Would any of you pick Taylor to beat Crawford?

Not sure I would back him to beat Crawford but to suggest he could never win a title or struggle to be top 10 when guys like Malignaggi managed it seems a bit exaggerated tbh.

You have guys like Spence, Crawford, Pacquiao, both Garcia's, Porter etc. I don't think Taylor realistically beats any of them.

Out boxing Danny Garcia isn’t hard to imagine.

Both Garcia’s lol. Mikey Garcia is a bloated 135 fighter. He’s looked garbage above that. Danny Garcia has never been any good since he was at 140. Taylor has been better at 140 than Garcia. Danny Garcia dined out on beating Matthysse, a guy that lost to a shot Judah. Oh and Garcia beat glass jaw Khan, a guy that got mullered by a Colombian journeyman in 1 round.

Spence would be big ask. He’s very talented and probably a boiled down light-middleweight. I don’t see Taylor beating him. I don’t see anyone at 147 beating him. Maybe Crawford but there’s question marks there.

Crawford’s resume isn’t even as good as Taylor at 140 and hasn’t beaten anyone at 147 worth a shilling. I do think Crawford is an excellent fighter and would be favourite to win v Taylor. But at the same time, Crawford being elite is based on supposed eye test, because he certainly hasn’t proved it against top fighters. You never truly know how good someone is until they fight other top fighters and Bud never has.

is Taylor your new fave fighter to discredit, because he’s not with Hearn ?

I think Crawford beats Taylor easily. Bud likes to get in fire fights and he hits harder than Josh…. I say Bud stops him tbh

i also think Joshua beats both Wilder and Fury

I know it's all fun and games trolling, that's what this forum mostly is. But in all seriousness, Taylor wouldn't have a chance, Crawford is levels above the guy. If Taylor goes to WW he'll never win a title. To be perfectly honest he'd struggle to make top 10.

No. He went life and death and almost lost to Postol. Imagine what Bud will do to him.

The guy hasn’t really dominated any of his fights against top guys, and you think he’ll beat the big boys at 147? Lmao. He’d get outboxed and out to sleep by crawfish and brutalized by Ortiz. The only top guy he beats at 147 is actually both Garcia’s.

If Taylor fought Bud at 147, while still making 140 himself, then all the, "No contest! Bud would annihilate him!" comments make perfect sense. But that's not what we're talking about, is it.

I think Taylor knocks Crawford out.
