look like he had a full training camp of sparring at all. Perhaps it was due to him fighting a fellow southpaw. He looked rather amateurish if one were to ask me. While winging wild shots, missing them and being countered all night.

What separated Taylor from most fighters was his versatility; The ability to defeat his opponents on the outside as well as on the inside. We didn't witness any of that at all.

All he did was plodded forward and continue to eat clean left hands from Catterall all night long.

Bad knees and constant weight draining? I think those are good reasons to not look good. Not making excuses for him.

It is easy to say: 'the writing is on the wall' after the fight. We all did not know the ceiling of Taylor and he might improve along the way still, altough not as much as we've hoped. Also it isn't as bad of a robbery as people make it out to be. I saw a competitive fight where Taylor was trying to make the fight and being the aggressor and was racking up points in the process. Catterall was mostly the defensive fighter that got some shots in here and there. The knockdown made things looks worse than they actually were but I saw it also as a close but dominant performance by Taylor.

Who is WE ?

Who is WE ?

Why do you think Taylor doesn't match up to Crawford ? The Catterall fights meant nothing, he was glad to be in the ring with Taylor he didn't really come in there acting the title belonged to him, but was more of an awkward soutpaw that had to be dealt with. It was not as if Taylor wasn't landing any shots of his own. Taylor was the agressor and finished strong. Just the knockdown was unfortunate. Watch the fight with the sound off.

Also he beat Prograis, who I find a really good fighter and he won convincingly in his last fight against a good Mexican fighter. So what did you see beforehand on Taylor that made you convinced he wasn't elite/ or couldn't become elite ? He wipes the floor with Thurman, Taylor knows has been in deep waters and won unlike a lot of other fighters out there.

Taylor will always be associated with one of the worst decisions in world championship boxing history, the fact he kept saying he clearly won the fight means i will have no sympathy for him if this ****s with him mentally and ruins him as a fighter.

At the very least he should have said he wasn't sure if he had done enough to get the decision but he just sounds deluded and to be frank a bit pathetic.

[Silence]

A shoulder roll user slick southpaw can give anyone problems. But, that was more than problem. You lost. You got outboxed. Admit it.

Well that certainly is a problem. If he can no longer make the weight safely then it’s perhaps time for him to move up to welterweight.

Prograis isn't much about Taylors class, there are classes, TC would destroy both he is just so much better with every advantage, its kinda weird to me that you cant see the class difference in these guys. a guy is not beating higher division elites if he is having battles with lower class fighters in a lighter division, a guy like TC can have a bad night and still put Catterall to sleep that's the difference in class. I guess because that difference is really only a millisecond,,,,,everything is just a millisecond better, there are belt holders and then there are World Champs and then there are Superstars.
