Taylor was always massively overrated

No way.

In no order

Postol

Spence - PBC/Showtime hype job

Gamboa - huge size mismatch. Crawford 7lbs heavier with a 9'' reach advantage. Gamboa was a 126/130 pounder whose form is trash at 135

Madrimov - razor-close, arguably lost

Burns - Would've been coming off B2B loses if not for corruption and extreme good fortune. He lost to Beltran and was down 84-87 on all three judge's cards in his backyard with 3 rounds left to go vs Jose A Gonzalez but the later suffered a freak arm/wrist injury and had to retire in his corner

 

Debatable. Postol might be better. Beating Postol in your 13th fight >> beating Porter in your 26th

13 + 13 = 26

Half the amount of fights

And a 7-0 Taylor administered a biblical ass whoopin to a 26-2-1 Porter in Porter's own gym

 

Re. Indongo. He's packing more glass in his whiskers than a bottle bank. I did an extensive breakdown of his opponents and it's genuinely hard to think of another world champion, let alone a unified one who fought as many featherfists as him

With the exception of Troyanovsky who was a legit big puncher Indongo was stopped by everyone he fought who could punch a bit and Troyanovsky didn't land a single punch

He went 2-9 after getting stopped by Crawford, 6 of said loses via stoppage, 5 in 4 rounds or less

 

Postol's record against 140 pounders might be better than Spence's record against 140 pounders. Spence might have even fought more 140 pounders than Postol did

And Taylor took the zeros of JCR, Rougarou, Baranchyk, Martin, Catterall (controversial) Ohara, Khongsong and six of those zeros in B2B fights

 

The Porter who Crawford fought was literally coming off double hip replacement surgery so that depreciates the win. At least Postol, unlike a whole bunch of Crawford's wins, was able-bodied

Yes. I think a 12-0 Taylor fighting Rougarou, Postol, and Ramirez like a man >> Crawford running like a thief in the night from Postol

True.

 

Yeah. Good fighter but a product of the PBC/Showtime smoke and mirrors hype machine. A better ''four-weight'' champion than his fellow PBC/Showtime smoke and mirrors four-weight champion Broner but that's not hard

Shame we never got to see Loma vs Mikey because Loma would've paddled his ass, taken him to slick school and made him pull a no mas

Speaking of Mikey

Mikey on Loma vs Rigo

''A lot of time people don't take what I say serious, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rigo pulled it off''

''Rigo is a badass''

''It's definitely a good fight that's for sure''

''I feel Rigo might pull it off''
