    Taylor needs to consolidate his improvements, maybe twice more before he dives in at the deep end. He looked far more composed against Campos but he needs to nail that kind of display down before you can say he's a legit top 10 140 lb fighter. Maybe if Flanagan wins the wbo strap we could see Taylor vs Turbo.

We also have the European champion and WBC 10, Anthony Yigit for Taylor.

      There is a load of good guys at 140 and loads of fight to be made and belts to be won, I'd say it was red hot as well.
      This'll be Turbo's first fight at 140. Might not be the machine he was at lightweight.

        Looks to be rushing things considering the level of his competition. I say go for it. Hopefully he's willing to go get it too.

          Imam? Should Imam win, that is actually a downgrade from TWO TANKS...

          Imam got knocked around the ring by a journeyman.

          He is a chicken-legged, glass-chinned Somalian looking ass who would get pummeled into oblivion by Taylor within 3 rounds, 5 rounds if abandons offense and he really gets on his bike and pedals with those twigs he calls legs for as long as he can..

            I remember Imam being touted, just like Taylor. He was the young master blazing through the C class, just like Taylor. One loss and all that changed. Now, according to you, he's a bum. Vazquez and Campos are C class competition, I won't say bums, but they fit your description. So far, so good, but Josh is still in the baby side of the pool.

              Fair point with Flanagan. That fight is way down the road though, probably well into 2019. Hopefully a unification in Scotland if it happens.

              It's red hot in terms of a lot of good fighters and match ups to be made. I said it's not red hot as there's not any top level, elite fighters

                Ok thanks for that Skills, I thought it was strange because usually 'Interim' comes when the champion is hurt or something is standing in the way, in this case we dont even have a champ -- yet. Whatever as long as they fight each other.
