    That proves my no-interest in him anymore.

    Actually, he's been finished at top level since getting KO'd by Canelo. Actually, way before the Canelo fight he's been done imho
    His last good performance was the Eleider Alvarez rematch. After that it went down, down, down...

      Yeah, it looks like he's done.

      Once a guy starts moving up, he rarely starts performing better once he starts looking shopworn.

      It's only going to get worst for him at 147 or 154.

      UNLESS, he gets on that Canelo/Baumgardner contaminated meat/supplements diet.

          I mean, if Taylor does continue fighting, it will be against C level fighters just to make money I think.

            Josh Taylor looked out of balance, front foot heavy that didn't allow him to evade punches and coming straight in like the first fight. He has a good chin and once he warmed up his output was better but didn't adjust well with angles.

            I don't see him improving at this point of his career.

              Well said.

              I mean all around he does not look like he once did.

              He is definitely at the tail-end of his career.

                He was briefly in the P4P discussion at that time, can you believe it

                  A pity because it was a short lived peak and I did enjoy watching him in the ring.

                    Yes because Tyson Fury was too at one point. Fury has only fought 3 top-10 boxers in 8 years. People are idiots. We need to let AI judge

                      If be can’t even beat an opponent of Catterall’s caliber, he should hand em up. He looks done.

                      One thing that was always on my mind regarding Taylor was his life outside the ring. Long time ago I heard that he was a mad drinker and a partier. He has that look too. So I kind of assumed that he wouldn’t have much longevity at the top but I never expected somebody like Catterall to bring him down.
