    Is josh taylor done?

    Josh Taylor's performance was somewhat average vs Catterall in the rematch.

    IMHO he does not look nearly the same as he did in his prime. His output is quite minimal and seems to have lost that dog in him and aggression in his performance at this point.
    He also doesn't box as he used to from a technical standpoint. He just had spurts of it in the rematch.

    Seems to me that retirment may be knocking on his door sooner than we may think.

    Your thoughts.

    How much longer do you see Josh Taylor fighting?

        It's just the style. Compubox showed he landed more power shots than Catteral. Also Taylor was never as good as people thought. It was surprising when he won undisputed and he had a close fight with Prograis too

          He put in a reasonable performance but didn't have much craft to his work. Depends what his motivation to continue would be at this point. Who would he fight if he were to continue?

              Pretty good points.

              I still see Taylor not nearly as good as before.

                Yeah he will probably have one more fight before bowing out of the sport.

                  Catterall didn't impress me that much, especially for a guy who acknowledged Taylor being in decline. He mostly did potshotting, get walked down as if trying to survive, twists his body for a defense ala Ryan Garcia when Taylor closes in. Jack had zero inside skills. I mean ZERO. Unfortunately, Josh didn't have inside skills either, was unable to capitalize the numerous times Catterall was on the ropes. Matias would blast this Catterall dude.

                    Well, goes to show how shot Josh is.

                    Josh is not nearly as good as he was before.

                    Yeah Catterall is B level no doubt. Teofimo would school Cat also.

                    I reckon Cat is not championship-level really
