    Both became undisputed

    Both looked terrible during their last fight at their weight right before they planned on moving up.

    Both looked weight drained during the weight in because they were huge for their weight class

    Both got bested by the written off underdog

    They have a lot of things in common, they should fight eachother

    I still think Taylor wins without too much trouble

    Sounds like Taylor is having problems making 140 so I doubt it happens since he'll probably move up to 147.

    If they follow the standard course by the time Teo hits 147 Taylor will be getting on in years.

    However, Lopez has shown he likes matchups that make a splash. I could definitely see him chasing Taylor to 147 quicker than expected since I think he's got a bee in his bonnet for this fight.

    Right now you have to favor Taylor, but eventually the pendulum will swing as Taylor ages and Teo enters his prime.
