Is Taylor the biggest prat in boxing. He’s one of my fav fighters stylistically but personality wise he’s awful. Has nothing good to say , aggressive and delusional.

Could be take over the mantle for BJS ??

I used to like him but after last night and how he’s behaving now I’ve went off him.

Hoping he redeems himself in next few days and accepts a rematch with Catterall.

If he doesn’t I reckon he will lose at least 50% of the fans he has now.

Taylor has done himself no favours after the fight.
He was like it after the Ramirez fight as a lot had it close, me included. The knockdowns were the difference there.
It’s like he cannot accept any kind of negativity and just tries to flush it away with bullshit.
He should’ve said it was a close fight, I’ll watch it back, and if the demand is there I’ll give Jack a rematch even if it’s up at welter.
It’s not Josh’s fault that Iain John Lewis and Victor Loughlin are disabled but you can mitigate it after the fight.
Josh has gone the opposite way sadly.
Him and his trainer are a good pair tbh.

He's hired an absolute fanny and a charlatan for his corner. The advice he was getting in-between rounds was "get on at the referee".... wtf

He definitely was. But Catterall was brilliant and has been totally stiffed.
Totally. He's certainly proven himself as a top tier fighter after this 'loss'.

What is Davidson doing to get these jobs? the guys is clueless in the corner and I have to put mute on to save my ears from his squeaky voice.

Smug as hell. Taylor has gone to the toilet since he moved to Davidson.

I’ve never understood the appeal of the guy. I asked someone involved in boxing about him a while back he did rave about him and said Josh is much happier training under him. Apparently they are good pals now. 🥴

The longer Taylor spends with Boxercise, the worse he gets. Swallow your pride and get back with Shane.

Taylor just couldn't adjust to Catteralls style. Starting to think it was the southpaw match up but Prograis is leftie too.
So Catterall probably better than everyone thinks, weight issues, plus Taylor's complacency all led in part to a very bad night at the office.

I like the "Boxercise Ben" moniker TBH :TU:

I'm not a fan of throwing the trainer under the bus, but in this instance I honesty think it's warranted.

Taylor's entitled to an off night, but I think Boxercise Ben's lack of experience has soon proved a hindrance to a phenomenal boxer.

Boxercise Ben's interruption during the Canelo v BJS bout was nothing more than an attempt to undermine a quality trainer (Mark Tibbs) and attempt to make more of a name for himself

What’s the more amusing nickname?

Boxercise Ben or Tesco Joe?

I agree.. but to be fair. Had BJS come out that next round he would have been slaughtered.

Not that I wouldn’t have liked to see it..

Shane McGuigan was pretty scathing (in a respectful way) of Taylor and says he should not move up in weight.

He's right. Taylor's legacy will be destroyed if he goes up and gets filled in by Crawford, Spence, etc. Stay at 140 rematch Jack and deal with that division. He clearly let himself go badly in between fights this time. And get rid of Boxercise Ben.

He will definitely need to be more elusive vs Crawford. That fight could get ugly, Crawford is sharp as feck.
