    He’s a very good champion in an underrated division and IF successful in defeating Ramirez, he’ll be an undisputed champ by beating Three unbeaten title holders.

    He’s not Canelo, Crawford or Loma level for technical skills but he’s in conversation with almost everyone else, bar Inoue.

    definition of elite has maybe changed, if elite is Crawford level then he’s not that but I put him in a similar bracket to Tim Bradley, a very good all round fighter who won’t get credit for his skill set but will build a resume hard to ignore

    Only my opinion of course

    Loma's shoulder had nothing to do with him losing to Lopez.

    Didn't Taylor kinda beat Prograis who was considered the best American at 140lbs?

    Taylor is a big strong SLW, a little bit like Teo is at LW.

    Taylor is the real deal, proven, he is a real handful, I don't think it is as easy as "Teo would hurt and beatdown Taylor".

    We have to remember Teo looked rattled in the later rounds against Loma and in my opinion Loma isn't a huge puncher, maybe it was fatigue but Teo looked buzzed.

    Taylor punches a hell of lot harder than Loma, so forget this idea Teo walks in and just blows him away, Teo didn't walk in and blow Loma away.



    So show some respect to Scotlands finest.

    Loma never said that was the reason he performed the way he did now did he? If Loma doesn't say the shoulder was the problem, then you shouldn't use it as an excuse.

    That’s fair enough. Special should be reserved for fighters like Duran IMO but we don’t have those types now

    Ramirez might be a tough fight, strong willed and a good team behind him but IMO he’s not close to Taylor as a fighter

    Other than intangibles like will which we can’t really measure, and Taylor hardly lack these what exactly does Ramirez do better?

    Respect your opinion though

    You're right it is, but he stopped running around the sixth, and was the one backing Teo up at times. How quickly people forget.
