    Taylor.

    Fury looks the real deal but doesn't really have the resume to back it up... AJ has a much better resume than Fury but looks more beatable at times.

    Taylor has both the feats and the fundamentals - this ain't really close.

    Do you mean his personality, or do you actually know JT? Just curious!

    I'm from Edinburgh and don't know anyone that knows Taylor personally, but have enough anecdotal reports that he's fairly well regarded where he comes from and not the 'knob' that a lot of folks seem to think he is, but some of his social media and night out antics havenn't done him any favours in terms of perception fo sho.

    Josh Taylor no question. If Fury beats AJ he's in with a shout though.

    Damn I didn't know being undisputed at 140 meant so much around here. Are there any other guys who have unified LWW in recent years?

    Thank you. I was not sure how to respond to @Surrix without sounding like a wanker....I was thinking the guys he mentioned would kill any fighter from 140 to 168:headbash:risas3::risas3:

    Taylor the most talented and AJ has the best resume.

    I dont know him I just mean based on said antics and by reputation def are some uk boxing Twitter ppl I follow that dont seem to think much of him either FWIW. But that's separate from me knowing he's a very good fighter.

    Taylor then AJ

    Surely nobody can put fury at number one hes fought nobody. Same as billy joe really, bags of natural ability but a **** poor resume.

    For now it’s Josh
    But if Fury beats both Wilder & AJ for undisputed he will take it.
