Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor-Alberto Puello Mandatory Title Fight Ordered By WBA

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Josh Taylor has at least one more fight to worry about, should he even choose to retain his current championship status. An overdue mandatory title fight ordered by the WBA calls for Scotland's Taylor, the reigning undisputed lineal/WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO junior welterweight champion--to next face number-one contender Alberto Puello. The fight was formally ordered March 8, with the two sides given a 30-day negotiation period to reach a deal to avoid a purse bid hearing. The ruling is significant in that it limits Taylor's options in the event he decides to stick around at junior welterweight after having recently vowed to be done with the division.

If I was Taylor, I’d just try and break some kinds of records for holding an undisputed title by staying in this division for as long as possible because when he moves up, he’ll get wiped out by the first live contender he faces up at WW.

Maybe go right at the tail end of his career as a cash out against a big name. Not before.

He needs to be like Alvaroids and fight Kambosos at 135 or Bud at 147.

I love Brandun, but "Browny" needs to become a mandatory ASAP, just like Boots! IBF # 9 Brandun has to put some work in! I think #4 Shohjahon Ergashev or #3 Liam Paro would be perfect!

Don't tell me... don't tell me... alright, tell me. Who the F is that guy? Nash out.

You know. I was talking more 35+ but perhaps you’re right; maybe it’s now or never.
