Comments Thread For: Froch: Crawford Beats Josh Taylor, But Taylor Deserves To Be in There

[Madison Boxing]

You know the writers of the boxingscene have ranked Josh Taylor in their top 10 P4P, I personally disagree. A P4P elite boxer should be able to compete with men at higher weights, but I dont believe that Josh Taylor could even beat a Andre Berto at 147, or even a rising prospect like Blair 'The Flair' Cobbs.

But I bet you that Teofimo Lopez would go on to 140 and win titles and even beat the 'Tart-Tomato' if given the chance, because thats what REAL P4P talent does. Carl 'Cobra' Froch knows that Josh Taylor is absolutely overrated, Terence Crawford would thrash Josh Taylor worse than Andre Ward did Carl Froch in the Super-Six.

so winning the fight by one round on the scorecards in your home country is considered a thrashing?

Well, medical reports have explained Teofimo's life and death battle with George Kambosos, but I have yet to read any proof that Josh Taylor really had a knee-injury a few weeks ago. I personally believe Josh Taylor faked it too further rust Jack Catterall, who is already coming in to face Taylor after the biggest layoff in his entire career.

i personally believe you are full of ****!!!

Peter, can Josh Taylor beat Conor Benn at 147? What about Amir Khan? or a Kell Brook? I give a healthy Teofimo Lopez a better chance than the 'Tart-Tomato' Josh Taylor over all the aforementioned welterweights.

Taylor would beat the dog **** out of Benn it’s disrespectful to even suggest otherwise

Nothing to do with the fact that he fought like a moron then?

Was Ward vs. Froch close on the judges scores? I'm pretty sure the 'Cobra' was dominated and manhandled by Andre 'S.O.G' Ward, and Carl has been salty ever since.

Listen pal, I know that you are fond of Conor Benn, and are probably in your feelings and conflicted on who wins between Benn and Taylor.

I dont know, Josh Taylor's terrible defense and impulse to brawl gives Conor Benn a good chance of knocking-out the 'Tart-Tomato' cold, like Chris Ageiri. We know that Josh chin has been shattered by Regis Prograis, Connor Benn is like Prograis but bigger. Since Conor Benn is cherry-picking lately, I think Josh Taylor is the perfect opponent.

Its hard to think straight when you cant breath.

I think this will be Crawford’s toughest fight at 147.

Im not a huge fan of Josh Taylor either but beating Prograis has to count for something. Prograis beats Teo if they ever fought also. Josh is a quality fighter and i actually believe he beats everyone baring Crawford, Spence and ennis at 147(assuming he can absorb getting hit by bigger guys)

Teofimo Lopez vs. Regis Prograis is intriguing, its a 50-50 fight, but I lean toward the wolf-man because Lopez may not be the same after nearly killing himself vs. George Kambosos. Teo's imminent arrival at 140 is a good conversation-piece, much more interesting than talking about some that talk about moving up ( like Josh Taylor ), but never doing it.

Another bitter comment from ****froach...

Bitter about what? Have you even read it? He says Josh could win it, but would favour Crawford.

“Crawford is a special talent, a big puncher," said Froch to The Scotsman. "Josh certainly deserves to be in there with someone like Crawford, but that's a name that is right at the top of my pound-for-pound rankings. I don't want to say he beats him, but he belongs in there. If I had to pick who would win that fight, I'd have to be honest and say Crawford.

"But there's no reason Josh Taylor can't beat him.”

Where is he being bitter there?
