    Spence's win over Van Heerdan would be Taylor's fourth best win.

    Josh Taylor is the better all round fighter, who has cleared out his division unlike Spence, and has better resume. He actually had the balls to face all the best fighters in his division and beat them

    Almost all of Spences opponents have just been overrated guys like Danny Garcia who didn't even try to win, and the medicore Lamont Peterson. Mikey Garcia is no welterweight

    Also Taylor has done it in a far quicker time frame.

    Spence is barely even P4P top 10, I have him 11th

    Can anyone imagine Spence fighting away from home at top level?

    Think hard about what you just said, then step into traffic.

    Taylor a better fighter than Spence?

    Lol! Ohhh boy, let the overrating of Josh begin.

    Taylor went life and death with his eye shut against a poor man's version of Spence in Prograis.

    Josh is better than Spence based on WHATT???

    Having just watched the Taylor Ramirez fight, I have to say that Taylor is good but not special, not top ten pound for pound. In the top ten I'd put Inoue, Lomachenko, Crawford, Canelo, Usyk, Chocolatito, Estrada, Ioka, Beterbiev, Bivol, and just outside Spence, Joshua, Garcia, Saunders, Lopez, Davis, Wangek, Taylor.

    They should be right next to each other on any objective p4p list imo.no need to denigrate either guy. they are both excellent.

    I think Spence is a cut ahead. Taylor would be closer to Jermell Charlo.

    Spence took the title from Kell Brook in Sheffield who was undefeated at Welterweight.

    Spence went life and death and was losing to Kell Brook who was damaged goods from the GGG fight, and he had a real close life and death fight with the bar room brawler Shawn Porter. Spence aint this special kid you're making out.

    Taylor actually has the balls to get in the ring with the best in his division. Something Spence completely refuses to do with the main man in his division - Crawford. Highly likely Taylor gets in the ring with Crawford BEFORE Spence , which tells you everything.

    It’s funny how people try and make Spence and Crawford these all time greats. Are they good? Yea. But they are no more special than any other fighter past or present.
