Nope. Crawford would put an absolute beatdown on Taylor. There are levels to boxing. Taylor would get beaten up at 147, he should stay at 140 till those guys age a bit. Ramirez fight is a tough fight for him too. If Taylor wins that and enters WW at like 31, 32 while Porter, Crawford, etc are now in their mid 30's, he might have a chance.
Taylor is bigger than Crawford. Taylor would also be the best name on Crawford's CV. I think Crawford would win, but it would be close. Taylor is a better inside fighter than Crawford but Crawford could beat him on the outside. It's going to take someone at that level to beat Taylor.
taylor seems bigger and stronger then crawford, if taylor can keep the fight on the inside and push crawford around then i cant see crawford beating him, but if crawfrod can keep the fight on the outside then i got him winning
Both guys are very good inside fighters and imo can’t box a lick. But, their defense makes up for their lack of pure boxing ability. And I don’t mean that as a negative. In boxing you specialize in what ever style you want to fight. The greats are able to adapt. I didn’t come say thinking Taylor was better. Same with Prograis. I came away thinking that we need a rematch.
Respect to Taylor though. He's kind of an arrogant cocky *****, but he would fight anyone, and he did back his talk up. I just don't like how he intentionally throws after the bell, even after the 12th.
Crawford would drop Taylor at this point in time IMO, but maybe in a couple of years time, Crawford is getting on a bit now
