Mario Barrios and Jose Zepeda beat both of these guys.

Ahhh fair play then. Didn't realize the UK was still hemmed up til September-ish.

Guess Vegas makes the most sense then.

Don’t get me wrong, if everything was back to normal he would sell out the o2 in England but that’s about it. In Scotland though it’s a different story.

however he doesn’t have the support of someone like Ricky Hatton so even if travel bans are lifted there won’t be many go over the Vegas

Yea idk about that. I dig Zepeda & I think he'd be a live dog vs both, but Barrios seems waaaaay overhyped out of the blue to me & I don't see much of a path to victory vs either guy. Probably 80/20 fight, maybe 70/30 if I'm underrating Barrios off of all the hype.

I agree with this 100%. Taylor and Ramirez are aggressive but both very basic. I don't consider this a big fight at all beyond the hardcores, especially the belts fans. Screw the belts.

Once in awhile we get thrown a bone,2 prime,elite fighters fighting at their peak. We had Loma/ Teo,Valdez/Berchelt,Ryan/Luke and now this matchup. Hopefully once we turn the corner on this whole pandemic and start allowing fans in attendance,we can get more match ups like this,specifically Joshua vs Fury.. Hopefully Vegas allows fans as its only a few hrs drive for myself.

No one is at their peak when they've only had one round of action in 19 months. Never has a unified fight for undisputed been fought like this by anyone. Why do you think Ramirez hasn't desperately tried to get out of this fight by claiming he wants more money or something like Americans do when their opponent is fully prepared and ready to go? Don't you find that strange?

Of course he had no problem signing this fight. Americans never fight unless there is something like this going on with the opponent. They always have a loaded table and stack the deck. They point blank refuse to fight unless they have it.

Put your money on Ramirez. Arum also wants Lopez/Ramirez as both as undisputed. He's already ripped Loma off. Taylor won't stand in his way should he win after going the full 12 rounds. The only way Taylor wins is if he stops Ramirez. But i don't think Arums plan will come into play. Taylor will gas through being this inactive and Ramirez will take advantage of it. I'm going with a left hook to the body. Taylor will not be allowed to win one way or another. There is too much against him.

Ramirez's windmills will be no match for Triple T's superior fighting skills. All four belts are coming back to Edinburgh.

Barrios has already been beaten by a fighter not on Taylor's level but got the robbery. A peak Taylor who hasn't just had 1 round of action in 19 months beats the shlt out of Ramirez, Zepeda and Barrios. But that all changes with Taylor in his current state. Why else do you think Ramirez didn't try to get out of this fight like Americans do when their opponent is at their best? Cowards only fight with a loaded table. Ramirez feels brave considering Taylor's position. Never in history has an undefeated champion gone into a unification for undisputed with only 1 round in 19 months. Never. That's why Ramirez took this fight. It would never have happened otherwise.

How many fighters in history can you name that was a champion going into unification with only 1 round of action in 19 months? Ramirez wouldn't have taken this fight otherwise. Had Taylor been active, we would have had stories of Ramirez not happy with the "Money" so can't fight. But here we are without a peep and a signed contract. Very un-American.

One way or another, Taylor will not be allowed to win this fight. Book it.

Lol damn your already making excuses as to why Taylor might lose sounds good you forget Ramirez had the fight with Postol fall through several times before it actually happened so that was multiple training camps in a row for nothing. They both took hits stop making excuses the fight is made and Taylor seems confident could be the alcohol talking who knows I rate him well the fight is 50-50 but Taylor seems to like the fast lifestyle and I think that will be his downfall he chose to fight that Thai fighter there's a reason he doesn't have rounds nobodies fault but his.

Excuses are like a holes, we all got 1
