    Taylor looked good, but O'hara looked super one dimensional. It was unfortunate I could not see the fight live. Tried to youtube it and not see the result, but the first freaking result was "Josh Taylor TKO's Davies", can't stand scum who post spoilers like that. O'hara reminds me of that kid you played video games with that spammed the same move over and over again. When the spam didn't work anymore, they did not know how to change it up, so they continued to just spam. Davies was just swinging power shots the whole time. He did not change the speed of his punches, he rarely went to the body, and was mostly loading up on right hands. Davies seems to have power, great reach, and is athletic, but his ring IQ is extremely low.

    Taylor will never be on Crawford's level. The OP started this thread because I like Crawford, lol. The OP thinks that I'm a dentist too lol. Crawford won't be at 140 in the next 2 months. And Taylor doesn't have the style to beat a top pure boxer.

    Has Crawford stated that he's moving up after whooping Indongo?

    Jesus dude, everything on this forum isn't about you.

    I feel that Taylor has the style to beat Crawford if he is developed right, and gave my reasons.

    Also you did say you were a dentist before ^, and I called you out on it and you didn't deny it

    I wonder who he's going to fight. It's going to be hard to make fights against Al's guys.

    We know why you created this post lol. And as I said, you didn't get the joke. But that was probably your alt that I was speaking to trash poster.

    They won't be able to avoid him. None of them are draws so they can't hide behind Haymon and make money.

    Said it since day one that Taylor has the goods. An excellent fight and a good card too, I thought. He'll be the top guy at 140 soon, not sure a Crawford fight would ever happen at 140, if you consider their career trajectories.

    This is not true. A few posters including myself predicted that Josh would light up OD on the inside.

    I'm studying Dentistry right now and there's just no way a complete idiot like Blizzy would be able to comprehend any of it :lol: I can quiz him on it if you like..

    To the topic, people tend to get carried away in praising a fighter after he wins. To say he can possibly beat Terence Crawford is a massive statement. I didn't watch the fight so I can't say a thing, but Crawford is arguably P4P the best fighter today.

    He needs to do more than beat a regional fighter like Davies before we can get really serious about this match up. With that said he did look very good in that fight.
