Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Josh Taylor's An Excellent Fighter; Probably 70 People At Tank's Fight Even Heard Of Him

[Rodtang]

Josh Taylor beat an overhyped, pedestrian and one-dimensional Jose Ramirez, a guy who only had a belt because there are a million of them around in today’s boxing. Now he seems set to go on a Tyson Fury-like year -long celebration living off this win - and yammer about being “undisputed” when in reality it’s not really all that big a deal.

That may be so but he has cleaned out his division in just 18 fights and undisputed he is and it is a big deal. Tell me what division Davis has cleaned out. There's now 3 for you to choose from,I'll wait. Davis has 25 fights and still has the training wheels on

If undisputed is not a big deal , I'd really like to hear your thoughts on what in the sport of boxing is

I'd like to see him fight GRJ purely as its the only one of those fights they would make. Davis walks through him.

I honestly can't understand why people are calling for Tank to fight GRJ, what weight would the fight be at 130?

I can understand people saying GRJ is the most likely, but it sort of feels like pulling another 126 up, one fight after Leo, no danger of being accused of daring to be great, thats for sure. The names are at 135, and Taylor by virtue of being undisputed, seems like these days they're not even pretending to try and make the best fights.

I guess it would be a unification for Tank at 130, so thats something, still Tank would be a overwhelming favourite.

Translation:

We are going to keep on fighting tomato cans, Taylor would derail all plans by knocking out Tank.

Where have these boxing fans been hiding that they have not heard of Josh Taylor? Maybe under Ellerbe's Nostrile?

ATLANTA - Gervonta Davis doesn't need Josh Taylor to do big business. Leonard Ellerbe realizes that blunt assessment won't satisfy devout boxing fans that would love to see Davis remain at 140 pounds to challenge the undefeated, undisputed junior welterweight champion in Davis' next fight. But Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Floyd Mayweather himself and others involved in Davis' career are more concerned with continuing to build Davis into a star that transcends boxing.

tank is not that popular either--

Ellerbe underestimates British fans who will buy any PPV of homegrown fighters--also Europeans will watch josh--

And get real, after the Ramirez fight everyone knows JOsh

If Taylor wasn't an "excellent fighter", I'm sure those 70 fans would be more than enough to land him a fight with Tank.

And that, in a nutshell, is everything wrong with boxing today.

So I guess they're gonna create Boxing's version of Shutter Island for little Tank and keep everything "in-house". Pathetic.

Not many are in that position, or even close to it. They all wish and most are jealous. Let him live in his own parallel world. Your opinion means nothing. Don't watch.

Josh Taylor vs anyone is not close to PPV, except for Davis. Taylor is second or third rate to Gervonta in all aspects. He's really a bum with bogus trinkets. Ellerbe is being too nice.

I want to see Davis fight Teo or Loma, or Valdez ,but they're not gonna happen so I don't waste time thinking about it . So I'm looking at what are the more likely options and on this I would think GRJ is one of the better ones
