    I’ve watched a good bit of Moon and I think it would be a good fight. But believe me, Tapia all day by decision.

    I have to agree with you scar. I personally think it's a bit disengenous to mention Roman, a 5'3 fighter who was weak to extreme aggression (as Payakaroon showed, so perfect match up for Moon) and never left his division, or Zapata, who did his best work at 108, was spottier at top level at higher weights and was brutally stopped by guys like Chang (not a puncher).

    Meanwhile Tapia was 5'7, long, teak tough (as proven at higher weights than 115) and also had great skills, reflexes and a limitless engine. Tapia was definitely a higher level than Richardson or Galaxy and he had all the same tools to do what they did.

    Tapia is underrated on this forum. Moon is in a weird position where the few hardcores who know him overrate him imo (as I used to years ago).
