    If Crawford went back down and this fight happened, what's the outcome ?

    I'd like to think Josh wins on points but feel Crawford might be to strong at this weight.

    Thoughts ?

    It would be similar to the Felix Diaz fight.

    Would it be Crawford's best win if he beat Taylor?

    Crawford's best win was Horn, who gave pacquiao hell and Crawford made it look easy. Most boxing world at the time thought horn was gonna be too big, but Crawford also showed he was the stronger fighter.

    Taylor beats Horn just as easily.

    Eh.... not so fast. Horn is massive, Postol hurt Josh a few times. Horn would be no walk in the park. At least not the drained out of sorts version that faced Crawford. I'm really, really, really high on Josh, but Horn is quality and not a cakewalk for most WW's, much less LWW's that have never fought at WW.

    U can say that, but Taylor didn't even look that special against postol, whom Crawford outclassed and embarrassed.

    Horn is massive for the weight, which mattered against an aged Pac (even though I thought he lost). But he's not good enough to hang with Josh imo.

    He looked decent in a good quality scrap. Postol won a few rounds and had a few good moments. Postol definitely underperformed against Crawford and still took a few rounds off him.

    He'll negate Josh's quality work at times with his strength and toughness, but I would expect Josh to pull through for a split decision, I think Horn pushes him down to style and being natural at the weight, skill wise, hes on another planet Josh. Only my two cents though mate, Josh might very well run rings round him

    Postol looked like an amateur against Crawford. He was two steps slow and hitting at where Crawford had been not where he was. Crawford stole Postol's heart in the fight and he has not looked good since

    Well we know Horn wasn't good enough to beat Taylor in the amateurs.

    Horn is a weird one.

    Not an elite fighter, but huge for the weight with the kind of relentless style that will trip up ostensibly more talented opponents.

    I like Taylor but hes really had things his own way for awhile now. Nobody’s really asked him any questions. Crawford definitely has the style to counter the hell out of Taylor but Taylor is so quick.

    I’m leaning towards Crawford on points 7 rds to 5

    Most at the time thought no such thing. Crawford was a big favorite going into that fight.
