Who is the better “Undisputed” Champion at 140? Crawford or Taylor

[BLASTER1]

lol. Like he doesn’t have a choice… it’s in-house.

You think the fighter don't have a say in who he fights next?
Cmon bro.

I think Top Rank boxing is plastic. Never thought much for Crawford vs Spence for the way these two move. The only way to counter narratives for a fight fiasco that fans want, challenge and offer a different opponent that supersedes the situation. Crawford could’ve moved up and fought Teixeira

Stop saying Taylor had the harder road to undisputed. Postol had the closest fight against Taylor. Look at what Bud did to Postol.

Bud's clearly the better fighter and the Postol fight's a great illustration of that, but Taylor absolutely fought better opposition to get his 4 straps. That ain't to say Bud wouldn't have beaten 'em all easier, but he didn't. He fought Dulorme for a vacant title and Indongo for 2 more. Only quality titlist he fought at 140 was Postol. Taylor beat Baranchyk, Prograis and Ramirez for his straps, and he's beaten Postol as well, although an older version than the one Bud cruised past.

This is the fight to make! Both just fought on ESPN, both recent undisputed 140 lbers. MAKE. THIS. FIGHT!

Bud is much better but that wasn't the question posed.

Oh what’s the question

[Citizen Koba]

The question is rhetorical since essentially these two P4P fighters is one the best and most logical fights to make. And when Crawford beats Taylor, what does it mean? Does it elevate Crawford in the P4P? Or?

Don't think it means anything in particular does it?

I don't do P4P but the win last night puts Taylor amongst the world's best - or at least most accomplished - fighters. Even amongst the best there's levels though and Crawfords a shelf or two above Taylor. Have to see Taylor beat a top 10 Welter before giving him any credit at the higher weight.

So when we speak of P4P, we gotta keep that same energy. When Crawford beats Taylor, will that be Bud’s best win to prove his P4P stance? Taylor been P4P for a while. There are two current P4P Champs that have been Undisputed at 140. Industry will demand this fight

Multi weight Champions help justify the concept of P4P

Come on,thats a cherrypick for Bud, Taylor would be a huge underdog. Bud needs to fight wws, hell I'll take DSG v Bud over Taylor

Good points but I will defend Dulorme say he is a good quality fighter, people quickly forget that he fought Ugas and most people thought he won. Also beat Karim Mayfield who I have always followed.
