    Neutral arena, 50/50 for me, so couldn't vote. Either man could win by stoppage.

    Who did that one line? I just feel Josh will not sit around doing absolutely nothing the first 4 or 5 rounds.
    Close fight but I give the edge to Josh

    Why would Teo go to England to fight Taylor?

    Great fight between two excellent champions.

    In picking a winner, I imagine it boils down to who has more question marks at the proposed weight. In this particular case, I know Taylor can hurt/drop legitimate 140lbs champions and elite level challengers. Similarly Taylor has taken flush shots from that very same caliber of fighter.

    Will Lopez possess as much destructive power at 140lbs? Maybe, but until he has demonstrated as much, it is speculative to suggest he will hit as hard at the higher weight. Likewise we have yet to see Teo's chin checked---and make no mistake, Taylor will eventually find it-- at a higher weight.

    Consequently, until further notice, I like Taylor (method of victory to be determined).

    Boxers got nothing athletically on a ballet dancer.

    Why not ?? not all fighters are like Floyd , Canelo & Ward. Some have the cojones to go to the other mans home turf

    I think he means England is not Taylors home turf. Scotland and England are 2 different countries

    The fight does little for Taylor. He has 147 on his radar now, not looking down to a 135lber.
