    crawford beat an undefeated indongo, prograis beat a crawford's left over.
    ****ing prograis, ofc I can say it Who has he fought? N O B O D Y.

    Undefeated Indongo is just "another name" in crawford's resume. Crawfrod's left over (indogo) is the best victory ever achieved by ****ing prograis.

    Just out of curiosity. Who do you consider to be Crawford's best win?

    He is better then Calzaghe
    At least his fighting style is more fan friendly.

    Ah the 'leftover' argument. Which then devalues many recent resumes!

    Andre Ward : Mikkel Kessler was Calzaghe's leftovers and Chad Dawson was Jean Pascal's
    Canelo Alvarez : Kovalev was Ward and Eleider Alvarez leftovers
    Errol Spence : All his decent wins are 'leftovers' (Brook>GGG, Porter>Brook & Thurman, Danny Garcia>Porter&Thurman)
    Teo Lopez : Salido's leftovers

    Etc, etc

    Anyway, Indongo was one of the weakest champs in recent memory and if you noted what I said, I don't think it tolds us much about Prograis OR Crawford.

    Interesting that he seems to have a problem with people thinking highly of Taylor & cites his resume as a counter to any suggestion he is better than what he personally is trying to purvey.. yet when Crawfords best win was tiny Gamboa (an inactive midget by comparison who'd fought 3 times in 3 years) he stated Crawford will be p4p #1. He reasserted that again in 2018 after TC beat Horn.. ye Jeff Horn.. he called Crawford #1 after that.. People suggest Taylor is one of the best since JC & p4p top 10 material & he has a brain fart :lol:.. Take him with a pinch of salt mate, he genuinely thinks Lucas M took a dive v Postol too LOL ..

    Why are you obsessed with name dropping Crawford when Taylor is mentioned? Are you feeling a bit insecure? They don't even fight in the same division.. I'll indulge u tho.. Let me put Taylor into perspective for you , he's been pro less than 6 years, has had 18 fights & in that time has won the Ali trophy & completely unified 140. By comparison Crawford in his first 6 years had about 23 fights & his sole achievement was beating Breidis Prescott (who to date has 18 losses :lol:) & winning ONE title.. off Burns .. a title he was gifted versus Beltran.. so it's OBVIOUS what Josh is doing is rare & almost unprecedented.. but you seem to be holding him to standards you clearly don't hold your heroes to.. u were all over Crawford back when he was boring the **** out of us & nearly getting chinned by the likes of burns & Gamboa.. yet here you are pretty much dismissing another highly skilled fighter with a VASTLY superior career to what TC had by the same point.. Why? I think we know ;)

    Only a fkin idiot would think Taylor is anything other than LEGIT by this point.

    No, Josh has a better resume by beating Ramirez and has more ofensive skill than Fury.

    because taylor's oponents best wins are the average guys in crawford's resume. Indong and postol are just "another" name in crawford's resume. Yet they are ALL there is in prograis and ramirez CV. So if you (people in the forum, not personaly you) say that crawford is not tested, then taylor is pure hype.

    It's not a matter of security, but a matter of logic. I cant stand ilogic thoughts, it's something that my brain cannot stand, it hurts my brain.

    I dont care if taylor has only 18 fights, tell me then when he has 40 and better resume than crawford. And tell me now that he's a prospect, not the best since calzhage and a hard fight to tzyu (that's laughable).

    It's not me going all over crawford, it's me going all over your "**** logic" reasoning.

    Actually... Prograis' best WINS (plural) are Flanagan, Relikh, Ramos, Indongo and Heraldez.

    Beating Ramirez is better than beating Wlad and Wilder in what world? Certainly not this one. As for Taylor having better offense thats debatable hes a more offensive fighter than Fury doesnt mean he has the best offence of the two.

    Well, I think I better stop posting about taylor. I'm not saying that he's bad. I just need to learn to deal with the hype waves that happen when a fighter does something important, that's all. And unifying a weight is important, even in a moment when the weight sucks.

    Postol was the best since cocacola too, in this forum. And today probably 99% of you would deny that you were in this train. It happens, to me too, I'm sure.

    That's normal. That makes this sport beautiful too. Pasion. No problem.
