I knew Josh Taylor wasn't all that when..

No I don't

Because he wasn't a weight bully

He weighed 149lbs vs Olivera and less than Rougarou on fight night

He became a weight bully later in his career but he wasn't dragging fighters up in weight and world champions up in weight like PBC's tried and trusted formula

But just so you understand I couldn't care less if he or anyone else weight bullies, holds like an octopus, or win gifts from the judges if it's against fighters from across the pond who do this. In fact I welcome it. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. I'm just being real with you

He literally bashed Porter's head in Porter's own gym when he was a 7-0 140 pounder and Porter was a former welterweight champion and he dropped Ugas and sent him to the hospital with a damaged jaw

Taylor was so overrated he became undisputed 4 fights quicker than it took for Spence to even win one world title and, unlike Spence he wasn't cleaning out 140 of all its 135 pounders and featherfists albeit Spence obviously cleaning out 147 of al its 140 pounders, and he actually fought many legit punchers who were career 140 pounders

Crawford may well beat Taylor but, unlike Spence, Taylor doesn't have a glass jaw, get dropped by jabs, and have to buy time for his head to clear on 3-4 separate occasions by spitting out his mouthpiece after getting clocked by light to average punchers

 

Same can be said for Spence or Shakur. Weak divisions, right place, right time

No matter how you try and spin it becoming undisputed in 18 fights, the record of all your opponents at the world level (from your 14th to last fight) being a combined 201-3, or 203-4 including the Catterall rematch, is impressive and, as said, he fought many punchers and wasn't dragging opponents up in weight
