Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Still Views Himself As An Undisputed Champion: "I'm Still The Man At 140"

[GhostofDempsey]

If he's "The Man" at 140 he should have defended his titles instead of giving them up. Now he's 1/4 of the man.

Honestly, I think any version of Josh completely smashes Teo. Taylor is pretty big at 140, not sure how a semi shot Lopez deals with being smaller.

This almost seems like TR getting ready to dump him. Normally I think we would see a promoter steer a guy in Lopez position towards the easiest vacant possible and maybe then Taylor.

Calling a brutal loss for Teo and dumped by ol bob like a hot potatoe. Then he's in for a real rude awakening when he gets low balled by everyone else.

I think his recent blowup indicates that he knows this is coming.

Who knows but this is how it all looks to me.

He would be viewed that way if it weren’t for his last fight

If speaks volumes the way Taylor is seen currently

Taylor has been a disappointment. He's been sitting around doing nothing. It will be 16 months since the Catteral fight before he fights Lopez. In that time, he could have given Catteral a rematch AND fought a couple of those mandatories. Doesn't seem too motivated any more.

That may be his biggest problem! Remember, before Catterall he was saying he was ready to move up! Then Crawford left TR, so he stayed at 140! Could be a BIG mistake!

You're reading this all wrong. Bob didn't put Teo in with Taylor because he's getting rid of Teo. He's putting him in there because he's setting Taylor up to lose. Taylor will have been out for 16 months by the time the fight comes around while Teo has been active. Then you add in the weight making and the fact Taylor is coming from a lopsided defeat adds to it all.

Bob tried it with Ramirez because Taylor had had only one round in 19 months. He also set up the ref and the judges to back Ramirez too. It just backfired. Bob is hoping it works the second time round.

More like one year successfully evading a fight with Catterall

Jack Catterall is the uncrowned undisputed champ, actually.

An uncrowned undisputed champ who is fighting on a co main someone rated 34? Not uncrowned undisputed if he really felt he was uncrowned undisputed you'll be fighting as a main event and top opponents. Not journeymen on someone elses card. Guys whole claim to fame now is that he got robbed. Should have did better instead of letting his foot off the gas last few rounds thinking he had it in the bag.
