I Just ReWatched Taylor VS Davies

If Crawford doesn't move up after Idongo, Taylor is never getting a title, but yeah 140 is pretty weak, Taylor can easily win a vacant title, maybe even Davies can lol Id even go as far as to say Davies will get a shot before Taylor, Taylor will be avoided like the plague and Hearn will buy Davies a shot, damn boxing

It's just Taylors fundamentals from Team GB. He has great accuracy & a good bit of ring IQ. Taylor broke Davies heart, I don't think it's the case of Ohara having no heart. If this fight taught you anything it's that straight shots beat wide looping shots. I'm not sure how their career pans out but I could see Taylor holding a world title end of 2018.

Taylor is pure class, TS doesnt have a clue what he's talking about the dude doesnt even know what a jab is : https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=733113 :lol1: :lol1:

Yeah you're right everything was so short, compact and accurate. His timing was on point as well. Underrated footwork as well he didn't let Ohara set his feet & kept him off balance at times. Only time I saw Ohara set his feet was round 6 but he just went all guns blazing & got punished by the savvier fighter. Spot on. And rarely do Britian produce fighters that can whip them into the body like Taylor showed. I think he could end up being our best body puncher since Hatton.

Taylor was more effective with tightly thrown hooks to head and body than he was with straight shots. I think it was more a case of short sharp accurate shots beat slow wide looping shots.

Josh Taylor has every chance of becoming a multi-division "champion" in the near future. He has a great amateur pedigree. This grudge match came very early in their careers and both fighters still are far from the finished articles. I believe Taylor can reach World level. Ohara Davies will never be more than a fringe level wildcard.

I don't get the fuss behind Taylor, Davies would have beat him if he didn't have such a glass chin and no heart at all ffs You serious ? lol Davies was totally out skilled in every single department and had zero chance at all of winning that fight.

I have to agree with the original poster. Both British hype jobs. I don't get the fuss behind Taylor, Davies would have beat him if he didn't have such a glass chin and no heart at all ffs

10 fights so more reason not to rush him, I definitely see that potential in him but it would be crazy to put a lot of pressure on him now. Do I think he beats those guys after 10 pro fights nope. Do I think he does after another 4/5 fights? Definitely, we got to be careful when placing prospects in hypothetical fights, someone said to me on here last week that they would pick Anthony Yarde to beat Andre Ward now!!! We get too ahead of ourselves sometimes when there is absolutely no need for it. Good post.

Not a doubt in my mind that Taylor is ready for Figueroa right now at least.

He could potentially beat a few on that list even now is what I'm getting at, but yeah no need to put him in yet. He's only had 10 fights not 11/12. 10 fights so more reason not to rush him, I definitely see that potential in him but it would be crazy to put a lot of pressure on him now.

That's the thing I CAN see the potential in Taylor, not sure why people are eager to put him in those bracket yet. He only had like 11/12 fights. No need to rush him or compare him to Ricky burns opponents etc it's madness around here sometimes. You give the guy credit you get criticise, you don't give the guy credit you get criticise, you give him credit but encourage people to give him time you still get criticise..... That's boxing fans for you. He's only had 10 fights not 11/12.

I don't get you at all. Am saying don't put Taylor in yet, he is improving doe etc not sure what your point is to be honest. He could potentially beat a few on that list even now is what I'm getting at, but yeah no need to put him in yet.

*Right now* of course he's not on Crawford's level but you must see the potential he's got, right? They want to match him up against Burns next who lost badly to Indongo, so it would be interesting to see what Taylor would do to him. I think he gets the KO tbh.

Very beatable names except Crawford and Garcia. You would think you'd just listed the fab 4 and Benitez lol. There's a guy on there that Ricky Burns arguably beat ffs. I don't get you at all. Am saying don't put Taylor in yet, he is improving doe etc not sure what your point is to be honest.

Both stand absoultley no chance against Crawford, Indongo, Broner, Figuero, or Garcia *Right now* of course he's not on Crawford's level but you must see the potential he's got, right?

Its a typo...Its meant to say don't put him in the same bracket as those names yet. Very beatable names except Crawford and Garcia. You would think you'd just listed the fab 4 and Benitez lol. There's a guy on there that Ricky Burns arguably beat ffs.

Taylor beat Davies in only his 10th fight ffs and looked very good doing it. Give him time to develop before comparing him to the elite at the weight. I recall Crawford having UD's with a few absolute bums before he had ten fights. He also didn't look a future superstar against Ricky Burns even though it was a convincing win. But Crawford evolved into a superb elite fighter in time. We'll find out how good Taylor is soon enough. The other day I watched a video of David Haye who trained beside Taylor and has watched him spar bigger guys and he said Taylor is an absolute weapon, and as tough as nails. Haye said people dont know how tough he is yet and that he's seen him do some ridiculous things in sparring. It's not just Haye either, lots of people in the sport have spoken very highly of Taylor after seeing him close up. I'm confident he's going to be top end world class when the time comes. Its a typo...Its meant to say don't put him in the same bracket as those names yet.

You are wrong. Josh Taylor is the real deal. He isnt a finished product but guy has so much potential. Figueroa? Lol he is a fkin bum who would get dominated by Taylor even right now. Figueroa is just a tough tomato can. Broner would get that azz beat too. Taylor has too much range for this dude. Taylor-Indongo would make a badazz fight stylewise.
