Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: It'd Be An Honor To Face Pacquiao, But I'd Get No Recognition For Beating Him

[Oregonian]

I'm new to boxing and would like to learn more about this Josh Taylor. Show me which fights of his against elite p4p fighters I should watch so I can become enlightened?

I do appreciate your sarcasm but I’ve seen your name here often.
Josh Taylor is in the same position Crawford was in. Both unified the 140 Ibs division. What matters is what happens next (Crawford is yet to capitalize on anything) but to answer your question, I follow boxing enough to call it my favorite sport and know most of the fighters in every division.
Taylor is not a household name in the US but he’s earned the spot he’s in.

Before Billy Saunders fought Canelo, he was not a big player in that division. Can you imagine if he had beaten Canelo?
This is the position Taylor is in so I’m giving him the same latitude I gave Crawford and unlike Crawford, hopefully he doesn’t disappoint.
