    Don't jump on Ramirez's bandwagon if he starts getting W's over a Progais or Taylor. I remember you called him basic.

    Basic doesn't mean he can't win fights. Your way of thinkking is super flawed.

    That's not what I thought. You were clearly downplaying him. I forgot if you used basic or limited but it was one of them. What do you mean by basic? To me basic means they only have like a jab and a straight, and very predictable.

    Basic means to me that there's not one thing about his game that stands out to me other than his heart and will to win. He doesn't have the talent of a Crawford or a Garcia for example.

    His motor doesn't stand out? That motor is rare. His style is just way different than Crawford and Garcia, it doesn't make him basic. I'll let you hop on the bandwagon, but you need to say you were wrong about calling him basic, and stop trying to re-define what you were trying to say. I'm guessing you jumped on cause you know Big G and Robert see something in him.

    Call me a hater but even if Prograis beats Taylor I'm still saying he's overrated lol. If Prograis beats Taylor, Taylor was just a hypejob to me and the Postol fight depicted his level.

    Heart is a major part of a "motor"... You're weird bro .. being basic doesn't mean he can't win fights. Margarito was basic and he beat guys who were way talented tohan him. There's nothing wrong being a basic fighter if you can find a way to win, you just have to take a few more shots and work a little bit harder to get it.

    Around 4-5. I think I watched 2 before the Davies fight which is why I said Davies is flatfooted and that could be the differencce, and I saw the Davies fight, Postol fight, and Martin fight.

    What? Lol heart is part of motor? Having heart doesn't allow you to just throw that many punches and put that constant pressure lmao. I never said being basic doesn't mean you can't win fights, stop being words in my mouth. He's clearly not basic. He has a lot of punches in his arsenal, good speed, cuts the ring off well, and has endless stamina.

    To be fair to Taylor I thought that fight with Davies would be closer. After he dominated Davies I way overrated him, thought he'd destroy Postol, like 99% of the people on here. I'm not falling into that trap again until he proves it to me at least once against that level of opposition.

    You think you know more than you actually know. I suggest you watch more boxing. You have to have heart to even step in the ring and take punches for a lilitving.. heart to get in the gym and train for 8 weeks . Like I said, your way of thinking is flawed.

    He's not even close to a hypejob and is far more skilled than Prograis, Regis is great, I love watching him, but the fact is, he's a battering ram, Ramirez is quality, and more skilled than Prograis, but his main attribute is his awkward angles and speed, Taylor is by far the most technically sound of the 3. There's nothing he doesn't do well, Taylor thought he could go in guns blazing with Postol, get him out of there, fought stupid for a little too long, then he settled down and pulled away down the stretch.

    Here, I have most of his matches on the front page, watch his match against Vazquez, its solid.
