Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor vs. Jose Zepeda Being Worked Out, Says Top Rank Prez

Taylor should just cash out vs Crawford. He'll lose to Crawford but he'll have the knowledge that he gave it is all and made great money. I would pick Crawford in a late TKO over Taylor.

Well there goes Lopez shot. Guess that was just one more delusion he had. Actually I'm inclined to think that Arum would have been angling for that fight. It was most probably his doing, that got Lopez in the WBOs number 2 spot. But Ramirez and Catterals lawyers soon sorted that out. And Bob probably ran the idea by Taylor, of fighting him as a voluntary. Can just picture Josh saying to Bob " **** Teo. Tell him to join the que " Lmao. I like the Zepeda fight. I feel he deserves it, since he was done out of a win against Ramirez.

Is Taylor going on a hug fest again?

Two words baby.. WAR ZEPEDA.

Zepeda’s my dog in that fight but I also wouldn’t dismiss Taylor simply because of his last performance. It’s often said that you’re only as good as your last fight. But I also think he just had a bad night against a tough opponent.

The WBA decision was wack if it was indeed them who decided to vacate Taylor’s title. But the sanctioning bodies have been wack with them big sanctioning fees. It would be nice if we could get a unified or undisputed champion who was allowed to defended his crown for several fights without the risk of being charged crazy fees.

Rooting for zepeda. Hope it happens

Zepeda is going to get his ass beat

Taylor severely underestimaed caterall

Taylor shines in big fights

If there is a rotation system in place for unified champions to make title defenses, and the WBC was next up in the rotation, then why did the WBA pressure and strip Josh Taylor?

That's bullsh-t.

I hope boxing reporters pursue this story further and question Gilberto Mendoza Jr to get answers. Don't let him just fly under the radar.

People thought the fight with Catterall was a robbery. It was close regardless, there should have been a rematch.

Rooting for Zepeda.

Surely you must realise that he has no chance of getting that fight now. Crawford will fight Spence. Taylor won't get the shot until either the belt is vacant, or his mandatory comes up, which will be next spring. Taylor will stay at 140 until he gets his shot.

I'm talking about when he eventually cashes out. He should move up because he has been at 140 too long. He can do other fights at 147 and even get a high ranking there if he wins some mid-level fights at 147.
