    Haney, Barboza, Pitbull, Teo, etc have just shown how easy Taylor's competition and era was lets be honest. Hitchins just beat Paro who would be Taylor's beat win resume wise

    Stop you don't even believe this ****. Lmfao. Taylor went life and death with prograis ffs. Spence was clearly better and has a better resume as well. Typical of the usual suspects to downplay Spence and talk up Taylor a guy who got dominated and clowned by teo and got a gift against Jack and lost to him.

    Those guys weren't that good B level guys to b+ level at best. They were never elite

    You are denying Taylor's excellent run even if they were B+ he fought a bunch of undefeated champions back to back no tune ups. Spence has no A+ wins. Taylor's prime was over quickly Teo was picking the bones. If Taylor got clowned by Teo then what did Crawford do to Spence?

    Crawford is an A+ atg hof fighter who would beat teo and Taylor in the same night. Spence is better than Taylor period.

    Crawford would not beat them both on the same night do you know how difficult that would be?
    Also I never said that Taylor was better than Spence but he is more accomplished period.

    Ramirez is 32. Prograis got totally embarrassed and dropped by the dream even if he was past it. Baranchyk lost to love. His rival and Ramirez got dominated by Barboza who just dropped a decision to Teo. Zepeda lost to Hitchins. Davies lost to Barroso who lost bum Rolly. Rolly also managed to beat Ryan who beat Haney. The wins aged bad, which is indicative of a weak era. That being said Taylor still managed a huge feat and is clearly past it

    The fights all those guys had with Taylor took a lot out of them. They were undefeated at the time they fought Taylor and most of them were world champions.

    That's 5 weight classes, Spence = Taylor.

    Those guys are all better than Rolly who managed to be a top player at 140, in an era stronger than the one Taylor dominated. I have no doubt Taylor was an elite champion, undisputed is a monumental feat, but i have questions....Crawford is about to fight Canelo

    Taylor is a British boxing legend. Injuries and inactivity didn’t help him, plus his own lack of motivation post Ramirez, but he’s still one of our best.

    His best win was Ramirez if you want to say becoming undisputed in a weak 140 is more accomplished than what Spence accomplished be my guest. Historically it won't be and Spence will be seen as the greater fighter.

    Hasn't Haney beaten Taylor's best 2 wins in far more dominant fashion? But Haney is hated!

    And those wins have all aged badly/terribly

    Broner is a four-weight champion too and he also has a trash resume

    Taylor is a one-weight champ with a better resume than four-weight champ Broner

    Rolly is another PBC/Showtime hype job. The only reason he became a champ is because of the brazen corruption of Premier Boxing Criminals. Rolly lost to Twink, lost to Cruz, clearly lost to Jackson Martinez, and was well on his way to losing to 40 y/o cherry pick Barroso too until that corrupt snake Tony Weeks literally waved the fight off over nothing which in case you forgot is how Rolly became a champ.

    Rolly is not a top player :lol:

    How did he waltz into an immediate title shot at 140 after losing his previous fight via KO at 135?


    Ryan is a hype job whose only real claim to fame is IG and beating the crap out Haney who fell apart the first time he fought someone who could punch he didn't weigh 2-4 weight classes more than and didn't reside in a care home

    Haney just ran like a thief in the night from 1-12 vs a completely washed JCR whose power he was absolutely petrified of

    Clenelo is shot to bits, hasn't stopped anyone since the end of 2021 despite the fact he's been cherrypicking binmen with the exception of Bivol.

    And :lol:
