Would you really pick Teofimo to be able to beat the Taylor-Ramirez winner?

I think Taylor stops Lopez. Dude is big for 140, has fast hands and fast feet, and tough as nails. I'm certain Lopez doesn't hit harder than Prograis and it will show once he moves up and fight the elite of 140.

A far cry from fighting a small lightweight,as skilled as loma is,to fighting big/long/tall skilled jr welters like taylor and ramirez. Zepeda and prograis are closer in stature to Teo but even then I'd still favor them over Teo,zepeda looked like a beast sitting on his punches against an extremely rugged/strong baranchyk....all great fight regardless the outcome,hope we get to see them. These are my thoughts. I doubt he even beats Zepeda.

I think JCR is a easier fight than Taylor. Asking for anyone to jump up a division & beat the #1 guy is a big ask historically doe cuz I'd assume more guys have lost than won doing it. That said I'd probably be betting on Teofimo to do it vs either if he does do it & it'd be a bigger amount if JCR becomes the #1 guy at 140. The thing is Taylor and Ramirez are not special fighters just your average good fighter world champion, they generally dont hold belts for very long. Going up fighting a Crawford or Spence level guy is way different.

Straight out the gate, first fight at 140 lbs? Lomachenko is a great win but would Loma beat Postol or Prograis? How about Baranchyk? I don't think so. Not saying Lopez won't or can't be a champion at 140 because I have little doubts he will be. Loma is not a physically strong fighter he cant go up in weight like Teo can, they have very different body types and style, going up to 140 will be ok for Teo I think he can beat Taylor or Ramirez . Ive never put much stock in Prograis I doubt he can beat the top guys.

I don't see him beating Taylor, Ramirez more than likely

:no: :no: ...

:no1::no1:

Lopez's defense needs work, he looked uncomfortable getting hit. I think he has the ability to take big shots. But I'm not so certain he can beat Haney, Tank and Ryan. Stylistically he'd match up best with Tank cause of his size. Ramirez and Taylor are both beatable by Lopez also. His pot shot style, catch and shoot, movement will give them trouble. Ramirez and Taylor both like to get on the inside neither really boxes on the back foot.

He could beat Ramirez with his jab and fast counters, but Taylor's all round game and size would be too much. Completely agree with this...

Straight away first fight at 140 I'd favour Taylor I think. I know them triangles are bullchit but I never thought Loma would fare well against the guys at 140 and it ain't like Teo's performance over Loma was particularly dominant as such. Taylor has the skills and the length and will probably be at least as heavy on the night as Teo... I reckon a Taylor Decision is most likely. Ramirez? Tougher call, Teos more skilled but I reckon Jose will pressure him in a way that Loma was unable to, and I doubt Ramirez will be as easy to push off. Gun to head I'd say Teo should be able to outbox Ramirez to a solid Decision but I noted he really didn't seem to like it when Loma was getting in close. Jose won't make it comfortable I think.

Lopez will have the Canelo, Toney effect. Fighters will slow down their output because of his defense, counterpunching ability and power.

:lol1: You talking about yourself first person there Dunn? But yeah, mixed feelings on Teo right now, but 100% I respect US fighters who are willing to cross the water to fight a Champion in their backyard. Spence made me a fan that way, so did Mo Hooker... I was already a fan of Regis but his demeanor and behaviour over here made me even more so. Fact I ended up more a fan of Regis than Taylor even though Josh rightly earned the win IMO. Teo comes here to fight Josh it's maximum respect, and I already got a lotta time for him even if I think the young man is a bit of an asshat. Yeah just for effect. Lol. But man that would be a great atmosphere. I think Teo is looking at ways to increase his purses as quickly as possible. A Taylor fight in England ( large hot crowd, ppv in America) for 4 belts should up his purse significantly and brings in new fans. If Ramirez wins then Lopez gets the home crowd in MSG but I don’t think that fight is a ppv.

The Big Dunn would love to see Teo go to England and do to Taylor what Hagler did to Minter. :lol1: You talking about yourself third person there Dunn?

I think Ramirez is tailor made for Lopez, Taylor on the other hand is another story, his skills and length would make it a much more difficult fight, see that one as a 50/50 or slightly lean to Taylor.

I'd favor him over ramirez. I like ramirez, seen him fight live 3 times now but I dont see him having anything for teofimo unless he flat out puts him on his ass. Lopez looks faster more athletic explosive and will probably carry decent pop to 140 since he wont have to drain anymore

I'm pretty sure it's Taylor who wins that one The Big Dunn would love to see Teo go to England and do to Taylor what Hagler did to Minter.

If it’s Taylor, not sure yet. I'm pretty sure it's Taylor who wins that one

Straight out the gate, first fight at 140 lbs? Lomachenko is a great win but would Loma beat Postol or Prograis? How about Baranchyk? I don't think so. Not saying Lopez won't or can't be a champion at 140 because I have little doubts he will be. If it’s Taylor, not sure yet. If it’s Ramirez, yes. I firmly believe Zepeda beat Ramirez and I think Teo will outbox him in similar fashion.

Ramirez is a gritty, rugged fighter but the gap in skills/ talent will be deciding factor and I believe Lopez takes it. Taylor would be a much tougher fight I came away really impressed with his fight with Prograis. Perhaps I'm being influenced by a recency bias but I think Lopez could pull this one off if he uses his legs and box. He has the edge in power but I am troubled that Loma was able to get inside more regularly and easier as Teo fatigued. He's going to have to learn to keep his hands up when boxers are on the inside on him at 140 and above as well.
