Josh Taylor signs with Top Rank

[Baal]

This is a smart move. Will increase Taylor's fan base and exposure and open the door to big battles

It should be a sure thing. There is no promotional company in the way and it’s the obvious fight to make. I can’t imagine either ducking the other. Maybe each one gets a tune up fight before.

Top Rank with some major recent signings, hopefully Postol doesn't upset the apple cart. No reason Taylor and Ramirez shouldn't fight by the years end, only questions are, will the sanctioning bodies get in the way and how many belts will make it to the fight?

loma moving up from lightweight to fight taylor is also another great fight

Lomachenko already looks small at 135. I would still like to see the fight tho.

I hearing that Jarrel Miller might sign with Top Rank as well.

Barry seems to be going down the same road when he fell out with his promoter Eastwood.
Only now the shoe is on the other foot ! Frampton first now Taylor what's Barry doing I wonder he's had the fighters but lacks the money of Hearn Warren and Top Rank to really get the money Taylor wants.!

well this is all part of my theory. McGuigan got shafted by Eastwood, and will never forget it.
And he’s still bitter about it now. So he decides, “Fuck it, now I’m gonna be the cunt. Why should I be the nice guy, it gets you nowhere.”

Yep I think your right.🙂

Been thinking. What are the chances we get Ramirez unification and Arum looks to aim Taylor at Crawford? If he wins of course. Keep thinking Crawford really is in desperate need of super fight and bringing in Taylor really does add Top Rank momentum either way.

Taylor is listed as 2 inches taller than Crawford . That floors me.

I think that’s exactly the plan. The winner of Taylor and Ramirez will be no doubt a top 10 p4p fighter. Then it gives Crawford a legitimate opponent to beat. And even if Crawford loses, the other fighter takes Crawford’s spot.

Most likely Crawford Spence happens before Crawford Taylor. That way if Spence wins Crawford has a route back to the top of the pound for pound list and whatever fights that brings by beating Taylor. Or maybe Arum just finds a way not to make the Spence fight and keeps everything in house for a change.

It's great to have the anticipation of big fights resulting directly from big fights. Put's some pressure on Arum too and no excuses with all being under the same roof. The Spence return is huge and tell much. Ramirez really has come into his own and has proven a class act.
