Comments Thread For: McGuigan: Josh Taylor Made 'Huge Statement' With KO of Vazquez

I don't see the point in him fighting Catterall. I think he's way better than Catterall and most want the British title to win the belt outright but that takes 3 defences. Taylor fighting at that level for 3/4 fights would be treading water/going backwards.

The Anthony Yigit fight makes more sense. He's quite highly ranked and has the EBU belt. Beating Yigit would be a good stepping stone to world title fights.

Vasguez is extremely awkward, tough former world champion that has never been stopped, for a guy with 10-11 fights to destroy him like that is very impressive, anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a casual or a hater

Would love to see the 2 Canelo fights, rumours everywhere bout them, locked in a vault forever.

lol chill out a little with that!

Dont know all the great Scottish fighters, but Ken Buchanan at least is a very high bar.

Very high! Ken wasn't worried about travel, even fighting in Puerto Rico, unlike some I could mention.

Aye worth watching a bit of Ken, mate. Hell of a fighter. Shame he has become a bit of a footnote in Durans ATG career these days. Understandable given the heights Duran reached though. 2 wins over HoFer Ismeal Laguna stand out, one in Laguna's back yard to win the LW championship (legitimate championship that is). Also beat the great Carlos Ortiz though it was Ortiz' last fight.

Taylor has shown a lot in his last 2 fights. He can be rugged and he can punch a bit, 2 qualities any aspiring champion needs.

The best bet is to get him in the european mix, win the title, defend it and then look for whatever belt is going at 140 next year.

I honestly think Indongo, if he doesnt get distracted by the money, can be the best in the division but Taylor can be a belt holder.

I met ChuChu Malave and he said NOBODY hit him as hard as Ken Buchanan. That's back when there was only one champion and 15 round fights.
