    Yep. I hope there would be delusional scotts and brits betting on that fight, because if the odds are even 1/2 for crawford I'd take a flight to Vegas and put my life savings on it. Easiest $$$ of my life.

    thats after taylors last fight. so we both saw them the same. bud would look the beast against either one. mikey beats both, and i also lean ramirez against both. all entertaining fights, though.

    If they fought there is literally zero chance Crawford would fight him on the inside. Taylor is one of the best inside fighters in boxing.

    Crawford would beat him on the inside or on the outside. Or southpaw or orthodox.....

    Josh would give a good account of himself, but he'd be outta his depth.

    Crawford would take him apart.

    He won't be too big for Taylor, probably too skilled though.

    Too skilled. Too fast. Too powerful. Too everything.

    I would have said the same thing if Regis won.

    Crawford and Spence are in a different league than Taylor and Prograis.

    Well Taylor changed my opinion of Prograis a bit, there was a bit of an exposure tonight. Outside of Prograis' stamina being exposed, he also doesn't have much of a ring IQ, or ring sense. He hurt Taylor several times during the fight, but didn't seem to realize it, hence he never followed up. I saw him try to follow up one time late when he hurt Taylor with the head shot, and Taylor started moving away, but he had also hurt Taylor with body shots several times, and didn't realize, that that was why Taylor was clinching him.

    I also didn't like Prograis repeatedly shaking his head. At first it seemed like bravado, but later in the fight, it almost seemed like he might be trying to shake cobwebs out. He's shown a hell of a chin so far in his career, so hopefully it was still bravado, and not the other.

    You're not wrong.

    Regis didnt fight the smartest fight.

    It's a different story against Crawford, who arguably has the best ring IQ in the sport.

    And Crawford is maybe THE best finisher in the sport.

    Lets not get carried away. I think Taylor would probably be his toughest opponent, but he still gets beat imo. Crawford is an otherworldly talent

    Taylor would definitely be Crawford's best opponent.

    The guys at 140 are decent fighters but none of them pose a big threat to Crawford.

    To me, Ramirez/Taylor/Prograis are all around the same level. I'd favor Taylor again slightly over Ramirez, but again, it would be super close and Ramirez could pul it off. I'm not sure if Taylor can handle Ramirez's motor, but Ramirez looked so bad against that one Puerto Rican dude that I have to favor Taylor.
