    Not sure where he goes from here outside of a trilogy with Catteral. He likely loses the rematch. He won’t do any better against top talent at 147.

      I definitely agree!!
      I really like Josh but it's been a quick downward spiral unfortunately

        I agree.

        Outside of a trilogy, he most likely fights C level fights for paychecks both at '40 and '47

          This is why I typically stay away from P4P talk.

          It is super subjective and too debatable and a BIG waste of time

            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.
            You hit the nail on the head man.

            I was quite disappointed in Josh when he was struggling against Catterall in the first fight. All due respect, Cat is not necessarily elite level imho

              Josh the type of fighter that takes too much damage against elite opposities due to his front footed style you can’t miss him. He does dish them out as well though.

                True.

                His defense is not top notch. It definitely took a toll.

                Yet as far as dishing it out too, it has been reduced drastically in his last fight.

                I feel it's over for him at this point in regards to elite level

                  Yes he is donne at 140, should have moved up already.

                  He may experience a revival at 147.

                    I actually highly doubt any type of revival.

                    He has been like this for too long. He will only look somewhat decent aqgainst C level opponents.

                      I think it's fairly obvious who belongs on there if you are objective though. Not sure why they even consider fighters who duck hard fights. The problem is fans of particular fighters ignore facts and just want their guy on there because they feel he should be
