    You think the wee man could win or not?

    Davis may be a big puncher but Taylor is also a big puncher has never been dropped pro or amateur

    I think Taylor is the better overall fighter, and bigger. Davis was hurt against Pedraza. I think Taylor Mauls him and KOs him late

    i like taylor. i think tank is gonna find out the guys at 140 arent folding to his punches like the smaller fighters at 130. i dont think he has the iq to solve that issue. im not even sure he will beat barrios.

    Taylor outpoints him. Davis lacks the ring iq to get past Taylor's jab and will find himself getting strafed with counter straights and uppercuts then getting smothered and closed down on the inside. He'll have some success early while he's still fresh and Taylor is still finding his feet, but the longer the fight goes on the more one sided it becomes.

    Josh Taylor showed he is as smart as he is a tough fighter.

    the way he fought Ramirez was not the same way he fought prograis.

    he fought brave but cautious.
    Even when he had Ramirez in serious trouble on the verge of the KO, he stayed super disciplined & smart as that would have gave Ramirez his only real shot back into the fight.

    impressed with Josh,
    It’s hard to pick against him.

    Taylor beats tank who has no business in the ring with the elites at 140.

    The volume and pressure get to Tank, such a weird move going up that high after he just got back to 130.

    Christ, let's see Tank once at 140lbs (or more than a handful of times at lightweight even) before we do this, eh?

    Taylor whips Davis. Huge difference in talent level.

    Never thought much of Taylor. Tank whups him. Tank by late KO. Cept he probably wouldn't take the fight. Might be risky.

    At 140 Taylor is a shell of himself, Tank KOs him.

    147 is a step too far for Tank, Taylor would win by decision.

    I don't think highly of Taylor but Tank's fought nothing but bums. I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor beat him.
