    Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez Jr at 140...

    That is if Teo is sincere in making the move to the next division.

    Not a fight that is hard to make. Both are promoted by Arum.
    There is bad blood between the two.

      Taylor by mid round stoppage, I don't know if Teo has the firepower to keep Taylor off of him, and Taylor is definitely the superior counter puncher.

          This is the money fight he should angle for. Its a 50 50 fight .

          kambosos beat him Soundly and he will make lopez go to australia on short money .

          imo these guys are tired of each other after that long horrible promotion. it would be a mistake to go to australia for lopez on short money spending almost 2 years on 1 fighter who may have your number.

          call out tank , call out haney and shoot for taylor

          kambosos should give haney a shot in australia

            I think Teo should face Zepeda first, to see how he looks @140 first.

              Curious to see how the negotiations would work out this time.
              Arum could be thinking, "You can't bully me this time.
              You lost to a guy named Kambosos, you clown."

              I'm not even sure if the Lopez father and son team would go straight to this fight.

                Zepeda deserves his shot at Taylor.

                Teo needs to rebuild, maybe get a few fights at 140 with a new trainer/co trainer and then make a run at the belts. He’s young and very talented, just needs to fine tune the technical side with an experienced coach. He doesn’t deserve a shot after losing badly at 135 and plus it would be career suicide if he went right at Taylor.

                  Not going write off Teofimo just yet...
                  The way he deals with this "L" once it sinks in 100% & what comes next will be interesting to see.

                  Obviously 140lbs has to be next.
                  But yeah, Arum's mega fight has been derailed to say the least.

                  Would/Will the BOBfather try & convince Lil' Loma swim @140lbs?? (Should he win his next fight)

                    Doesn't Taylor need to face Caterall next? He'll probably move up afterwards. I want Prograis vs. Matias and Zepeda vs. Teofimo.
