Comments Thread For: Arum: Terence Crawford Could Fight Jose Ramirez vs. Josh Taylor Winner In Fall

[Dustin Tanner]

Crawford reminds me of GRJ. Wasted talent who believes he is worth more than he actually is.

GRJ isn't very active because no one wants to fight him(funny how no one wants to take his belt) but there are all kinds of people calling Crawford out like Ortiz Porter hell even GRJ this guy Bud is a diva

Taylor is number eight pound for pound in the ring magazine rankings.

He’s better than Brook ever was.

If he still isn’t, in your opinion, I would point out that Terence Crawford gave Kell Brook his worst beating.

Apples and oranges. 1) Crawford hasn’t even fought Taylor 2) He isn’t a WW and had he moved up I’d have Kell Brook when he fought Spence and Porter definitely beating Taylor.

[QUOTE=ShaneMosleySr;n30908661]Who has Spence fought that’s better than Josh Taylor?

Taylor would not survive Porter and gets beaten by Mikey.

This will be the first time that two former undisputed jr. welterweight undefeated champions have ever faced off in their prime. Crawford vs. Ramirez is a elite clash, some 'fans' have apparent agendas.

I don't think it's an elite clash, it's a very good clash, an elite clash for me would be Crawford vs Spence, two undefeated champions in their weightclass who both are on the P4P lists and who would represent a 50/50 fight.

Elite clash to me are these kind of Ward-Kovalev, Canelo-GGG where you know both guys are top of the top and are almost 50/50 in everyone's eyes. I do think Taylor beats Ramirez in a close fight, and even thou I think he is a great fighter he wouldn't represent a bigger challenge than Spence as I'm 90% sure that you and almost everyone else would pick Spence to beat Taylor in a welter matchup. Context is everything in matchmaking.

Good Point!

If Amir Khan, and Kell Brook were seen as a viable opponent, then why not Vergil Ortiz Jr.? I'm pretty sure Ortiz Jr. would be a bigger draw than Jeff Horn!

Wow. "someone" here said:

Terence Crawford gave Kell Brook his worst beating.

Terence Crawford gave THE GHOST OF KELL BROOK, LONG PAST DAMAGE, a slight beating involving him laughing after the fight.

Unlike the prime version of Brook who was forced to take a knee and given a damaged eye socket by Errol Spence.

But let's just rewrite history, shall we?

[Greenfield02]

In other words, Crawford refuses to take any serious challenge at WW. Ortiz, Porter, Ennis, ect, ect, would jump at the opportunity to face Crawford, I'll even throw Thurman in there, not because I think he's a threat to Crawford, but at least he's a full blown WW with some credibility. Crawford is 33 man, even if Crawford is as good as everyone says, we will never know because he has wasted his career, baffling really.

It's like he's been afraid ever since elquskkus dropped him

for the love of god, fight someone with a pulse already

When Spence beat Mikey, Mikey was a Top 10 P4P fighter too, but people still hated on the fight! It will be the same for Bud vs. either one of these fighters too! Bud should fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. ASAP!
