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

[steeve steel]

How do you put Scotland on a map. Do you physically pick the entire country up? Obviously his haters just as dumb as his fans.

I rest my case. lol

[Butt stuff]

Unfortunately for Josh and it totally baffles me , he wasn't signed by matchroom or Queensberry when he turned over and so he had no major platform exposure in Uk. So his first real decent exposure in Uk came in the tournament. With Top rank they don't do nothing for him in the UK. In America he'll never get that popularity as he's not American so being with Haymon would not make much difference. Top rank was right move for the Ramirez ,Crawford and Lopez fights but beyond that he'll have difficulty getting decent fights

I still feel like he'd get decent paydays through Haymon, I hope Top Rank are sorting him out. I wonder how his biggest purses compare to Ricky Burns' biggest purses.

Top Rank is now showing their fights on Sky though. Unfortunately for Taylor, I think that began with the Inoue fight.

Problem is they'll likely all still be US based and on at silly o'clock in the morning, so only the hardcores who already know Taylor will be the ones watching.

They wouldn't replay them at a normal hour?

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

if his name was mario taylor lopez the fight would be on!

or maybe not actually, tank doesnt do undisputed fights, belts or lopez

[brick wall]

no need for ****** excuses like that...tank davis is not yet ready for someone like taylor and it's ok if he doesn't want to fight him

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'd bet you 100 dollars prograis beats tanks ass

[ShoulderRoll]

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

Top Rank did that for Lomachenko when they froze out Devin Haney.

Did you criticize that and call it pathetic when it happened? If not, why not? Do you have double standards when it comes to Ellerbe and Top Rank?

[Citizen Koba]

I meant Mikey at 140 is a way better name and boxer than Taylor. The other two at 135.

Certainly be a way bigger fight in the US, can't imagine how anyone could find fault with Tank for making that one.... Ha, I'm sure some would though.

[tophat1]

He should just be honest and say the fight isn't going to happen because he fights on a rival network. Plus Taylor would beat the **** out of him
