    the beauty of a crawford vs taylor is that they are both NASTY. hahaha they will mix it up. Some dirty **** will go on. Crawford is gonna "turn it on". Just for Taylor to do the same as well. 51/49 crawford for me rn, age plays a factor but bud is still the baddest man at 147.

    I follow him on Twitter but he's just one boxer of several dozen in my feed; it all just mustn't happened to have come across my eyes before now.

    Agreed. Bud is used to, atop the rest of the advantages in his favor, having an edge in grime & grit. Not sure he would retain either, here. Curious to see his reaction when somebody plays just as rough with him, and is big enough to match him physically.

    Believe we have seen Bud closer to seriously hurt than we have Josh? :thinking:

    Taylor is really boderline dirty hahaha i forgot which fight, but he wasnt afraid to really use his shoulders. We saw in the Bud-porter fight that bud does lose rounds to a dirty or messy style, Josh can definitely replicate bits of Porter's gameplan. But i dont think josh should throw away rounds against bud, he has to put his foot down the entire fight, even if he is up. Its my one criticism of the Tartan Tornado, he takes rounds off.

    Yes especially late, where we have seen Crawford thrive. That is certainly a consideration.

    Could even wind up being a DLH vs. Tito situation where TTT feels he did enough to coast, but...hadn't. (at least in the official judges' eyes)

    I think I saw an interview after the Ramirez scores where Josh said he would never make that mistake again!

    I might get **** for this but I think people are sleeping on Catterall a little… Big fan of Taylor but I would love Caterall to pull off the huge upset .. skilful southpaw.. you have to go with the Scot but I won't be surprised if it's a close fight

    In theory the conditions for an upset are all there in the pot. Josh looking very drained, Josh and everyone sweeping Catterall under the rug, people not factoring in Catteralls mid range hand speed and southpaw stance, etc

    But the pot wont stir. I can clearly see the Catterall sucks on the inside. Catterall will try and box, get pressed, and get caught with counters galore when he over reaches like he always does. Catteralls only means of success is the clinch and the quick mid range shots. Thats it.

    I'm not picking him to pull off the upset or anything but I've had a sneaky feeling Catterall might make this more difficult for JT than many expect him to. I know many people within the game who've seen him up close and personal in the gym rate him highly and say he's not shown near his best yet and I get the distinct impression some of those sparring rumours have found their way to JT's ears and he rates him too.

    Catterall is a skilful operator, hits harder than his record suggests, seems to be quietly confident and I read that he's never been down amateur, pro or in the gym. JT is obviously very good and even if you're very good yourself his talent level is such he could still steamroller you. But if Catterall can take the power it should be competitive.

    Why do you need someone whose skills you admire in whatever field to think like you on particular issues?

    Taylor's right, anyway. Masks and vax and lockdowns were all bull****. If you ever went in a real boxing gym, you'd find out that most who spend time in and around the sport feel the same way. Imagine expecting any guys who spend their time in a humid gym head-to-head with other guys (getting sprayed with their sweat and saliva, i.e. the realities of sparring) to buy into the mask lie, let alone monolithically.


    On-topic;

    There's not a great deal to think about here. It's hard to see a route to victory for Jack, just doesn't have the experience, spite or adaptability to get around Taylor.

    Paper Champ Taylor won't give Ramirez a rematch Because he knows he will lose again
