If Taylor fights Lopez or Crawford in the US, he'll need a KO or multiple knockdowns to win

Taylor will probably get stopped so the judges won't be a factor. Make the fight.

 

Crawford stops Taylor. Taylor stops Teofimo.

 

Interestingly how Crawford will be able to fight in U.K or Russia?
With proper testing, clauses and so on.

 

Possibly

 

Taylor has taken flush shots from Prograis and Ramirez, hard-hitting full fledged 140lbers.

Lopez has yet to be hit by anyone as big and strong as the aforementioned.

Similarly, Taylor has hurt and dropped the very best in the division. It remains to be seen whether Lopez will be as explosive a puncher at 140lbs.

Thus, I would respectfully submit if anyone gets stopped, it's likely to be Lopez.

 

I'm talking about Crawford-Taylor not Taylor-Lopez. I think Crawford beats Taylor and Taylor beats Lopez.

 

I favor Crawford by decision over Taylor.

Nevertheless I think people gravely underestimate how tough Taylor is and how unwilling he is to fold in the face of adversity.

 

Most likely and therefore there are opinions to reduce this possibility: clauses, short training camps for opponents, fight in hometown, preferably Nevada or Texas etc casual business.

Lopez I think is good boxer, but he did not had dropped nor Nakatani nor Loma ( bulked up from 126 lbs division boxer with very long mileage under belt ) and these for sure are smaller than 140 lbs division dudes.

If these Nakatani and Loma were cash cows in their hometown as real A side he most likely did not had get decision win vs these.
This all there.

 

So he needs to hide out in his basement like calz and otke, protect his meal ticket.

 

yeah, when people talk about those 4 guys, its like they all had the same career...LMAO!
reality has no time for you.

 

Mighty harsh considering Taylor has been over to the US a few times, and took the belts from Ramirez in Las Vegas.

Taylor is pretty damn far from Ottke or Calz in that respect.

Tbh, with some of the terrible scoring and corruption that goes on it's a wonder any fights get made these days.

If Crawford can't accept Spence as the 'A-side' @147 and have a 40/60 split, then he ain't going to come over to UK to fight Taylor, that's for sure. But he did come across to take Ricky Burns WBO 135 belt, but that was way back in 2014. Can't see Crawford going to UK these days - and seeing some of the scoring on either side, it's hard to blame either party (Burns has some realy dodgy scoring in a few fights in Glasgow).

Sucky kind of impasse, probably causes way too many fights to fail to materialize

 

i wasnt agreeing with him, i was highlighting how stupid the whole premise was. taylor is a fighting man, a real one, he dont need his aunts keeping him safe on forums.
