Then make the Crawford fight next and we will see. We all know you don't want Taylor within 3 time zones of Crawford troll. I like Taylor but Crawford takes him apart. Levels!
KOing people with right hooks to the body tells me that you're a very dangerous man. Those are the hardest shots to get people to go down to.
It's also why moving up to 147 comes with some degree of risk. He will get stronger at WW but will he still remain the strongest?
Agreed! I actually think that Prograis and Ramirez would benefit from going to 147 more than Taylor, in terms of frame and so forth; Taylor is tall, but he's naturally wiry. I think Prograis and Ramirez especially might be better fighters at 147. But indeed, all of them have to deal with guys that are bigger and stronger - and in certain cases like Spence and Crawford, guys that probably walk around a good 10-15lb heavier than them.
Gorgeous technique and full torque in those shots, very reminiscent of a young 140 Cotto when he was body snatching.
I see that dilemma coming up as well. Guys like Crawford and Spence aren't much bigger than him in fairness but they seem to carry a lot more strength than the average guy themselves. He'd be a game challenger for both though, I reckon if the stars align he could beat either of them but the odds aren't with him.
To win them in US he most likely should stop them in distance. If he does have brains he will fight only in U.K and never in US with any one ever.
