First, Teofimo did not school Loma. He was gifted with a unanimous win by the judges, as far as I'm concerned. Not saying that he didn't win, but I had it a draw and could see a scenario where Loma won.
I feel no other boxer has neutralized Vasily like the way Teofimo done, that is why I considered this a 'schooling'.
Second, this is the other point. Taylor does not stand to win the lightweight titles because he would be fighting above the lightweight limit. Teofimo could potentially capture Josh's titles, however. And that's why it's a ***** ass move.
It's a good option, if it were available. As it stands, it's extremely premature, especially when Taylor has his sights on a bigger challenge for his legacy, which is Crawford. And because no one is lining up to fight Crawford, and those that are will be outside of the TopRank umbrella, Taylor is Crawford's only real option. That's it. Teofimo has other options, and his best option is Lomachenko.
