Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: Terence Crawford? Of Course He's on My Radar!

[tokon]

No, I watched the fight yesterday and it was anybody's.
Taylor dominant in early and later rounds, Prograis during the middle (and right towards the end).
I had it even but would have been fine with either decision.

That's how I saw the prograis fight too. I remember, on the night, I thought Regis had just nipped it but obviously the judges thought Taylor's late rally was enough to get him a decision that could have gone either way.

Crawford will give him the absolute beating of his life. He's better off waiting for one of the lightweight loudmouths to move up should he get past Ramirez. I think neither Taylor nor Ramirez will go looking for Zepeda or Barrios. That would not be wise. At a certain point in their careers, these UK fighters are only looking for cash-out fights.

Taylor v Zepeda could be a great fight. I don't think the business reasons are there to make it happen.

I like Taylor. I think he'll beat Ramirez, but no chance with Bud.

Anybody can get caught with a 2 piece and wobbled and yes Toylor is talented but not anywhere near what Crawford is just my opinion

Call me crazy, but I haven't seen Errol Spence get two-pieced, wobbled and dropped by anyone.

Porter got dropped, but off of a single power shot while mid-throw and he wasn't hurt either time.

Keef got dropped, got hurt, but against a legend in Manny Pacquiao.

Danny Swift took the best Errol Spence had to offer and still has never been dropped or even significantly hurt (Spence did a number on his face though).


Kavaliauskas was a complete nobody who's claim to fame was a draw with Ray Robinson, if I recall, and then two-piecing, wobbling and dropping Crawford.

Crawford has been on Bambi legs multiple times now.

I'm sorry, I don't see this wide discrepancy you see - and I'm not even a big Taylor fan, but I recognize that in terms of skill, he'd be the best guy Crawford has faced to date, bar none.

If he doesn't fight Crawford in his first fight at 147 then I wont take him serious. He better activate that WBO champion mandatory clause just like Crawford did to fight Horn.

Terrence will beat the sh_t outta any Jr. Welter that’s thinking about moving up just for the record, If you coming after T.C. You better bring skills and power otherwise kiss your a-s goodbye! Regis changed his mind also and said I’m going to stay where I have a shot.

That's why I like this site because 2 people can have varying opinions and that's ok. I think Crawford has wasted alot of time with Top Rank and shouldve been in career making fights by now but I also believe if things were different he will rise to the occasion and beat most anybody in front of him too.

Bold is the key.


Things aren't different. He's not gotten rounds since Benavidez who had one leg.

Everyone he's fought at 147 has been either crippled, washed, disadvantaged or unknown.

Because of that, the lack of any sort of test, I give Taylor a chance for an upset. Especially if it's not Tony Weeks referring. Put Kenny Bayless in there, take away the dirty tactics, and you end up with a fight similar to Ricky Burns.

The one fight where Crawford was tested because he had a ref that enforced the rules.
