    Fantastic achievement to win all 4 belts in his division.

    I think he' sright up there with the likes of Joe Calzaghe, Ken Buchanan, Jimmy Wilde, Ted Kid Lewis, Lennox Lewis ( if you class him as a Brit), Carl Froch

    He's now for sure definitely surpassed the likes of Frampton, Haye, Hatton

    He goes to 147 to fight crawford, he gets smoked.

    No shame in losing to Crawford. The best welterweight since Prime Floyd and Prime Pacquiao.

    Absolutely not. Spence is better than crawford, and he beats pac in August Crawford takes many steps back, in the p4p rankings.

    Well Taylor is fresh celebrrating a great win, clearing up his division. And you're already going up a division searching for someone to beat him. So you must be hating.

    They are both top p4p fighters, but Taylor has never fought at 147 so I can't really make a prediction yet. Would probably be a cracking fight.

    Taylors wins at 140 are definitely more impressive than Crawfords though.

    Brilliant win and career so far from Taylor. All this in 18 pro fights as well.

    Just seen on Instagram that the combined record of Taylor’s last 6 opponents was 136-1

    Fair play

    Criminal that he doesn't get more recognition. But then at the same time if he was signed with Hearn he would probably get to 30-0 with his best wins being fighters like Florian Marku and Lewis Ritson.

    Majority of the public voting will be English. I can see why he is 66-1.

    18-0 and unified all four belts, has beaten five world champions in 18 fights, and these are his last six opponent's records

    Ramirez 26-0
    Prograis 24-0
    Postol 29-1
    Baranchyk 19-0
    Martin 22-0
    Khongsong 19-0

    He’s easily Britain’s number 1. Fury and Joshua are the flag bearers for British boxing but Joshua has got that loss to Ruiz and Fury has the drugs stain and has never defended a world title. So for me it’s pretty comfortable he’s #1.
