    First time I watched it I had it a draw but after re watching it I had Taylor edging it out

    Teo has a better case for HOF than Taylor

    No but his route to undisputed was much tougher than Haney's and Crawford's and his resume is way better than Haney's is

    His last 8 opponents

    And don't forget he's still only had 20 fights himself

    Teofimo 18-1
    Catterall 26-0
    JCR 26-0
    Khongsong 16-0
    Rougarou 24-0
    Baranchyk 19-0
    Martin 22-0
    Postol 29-1

    And prior to that you have

    Vazquez 39-5
    Davies 15-0

    Broner is technically a four-weight champion but his best win in 40 fights is DeMarco and he should have about 7 or 8 losses on his ledger and would do without his home judges :facepalm:

    No way, nowadays everyone thinks just any fighter stringing up a few decent wins automates a HOF nod.

    No. A lot left to be done if he wants to get there and recent performances would make some doubt that he will do it, myself included.

    Josh Taylor would need to mount a comeback, win back his titles or move up in weight to challenge the top fighters there. He would need to do something drastic if he wants a HOF worthy career.

    Probably. Had a good undisputed run, won the WBSS and has some solid wins during what's been a pretty strong era for the 140lb division.
    Would by no means be the worst name in the HOF that's for sure.

    HELL no, beating Jose Ramirez and getting A-side decisions against Prograis and Catterall is nowhere near good enough to be in the HOF conversation

    Ill throw this in there. Carl Froch is in the hall of fame and was also just a 1 weight champ with multiple losses.

    Was Froch resume and accomplishments better than Taylors?

    Should Froch be in the hall of fame

    Please stop with the ridiculous Crawford hate. Josh went life and death with a faded Postol, whereas Crawford shut out a prime Postol.

    He's only had a TOUGHER road than Crawford because he's a vastly INFERIOR fighter to Crawford, therefore his fights look harder.

    Do you think Crawford is going 12 hard rounds with Baranchyk? Do you think Ramirez is seeing the distance with Crawford?

    Stop overrating Josh's resume.

    Bradley was given the Belt. Period. And has lived the con ever since, bragging about being smart with his millions just recently.
    I was there. Im from Palm Springs where Bradley is from. THE best gym to never get or want the hype is in Indio, where the sport and not greed matters. And today is the home of Bivol. The best technician in the game...
    And all knew who Bradley was and wasnt. Tough and smart dont get me wrong.
    And the reason he got that belt is the reason you see his face today.
    If you can "see" that too.
    Right after the Haney fight he spills it with the rest of the announcers looking at him with the WTF as he says "I know how he feels "... poor Haney wont get the cred for the "Win"; because he didnt win just like Bradley didnt.
    The **** show.
