Josh Taylor... a very basic fighter, nowhere near world level. Not even close. All he has is size.

Like I said, Tank would have smashed his kid. Bro, Taylor was getting rocked with lunging jabs and grazing shots. The guy's chin is not great and his boxing skills are .... also not great

He is a very basic fighter without much skills to speak of. He's big, that is all.

Josh Taylor will take canvas naps DAILY if he fights up there at 47, BOOK IT. Any of the top 10 147's would knock him cold.

 

I could see Joshy Taylor taking repeated canvas naps at 147 and that is undeniable.

Keith, Ortiz, Jaron, Spence, Crawford, etc would punch this man's lights out.

 

So if he is utter trash, does this mean Lopez win means very little?

 

147 Is going to be A very tough division for JT to compete in. I don't see him doing well in that division at all. I think Rocha would beat him.

 

Ugas himself went on about almost getting sent to hospital in sparring with Taylor. Ugas is a huge welterweight, who , even in his old age, made Spence spit out his gum shield and turn his back.

Taylor is a better boxer than Lopez, just like Lopez is a better boxer than Kambosos. He lost the fight due to inactivity and injury recovery.

People are seriously downplaying Josh Taylor

 

Taylor is an overachiever if anything. He isn't significantly better than fighters like Ramirez, Prograis, or Zepeda yet he has accomplished so much more.

Taylor's ability to control distance and use his reach is disappointing to say the least. He kept running into counters all night. With that said, what a ****ing chin on Taylor! That last right hand in round 12 should have been lights out yet he was only briefly rocked by the punch.

 

People love to give credit to boxers for the sake of it. Being inactive and coming off injuries is going to seriously impair a boxer who is fighting someone like Lopez who has sharp reflexes.

You seem to be hinting the Taylor that fought Lopez was the same that fought Prograis/Baranchyk. If you believe that, then unfortunately your opinion is invalidated

 

He is... not a world class fighter...

He is... between world class and journeyman. Maybe closer to journeyman.

 

Excuses.

 

That`s not true but he is the worst world champ in recent memory aside from a few real trash champs, to become undisputed with Taylor`s bd fundamentals is unusual.

 

Taylor had a great run and for a brief period was a total force. not true elite in terms of skills but skilled enough

but sometime between Ramirez and Catterall he became shot and he should retire before he takes serious damage

 

At 47 he's bound to get knocked out.

 

Believe that if that helps you sleep at night
