Desperate. Sad

What is Taylor without Catterall ?

The former undisputed champion of the world.

I'm baffled about Catterall career path because he was ranked in the top 10 junior welterweight all the way back in 2016 - 2024 is just around the corner and in eight year's Catterall has one marque fight. Is it poor management? Is it a lack of desire to take risk?

He sells about 30 tickets

Pretty much all his fights are extremely boring and he has a style difficult to look good against

He had his mandatory shot, but other than that he hasn't had a shot because he brings no money and is a bit of a risk because he's extremely safety first, so even if you win, you may not look good.

There's basically no benefit in anybody giving him a voluntary shot.

Taylor can sell out arenas in Scotland in hours. Catterall fights in empty venues near his home town.

Taylor is a former undisputed champ and could still get good fights in USA, even if its because he seems much more beatable now

Josh Taylor is a multi millionaire that can pick and choose what fights he accepts because he's financially secure. He doesn't need to jump at thr first offer.

Catterall has never won any World titles and really has achieved no world level wins.

If Catterall really wants this fight, he should not really dictate any offers 'Instead he should think about the long game i.e Winning the fight, then trying to act like the big man'.

Note: For me team Catterall have never chased this match up with Josh Taylor enough 'The first mistake they made, was not being present at the post fight press conference during the aftermath of the first fight. That situation would of been the optimal time to confront Taylor, putting pressure on Taylor to make the rematch'.

The fact of the matter is, Taylor since the Catterall fight? Had bigger fights to compete in, and he made those fights such as 'The Teofimo Lopez fight' etc.
