Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor On Challenging Crawford: It's A Massive Fight; I Believe He's The Best Welterweight

[1hourRun]

Cuz unlike many PBC fighters and their fans most fighters want to face the best.

I think Taylor's inclination has more to do with 'BUD's' Toprank connection -- well at least when Terence was with the company. If Josh had been with PBC, he probably would of been dropping Errol Spence jr.'s name. But maybe I'm wrong, looks like the 'Tart-Tomato' wants to beat-up little Gervonta Davis, I think hes in for a big surprise.

I think Crawford fights Spence or Vergil Ortiz Jr. in the States. I think we'll get Josh Taylor vs. Teofimo Lopez @ 140! At least, that's what i'm hoping for!

Crawford KO’s this racist POS.

Where does that come from? Did he say something that make you think he’s racist, hell he’s in Vegas with nothing but blacks!

The only surprise would be if Leonard actually allowed Tank to take that fight. We all heard how Lenny totally dismissed Taylor as a potential opponent for Tank by claiming he wasn't a big enough name. Unlike Barrios or Isaac Cruz of course.

I'm not going to pretend Tank isn't a really good fighter and im not going to pretend he wouldn't stand a chance against the likes of a Josh Taylor or any of the top dogs at 135 but I'm also not going to pretend Tank isn't getting seriously protected by Lenny and Floyd.

I disagree. Taylor is too smart to take Bud on in his first fight at WW, but give him two fights to grow into the weight and that's an extremely close fight in a year. Of course, Bud will be 35-36 by then. Not saying that Bud still wouldn't be the favorite, but Taylor is an elite fighter who would give Bud the toughest night of his career. Not sure if you've followed his career, but JT beat far better guys at 140 than Bud did.

I don't see Taylor making Crawford his first fight at 147 either. Not unless arum offered so much $$ that it would be impossible to refuse - but then, with No Pay Cut Crawford's demands, how is TR gonna make money on the fight. Neither guy us a proven big ppv seller.

I just went over to youtube to remember what Leonard Ellerbe said about the 'Tart-Tomato' and nearly threw-up watching a fight-hub video, as they got a close-up of Ellerbe's long-grey nostril hairs

But I guess we can rule-out Tank vs. Taylor, Rolly is likely the next opponent after Isaac Cruz.

I just so happen to agree with both Josh Taylor and Floyd Money Mayweather. Terence Bud Crawford is the best welterweight and the #1 P4P fighter in the world today. As in Floyd Money Mayweather's own words; "Crawford is one bad motherfucker". "He reminds me of a young Floyd Mayweather and he can fight his ass off".

The only thing holding Crawford back from being universally recognized as # 1 is the fact that he’s had an entire stable of welterweights avoid him. But if you base your p4p list on who would be the best if size wasn’t a factor, there’s isn’t anyone I’d pick to beat Crawford.

How’s he racist?

He got hammered one night out on the town and called a bouncer "a big orange ****" or something along those lines. He met the guy in person and apologized to him so I wouldn't read too much into it. Every single one of us that has had to much to drink has said and done ignorant shiet,not an excuse but doesn't represent who you are for the most part imo.

Do you mind being a bit more specific? What race was he referring to as ‘orange’, I’m pretty confused..asian?
