    Taylor definitely looks to be a bit shopworn. I doubt he can harness enough of his former self to win at the very top level again.

      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
      To his credit, Taylor did better than in the first fight. Could have been scored a draw. Just showed how average Catterall is.

        Haney should avoid Catterall. Jack's unseen burst of combos would wobble and weaken Haney's knees. Would even get KO'd.

          Yes, he's probably done at top level.

          I'm quite convinced Taylor has alcohol problems, his worn-out face reminds me of someone with similar issues: Kell Brook.

            Very well said and that's exactly how I saw it.

            Not much craft at all compared to prime Josh Taylor. And great question: I have no idea who Taylor can fight if it's not a Catterall trilogy honestly.

                Yeah of course Josh looked better, how many months ago was that??

                At this point, Josh is worn and shot man. Plus Father Time has paid his visit.

                Taylor's days are numbered in the sport.

                  It just all depends.
                  If he fights C level fighters then yes, few more fights in him.

                  If he fights top 3, no way, It's over.

                    Wow that's true!!
                    I have always wondered why Taylor looks the way he does. Seemed to age way too quick man.

                    Something is going on and it is severely affecting his career.

                      As it also happened to Sergey Kovalev - same problem.
