Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor on Catterall: If It's Not Next, I Will Do It Down The Line, But It Won't Be At 140

[theface07]

I was a huge Taylor fan up until I saw how arrogant and disrespectful he was in the lead up to the Caterall fight and his reaction to winning a fight he clearly lost. Josh has no control over the judging (to my knowledge) but he should've at least given Jack his due respect after the world saw how well Caterall performed and the robbery that took place.
I don't know if it's a result of Taylor being trained by Davison or if Josh's ego is just out of control but he wasn't the same person or fighter before, during and after the Caterall fight. He needs to get his head straight, stop thinking of himself as some sort of boxing god who is unbeatable and get back to taking his opponents seriously otherwise he is in for a rude awakening and a downward spiral. Anyone can lose a fight, I don't fault him for that but he needs to accept reality and stop acting like he's untouchable.

josh now calling catterall out, oh boy things get confusing sometimes

joshs excuses list grows longer each week

Only from a haters perception. Surely calling him out, which you've just stated, runs contrary to that.

I'm pretty sure he did give Catterall his due respect. In fact he's stated that, although he believes he done enough to edge it, if he'd lost he'd be gutted at losing his titles, but would have accepted it, as it was a close fight. So what part of that did you interpret as, not giving him his due respect. I seriously doubt you were a huge Taylor fan.

Tatlor s'il ne venge pas ce combat qui aurrait du perdre contre catteral il se trouve toujours plein d'excuse mais il y a plein de combattant qu'on entend pas parler qui sont meilleur que d'autre juste moin mediatisé taylor a un doute dans sa tete....! Il se debarrasse des ceintures tranquilement mais catteral la combattu pour les 4 ceintures c'etait la chance de sa vie et il la perdu jespere que catteral va continuer a parler jusqu'a temps que le combat soit fait et taylor qui dit avoir eu des blessures mais tout les combattant en boxe combatte la pluspart du temps blesser

Ce ne sont pas toutes des excuses. Il sait bien qu'il a eu une grave blessure au genou. Pendant ce camp, IL a egalement eu un covid, et apres cela, il a eu une autre infection virale de la poitrine. Les problemes ont commence lorsqu'il est revenu au camp beaucoup plus lourd que la normale, ce qu'il admet ete extremement difficile en raison des revers qui ont suivi. Il a juste pris du poids, mais Pas de la maniere souhaitable. De plus, il n'etait pas motive pour ce combat, mais devait le mener a bien en tant qu'homme de parole. Ce ne sont pas des excuses, mais juste des choses qui se sont produites et qui ont gravement affecte sa performance. Dans le match revanche, qu'il recherche activement, ces erreurs seront rectifiees et il montrera son vrai niveau.

i mean his excuses for his stated bad performance in the fight

He had various things that badly hampered his camp. And he wasn't truly motivated. He said they weren't an excuse and that he was just ****e on the night. In a rematch things will be different. The various things that hampered his camp will not be there. His weight making and motivation issues will be remedied. So I'm expecting a considerable performance improvement. If he can't deliver, then he deserves the criticism. But as of now, he's had one bad fight, and everyone now has him as this overrated poor fighter lol. Even the best have an off night.

“Get your finger out your ass, man,” Taylor said, “and hopefully we can get this fight on.”

First, Jack Catterall has to remove his boot out of your ass 'Tartan-TornA$$hole'.

I would recommend that Jack Catterall demand VADA anti-doping now that the 'Tart-Tomato' has vacated the WBC : it is my understanding that due to the fact that the WBC still recognizes Taylor as the IBF and WBO champion, that Josh is not ranked by the World Boxing Council nor does he have to participate in their Anti-doping program any longer.

Josh Taylor has ducked Alberto Puello, Jose Zepeda and is also ducking the WBC Clean-Boxing-Program. Now I know that some of you nitwits will call me crazy -- in spite of the fact that all my 'conspiracies-theories' have been confirmed to be FACTS.

I hate Josh doing this. If he has outgrown 140, & all the evidence suggests he has, then trying to boil down one more time won't/can't end well. He should take a decent w/w (Ekow Essumann jumps to mind) & then, if he gets through that, go after the winner of Crawford v Spence. Remember that Boots is coming up on the outside &, much as I love & admire Josh, I don't think he takes Boots. I don't think Spence does either. Crawford IDK, that man is class but he ain't getting any younger.
