    You can't keep your head on the line like that against Crawford. Easy win for him against Tszyu.

    He`s got a poor gas tank and low punch output.

    Correct, Mendoza won the last 2 rds against TT due to gas tank.... he's jusy below top level, Crawford destroys him but it's a good fight with Spence

    Sure he can come back but he was never p4p #1 potential to anyone with an ounce of sense.

    He will be if given the opportunity to fight Crawford. He will still be the best. Might not happen this year due to the fights he gets. But it will happen.

    Well, he was looking fine until the cut. That’s just how it is. His stock dropped a little but he can still come back and win a rematch if he gets one, or just move on.

    I’m sure most of his fans will give him a pass if fundora tries to play hardball in Negotiations.

    He's not at that level. Crawford is getting old and eventually someone is going to beat him, but even the aging Crawford likely would handle TT.

    Stick a fork in him, he’s done.

    Not this year. The stars did not align for Tim in 2024. But we will hear the Lion Roar ( in 2025 ) The Eagle, will always soar. Before him, they'll all fall.

    He'll be back. It's only a matter of time. It's not if. It's When.

    Hard to see a 154lber becoming 'p4p' #1.. it's rare. He's good but I'm still reserving judgement as to how good.

    He's got the skills, dedication, and ticks the right boxes on the intangibles to be a P4P star I think. The Fundora set back is unfortunate but I think he'll bounce back alright. He wasn't dominated and it's not like the blood didn't play a part, it was still a close, competitive fight against one of the most awkward fighters in the sport on two weeks' notice with a fountain of blood pouring from Tim's forehead. All in all, the fact Tim was able to win rounds at all past the 2nd and make it a competitive affair should serve as a testament to how good he is. I've got a soft spot for the guy and would love to see him get Crawford (if Madrimov doesn't get to him first), Jermell, or Madrimov. He just needs to build his confidence back up with a couple well-ranked contenders to get back in the mix then the Fundora loss could be easily corrected in a rematch. I hope PBC upload more of his fights though since they only have 2 of his full fights uploaded so far for some bizarre reason.

    I think the nearest was Terry Norris, I think the ring mag rated him No.3 P4P at one point.
