    I think he would like him to take care of business at 135 and fight haney 1st, I cant tell that he needed to be undisputed to get a fight but he did say ''I fought all of the champions'' so maybe. He could be looking at it like this teofimo fought one person. Either way Teofimo has his own words to use if he actually fought haney and won, that taylor would fight him.
    I always felt kambosa was a waste of time.
    Now I know the fight was a mistake teofimo has no respect, Haney should have been next like he originally planned.
    It would have got him to a taylor fight by year end.

    Crawford started at 135, you don't think Taylor couldnt put on 15-20 lbs with ease?

    Taylor is a huge weight cutter, no doubt about that. I don't know why you bring Tyson into this lol.

    Teofimo is a dangerous opponent for Taylor. And it is inevitable fight for Taylor since it has been Lopez's long term plan to go up. As champion of WBA, IBF and WBO, he can put himself as main challenger.

    I don't think Taylor will accept his challenge right away. But he should prepare himself for this showdown.

    Nakatani already had proved that he is dangerous opponent for Teo.

    Of course, bob and teo will demand that fight should be in US and with deck stacked for teo.
    Most likely in Nevada or Texas.

    While Taylor might not agree and insist on fight only in U.K.
    Ppl might post anything they wish but Taylor isn't their slave.
    If he does have brains he never and ever will fight vs Teo in U.S.
    Teo needs to be tested:) in U.K and to get put on bunch with clauses.:nonono

    Plus Teo chin isn't enough tested even at 135 lbs.

    Teofimo still has lots of questions to answer. Taylor has vew few to answer. Teofimo beat Loma, but how does he fare against a big, strong elite 135lber? We don't know the answer to that.

    Taylor has been in brutal wars with multiple fighters and come out on top. He was holding his own against Prograis despite having one eye. Teofimo hasn't had a challenge like that yet

    Taylor has never really looked in serious trouble against anyone, he has a very solid chin. Teofimo is an unknown when it comes to his chin, cause Loma is not a big puncher.

    It is too early to judge Teofimo until he answers more of these questions. For now, it is only logical to favour Taylor.

    Loma was strong and elite for 126 lbs division and even there was not big lad.
    Guys does cut damn a lot and even before this maintain weight during all year.
    Nakatani also while had good reach for 135lbs division, isn't even Linares and Campbell power level. Not alone if compare vs Loma.

    Lopez vs Taylor late 2021, Taylor vs Crawford late 2022(after Taylor gets 1 or 2 fights at 147 under his belt first). Why not? Half of the undisputed champions in the 4 belts era duking it out.

    Goes without saying that I think Taylor beats Lopez right now, but will probably lose to Crawford.

    true but there is a reason Loma was trigger shy for 6 rounds.

    & that reason was Teófimo

    Lomachenko takes champions and makes them look average pnd for pnd he is the most SKILLED and soul crushing for opponent.

    Not sure about prograis and ramirez in the same sentence as Lomachenko.

    Multiple weight pro world champion, amateur champion and olympic gold medalist the list goes on and on. Y'all musta forgot.396 wins and 1 loss.

    Yeah, i see prograis and i seen ramirez they is no where near Loma in talent.Teo spanked him at 23.

    this is how i see the taylor, teo, and loma triangle. i think they are closely matched enough that they would all take losses and have wins. teo brought a particular set of problems loma had never seen before, not executed at this level. but i give him the edge vs taylor, who wouldnt pose the same problems. he would bring his own problems, but i feel loma would deal better with those. now the problems teo brought to loma, taylor can deal with. i see this one as 50/50, as they are both at a stage where they can show noticeable improvement from fight to fight. they are getting a crash course in top level fighting, against top level teams. its a new ballgame for all 3.

    The way I see it Loma is the smallest and least physically gifted, but the most experienced and highest pedigree. Lopez the biggest genetic freak of the 3. And Taylor somewhere between the two fighters. Lopez has the highest ceiling potential.

    Yeah, he is honorable with big achievement for a pro fighter: he did not made weight vs Loma in limits and when had been given time to attempt make weight he instead of this started to rehydrate asap.
    Dude looks that was 147 lbs? in the ring vs Loma while fight had been intended at 126 lbs weight in limit.
