Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez will collide with each other on May 22. The duo will contend for the undisputed super-lightweight title clash on May 22. Moreover, both Taylor and Ramirez will put their undefeated stints to the test against each other. The winner of this epic encounter will cement himself as the best at this weight class and might even move up in the stacked welterweight division.

Recently, the prominent boxing manager Sam Jones was in a chat alongside Behind The Gloves. Here, he spoke on this prolific bout between Taylor and Ramirez and also whom he envisions winning this fight.

He said, “That’s a great fight. I think Josh Taylor is the best 140-pound fighter. He’s proven it, and I think he’ll beat Ramirez. I think Ramirez is tailor made for Josh Taylor.”

Jones even talked about Taylor’s future post this fight. “I think Josh Taylor moves up. I think after Josh Taylor wins this fight, he goes to 147 pounds. And then who knows, he could fight Terence Crawford. Then that is a huge fight.”

‘The Tartan Tornado’ has 17 wins. But the Ramirez fight is unquestionably his toughest bout to date. Furthermore, this battle is for the undisputed title and Ramirez won’t give it so easy to him. But if Taylor gets past the American somehow, he’ll set himself up for massive fights in the future.
