    You’re right, Josh Taylor’s days at 140 are numbered.

    I like those fights but Zepeda would be too much right now for Teo. I think he needs a few fights at 140 against decent opposition before taking on the big dogs.

      Get a new trainer, get a fight or two under his belt at 140, then issue a challenge.

      Taylor would ruin him at this point.

        Taylor is on record saying he makes the weight easy. Crawford is going nowhere so if I were Taylor, I would be moping up the aspiring 135lbers moving up for a couple of years whilst dealing with mandatories.

          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)
          Taylor v Loma

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

            sample clips:




            he did not eat the whole Kambosos menu but he surely ate his fists, LOL.

              Why should Josh give him a pay day?

              Let Lopez beat somebody top 10 at 140 first.

                I've heard Taylor say he can stay his whole career at 140, but I don't completely believe him. We will see how his story unfolds. Now that Crawford is a free agent, I no longer see Taylor/Crawford as a realistic option.

                  I don't think this is too exciting. Josh Taylor puts a serious beating on him.

                    Taylor stops him.

                      Teofimo Lopez beats him. He wont be weight drained at 140 and will be more explosive. Taylor is there to be hit.
