    The thing about Catterall is, did he beat a depleted Taylor too? Still, the hometown edge might be too much for both of them. UK or US.

      Prograis was one of the most overrated fighters on this forum. Josh Taylor beat him clearly for a reason, He’s a good fighter but not great at anything.

        I disagree, because the fight I saw between Taylor vs Prograis was extremely close. If Prograis won, I wouldn't have complained.
        Furthermore, I think Prograis is a level above good. Good doesn't beat Zepeda, Flanagan, Relikh, and Ramos in the fashion Prograis did. Prograis is an excellent fighter from my point of view.

          Matias makes easy work of Catterall i would put money on that. Matias fuxks Catterall up properly TRUST ME!

          Matias is a different animal still no respect 19-1-19kos and literally takes the fight out of everyone.
          Catterall will make anyone at 140 look ******, including Matias. Mr. Matias is fighting the immortal Sergey Lipinets next. I'm so impressed. Not.

            Official scoring aside, I didn't see a close fight between Taylor and Prograis. Taylor bullied and outboxed Prograis from start to finish. He was better on the outside from midrange and in close. Not sure what you think you saw or what the telecast team convinced you was happening.

              Bullied and out-boxed from start to finish? I know what I saw and it was a competitive fight with a lot of close rounds. Honestly anyone who believes Prograis vs Taylor wasn't close, doesn't know anything about boxing or are bias.

                Lol Ali isn't the "GOAT". There is no fighter in any weight class that is so much better than everybody else.

                    yeah that was a horrible performance Champ respectfully, WTF is up with fighters not letting their hands go, at the very least pump out a consistent Jab or something but in this ERA guys are just winging all Power Punches and nothing in between


                    still like Prograis but yeah will need more than that to beat Haney and certainly way more than that for a dangerous fighter like Matias who let hands FLY

                      Many people consider Ali to be the G.O.A.T, just like the consider Jordan to be the G.O.A.T of basketball.
