    You are right there. Will take a lot to sack his own father.

    Taylor v Thurman would be a real good fight for Taylor.

    99% of the people in 147 get ko'd by the top dogs. He will take on the top guys, he will giv it all and dependant on style I think he can maybe give them a wee fright, he will get paid finally what he deserves for his career

    Maybe its because AJ was a cash cow with very limited skills.

    You could be right. Davison will ruin a fighter or 2 before its over make no mistake. Josh just said he was spent after 4 or 5, in both fights. Is there a reason for that no one wants to see over the last 2-3 years?
    Superb camp for Lopez, good weight cut, on point sparring. So its hard to say. Does 147 Change anything for him and does the 80% between the ears needed for world title fights show up?
    Ide like to see him back on top, but not taking bets.

    I know it’s classic he literally said he’s not making excuses 50 times and then went onto to talk about everything under sun that may have impacted to the loss, funny. It’s new to him and he’s understandably struggling to process it. He needs to be advised to stop doing those interviews.

    Very, very good shout. Plus I hate Thurman, absolute fraud who never won a title from a champion, so it would be good to see him battered by one of our own.

    I think people need to stop jumping on the excuses bandwagon. He's said numerous times that the better man won on the night

    The fight was only on the weekend and he's being asked about the loss interviews whilst still trying to process the factors of how and why it happened itself it himself and is basically just thinking out loud.

    Keith is class, IMHO. Isn't a hypejob.

    I’m not sure about that. He gets a lot of love on this forum does Taylor. Elite boxer and tough man.

    The Collazo fight was very dodgy. Been handed regular and super belts several times. Couldn’t handle a very old Pacquiao.

    He deserved to lose that night but I don’t respect Teofimo Lopez retiring and vacating the title after. Wtf is all that about???
