Prime Josh Taylor vs Richardson Hitchins, Teofimo Lopez

Taylor losses to both

 

Yep Hitchins was scared to engage with Paro at close range he would be terrified of Taylor who would stay on his chest.

 

If Teo is on, I like him by decision.

Taylor's not much of a mover and likes to trade, sometimes to his detriment, and those attributes would make him more vulnerable to Teo's quick twitch counterpunching. I think the best version of Teo could beat Taylor to the punch in most exchanges. Taylor would certainly have his moments, but I think if a Prograis can run him close, apex Teo can outbox him and get.the nod on the cards.

A distracted Teo, however, might get that work from a prime, hungry Taylor.

Alternatively, I think peak Taylor beats Hitchins. He’s just a better fighter who's beaten better fighters.

 

Taylor definitely looks like he lost a step. He was better when he was early in his career vs. Ohara Davies.

Not seen Hutchins yet but I’d still edge Teofimo. I thought he drew with Janaine Ortiz and lost to Sanford Martin, Kambosis but his best wins edge over Taylor’s.

I’d say Taylor looked like he let it go to his head.
