If it was Lopez' next fight I would have to go with Taylor. However, give it 18 months and the weight draining effect on Taylor combined with Teo getting rid of ring rust while getting use to the weight could certainly produce a Lopez win.
Good fight but i dont think Teo can lay on the ropes and take rounds off against Taylor without taking alot of punishment. 60-40 Taylor for me.
This fight won't happen, and if it does it will be many years down the line at 147, because the weight cut down to 140 is getting harder and harder for Taylor. It's most likely that Taylor rematches Catterall then moves up regardless of the result. But in the unlikely event that this fight does happen in the near future at 140, I'm gonna pick Teofimo.
Did everyone forget about the Kambosos fight? I wouldn't even favor Teofimo against Ramirez or Zepeda let alone Taylor.
I was leaning to Teo before but after seeing Teo at 140, I think Taylor eventually knocks him over. Not out, but over, and wins a decision.
The Taylor who beat Rougarou, JCR, Postol, Baranchyk, Khongsong, Vazquez, Martin, and Davies will urine on Teo
