It takes more than just a good fighter to win a tournament like the WBSS and unify a whole division in less than 20 fights. He accomplished a lot more than your boy Spence who the usual suspects thought was special.
Spence was light years better than Taylor. Figures the usual suspects would try and downplay a clearly superior fighter with a better resume.
Taylor is more accomplished than Spence. Taylor beat prime undefeated fighters most of Spence's best wins were against washed opponents. Typical of the usual suspects to say that Taylor was not special.
Haney, Barboza, Pitbull, Teo, etc have just shown how easy Taylor's competition and era was lets be honest. Hitchins just beat Paro who would be Taylor's beat win resume wise
Stop you don't even believe this ****. Lmfao. Taylor went life and death with prograis ffs. Spence was clearly better and has a better resume as well. Typical of the usual suspects to downplay Spence and talk up Taylor a guy who got dominated and clowned by teo and got a gift against Jack and lost to him.
You are denying Taylor's excellent run even if they were B+ he fought a bunch of undefeated champions back to back no tune ups. Spence has no A+ wins. Taylor's prime was over quickly Teo was picking the bones. If Taylor got clowned by Teo then what did Crawford do to Spence?
Crawford is an A+ atg hof fighter who would beat teo and Taylor in the same night. Spence is better than Taylor period.
Crawford would not beat them both on the same night do you know how difficult that would be? Also I never said that Taylor was better than Spence but he is more accomplished period.
Ramirez is 32. Prograis got totally embarrassed and dropped by the dream even if he was past it. Baranchyk lost to love. His rival and Ramirez got dominated by Barboza who just dropped a decision to Teo. Zepeda lost to Hitchins. Davies lost to Barroso who lost bum Rolly. Rolly also managed to beat Ryan who beat Haney. The wins aged bad, which is indicative of a weak era. That being said Taylor still managed a huge feat and is clearly past it
The fights all those guys had with Taylor took a lot out of them. They were undefeated at the time they fought Taylor and most of them were world champions.
Crawford wins which have aged badly Name of victim followed by the fighters who beat them after Crawford did Burns - Zlaticanin, Figueroa Jr, Indongo, Crolla, Selby Gamboa - Castellanos, won a gift vs Jason Sosa, Twink, Haney, Cruz Beltran - Pedraza, Commey, Francis Dulorme - Ugas, Jamal James, Stan, Super Boots, Vergil Ortiz Lundy - Abdullaev, Sparrow, Zepeda, Robbie Davies Jr, Martin, Bunch, Mercado, Scoby Postol - Taylor, JCR, GAR, Rodriguez Molina Jr - Figueroa Jr, Lopez Felix Diaz - Santana Indongo - Rougarou, Yeleussinov, Mwakinyo, Jenkins, Nematov, Agrba, Kozlovsky, Abbasov, Mtangi Horn - Zefara, Tszyu Benavidez - Danny Garcia, Jermallo Khan - Brook Egis - Vergil Ortiz Avanesyan - Super Boots Spence - hasn't fought since Madrimov - Vergil Ortiz Khan and Brook were shot, Porter retired straight after Not to mention many of these had lost, lost numerous or many times before fighting Crawford and a bunch either didn't fight again or only had 1, 2, 3 fights afterwards
That's 5 weight classes, Spence = Taylor. Those guys are all better than Rolly who managed to be a top player at 140, in an era stronger than the one Taylor dominated. I have no doubt Taylor was an elite champion, undisputed is a monumental feat, but i have questions....Crawford is about to fight Canelo
Taylor is a British boxing legend. Injuries and inactivity didn’t help him, plus his own lack of motivation post Ramirez, but he’s still one of our best.
