crawford fought postol his 29th fight. Taylor did in his 13th. People forget hes had only 14 fights veat postol beat a decent rated ohara davies at the time (bookies favourite ) in his tenth fight. Taylor has a massive future ahead at lww and ww would have loved seen taylor in with khan in uk obs it womt happen but wouod been great see taylor win that
lol Taylor was just 12-0 when he fought Postol and had never been past 9 rounds before, whereas Crawford was 28-0 and had been 10 or more 4 times (including going the full 12 twice), and was taking part in his 7th world title fight. And Taylor wouldn't have had a significant weight advantage on Postol like Crawford did and Postol has a 4'' reach advantage over Taylor whereas Crawford's is half an inch longer than Postol's. Taylor has 2'' of height on Crawford, though. Crawford 157 - Postol 152 Here's JT weighing 3lbs less than what Postol was against Crawford and a whopping 8lbs less than what Crawford weighed against Postol and this is despite JT coming in 2lbs over the light-welter limit. This content is protected And as said, JT already beat Horn in the amateurs and unlike Crawford, who weighed more against Postol two years prior to moving up to 147 than Horn did against him and prior to Crawford spending months with his S&C coach bulking up and adding muscle and just generally getting bigger, they both would've weighed roughly the same as each other.
Crawford didn't even have a promoter until he had 20 fights. He had to be "discovered" as a sparring partner. No really a fair comparison with those who had promotion
im from scotland mate josh Taylor not been promoted great u ask 10 guys in street who he is 1 or 2 maybe know .because ge doesny have a great promoter isnt anything do hoe he performs what i am saying is he had far more professional experience when fighting postol conpared to taylor
Most likely Crawford due to longer tenure in pro fights and more experienced fighter. Though I prefer Taylor better since he and I are from same Taekwon-do style and organization.
Pacman won that fight like 9-3 and underestimated Horn completely. If Crawfords best win is a PE teacher who has beat nobody in top 10 in his division...
I'm a self confesssed Taylor fanboy but bud would frustrate and outbox josh imo...and there's no shame in that!
Taylor gives Bud his hardest fight when I think about this. Who wins hmmmmm odds say Bud but this could be close.
No, it wouldn't be close. Crawford's on another level. He'd kick Josh's ass. Taylor and Prograis are on a certain level, and that level is considerably below where Crawford/Spence are at.
I wasn’t keen on him facing Postal to begin with,still very green as that fight showed.Im big on Taylor but Crawford is a special fighter imo.
