Where Do You Rate Zepeda

[Santa_]

He’s better than Pitbull Cruz, Frank Martin, and Kambosos.

Yup and I scored Tank-Pitbull 7-5 for Tank. How do you think Tank vs Zepeda would go?

Because he beat Gesta, he’s as good as Loma, Tank, Stevenson and Haney???? Really??????

Just eye test right now obviously but I think he's the goods. He's 25 years old and entering his prime. Now's the time to see what he's got.

If his chin holds up, he will be a problem for anyone.

How do you rate Zepeda after that dominant win, best he's looked imo, do you think he could challenge Tank, Shakur, Loma or is he clearly below the top guys at 135 ?

Zepeda is too much of a live dog for Crank to take a risk on.

[Brother Mouzone]

He is not above the top tier guys Haney, Shakur, Tank, Loma............But his output and non-stop pressure can cause an upset against any of those guys .

I’d take Tank right now.

[just the facts]

Beast! Top 3 now that Haney's up at 140 imo.

So who’s he ahead of Loma, Stevenson or Tank? None of them, he ain’t top 3.

[just the facts]

Fighters fight fights not resume, what I've seen shows enough promise to hang with the top of the division. He might win some and lose some but we don't know until they exchange punches.

Stylistically some of the guys will be tough for Zepeda (Stevenson and Tank) others I think play move into his favor (Haney). Hard to say about Loma. He's a small fight pass his best and sometimes the hunger, size, and determination of a young fighter is enough to overcome a older fights skill and craftiness.

Time will tell in the end.

Shouldn’t he have to beat at least one quality opponent before he keeps company with those fighters?

Off of that performance I think he gives Shakur, who I think is the best talent at 135 & arguably the most unbeatable looking guy in boxing today, the biggest challenge outside of Tank. I have seen him look a lil less than great so I think the opp always has SOMETHING to do with the performance, but that version of Zepeda last night gives anyone a hell of a fight.

As far as ranking the division I'd go:

1)Devin, still #1 & gots ALMOST all the belts so til he makes a firm dec on 135 or 140 he's #1
2)Tank, gots more high level exp at 135 despite it feeling like he's not lived up to his potential
3)Shakur, looks the most talented by a lot, but needs to get some W's on paper to be higher than 3rd rn for me
4)Zepeda, the drop off from 3rd to 4th feels bigger than it looks, but Zepeda looks like the biggest problem outside of the guys who are confirmed problems
5)Loma, getting old, but he was right there with Devin & gave him a fight & looked stellar vs some lesser guys before the L

Haha c'mon man Loma's an ancient fossil. He's done at the top. Haney's moving up to 140. Stevenson and Tank are the top dogs at 135. I don't see anybody else at that weight beating Zepeda.

Top 3 baby
