What do you mean "once and for all"? Taylor has proved he is the best in the division, he has all the belts, "once and for all" makes it sound like Taylor has ducked Teo or something. Teo hasn't even fought at the weight ffs, as of this moment Teo is still a lightweight.
Lopez is the better fighter but it`s a question of whether his power is enough against the bigger fighter.
I'm very interested in both fights. Lopez could've fought Loma next, put that out of the way and move on from there. Now he'll keep getting the same questions as to why he's not fighting Loma.
Pograis is bigger than Loma but nowhere near his level P4P, Teo has the more proven skills, is just Taylor`s size that`s the concern. Pograis never cracked the P4P top 10.
Taylor's resume alone is BETTER than Loma's resume. If we here do have intent to talk realistically and not take in account Loma's am resume plus that he had too long mileage in ams under belt before turned into a pro. And yeah, Taylor's resume is better than both guys : Loma and Lopez pro resumes together. This ofc is for today's situation. How these skills had been proved? Chess match vs Loma? Sorry, Loma and Nakatani are not nor largest nor hardest hitting boxers in 135 lbs division. Not to talk about 140 division boxers. Lopez is walking around 150-154 lbs and sorry, he was not able to finish nor Nakatani nor Loma.
and bulked up 126 lbs division pro boxer who did not had any problems to make 126 lbs when he was 26?-27 y.o. Imagine Lopez now is 24, how he will make 126 lbs when he will be 26 y.o? Lopez's frame is large for 135 lbs division boxer. Also I dunno does for example Loma have more 1 punch power than boxers like Linares, Campbell, I don't see this.
The first difference between Taylor and Loma is this reality: Taylor today is totally and absolutely UNDISPUTED @ 140 lbs : The Ring, WBA ( Super ), WBO, IBF and WBC World titles. It is like Usyk had achieved in CW division. UNDISPUTED. Loma after get WBO World Title vs Garry Russel Jr, had some fight and then moved up to 130 lbs, later 135 lbs division. I think IF Loma had stayed in 126 lbs and had get fights vs titleholders in 126 lbs division he too MIGHT had been UNDISPUTED in 126 lbs division and with this be like Usyk, Taylor etc UNDISPUTED champs with 5 belts.
yeah but he is too small for 135 lbs division, not alone for 140 lbs division and does have casual EE origin boxers curse: too long mileage in ams under belt too. Yeah, he is 2X Olympic Gold medalist and 2X World Championship Gold medalist etc achievements : if ams had HOF, he already was there, cos besides these mentioned achievements he does have bunch with other medals and cups etc stuff. I had mentioned just some from these adult elite division achievements, he had in juniors and cadets medals too. Linares and Campbell fights showed that Loma isn't enough large for 135 lbs division despite he had won these. Campbell btw isn't chinny, if someone doesn't think that liver is chin or head.
