I’d like to see Lopez first vs a Lippinets or Pedraza before Ramirez, Taylor or Prograis.
Lipinets vs Lopez would be a war..Lipinets is tough man who loves to exchange
Teófimo managed to somehow win vs a small, fat lightweight in Loma...
... Taylor won vs far bigger and stronger opponents...
.. Prograis dispatches Teófimo even tomorrow...
Taylor is also a Top Tank fighter remember.
Both Ramirez and Taylor are now managed by MTK too.
MTK and Top Rank have already negotiated the step aside fee to avoid a mandatory and let that unification happen.
The fight is as good as signed, minus a date and location.
Ok ty for info 👍
Let’s see first if Lopez brings up his power to 140.
I actually think Ramirez-Lopez fight is more likely to happen than Ramirez-Taylor. Same stable, easy to gamble - the Top Rank way

Who knows. I think if Taylor beats Ramirez he's moving up to fight Crawford. If they go straight into it I'd have to go with Taylor.
I highly doubt that. I think Arum will mandate that winner to face Lopez. Crawford might land a fight with Porter and Arum’s probably hoping to make Lopez vs Crawford. You can’t sell a Crawford vs Taylor fight, but you can certainly sell a Lopez vs Crawford fight.
Lopez wins. He's bigger than some of you still mistake him to be - Taylor will not be the bigger man in the ring, nor the stronger, faster or harder puncher. Taylor will have the slightly better stamina but only bc Teo sits down on so many of his shots. It'll be an interesting fight in the later rounds.
