Anyone? Keith Thurman nearly got stopped by Lopez and lost to a 40 year old Pac. Danny Garcia has beaten nobody of note at 147. Thurman and Spence struggled tremendously with Porter, who has the height and reach of a jr welterweight. Porter lost to Brook, Thurman and now Spence, and had a close bout with Ugas. Crawford's considered the best boxer in the world to many, and he got stunned by Gamboa at 135. I'm not saying that Prograis, Taylor or Ramirez could move up and destroy everyone, but I think it's fair to say they could put up a good fight, at least. Saying that they'd be eaten alive is pretty harsh, and we won't know for sure, unless they move up.
Lomachenko got dropped by Linares, and stunned by Campbell multiple times. His skills and footwork would give anyone issues at 140, but what would happen if Prograis, Ramirez or Taylor landed the kinds of shots Linares and Campbell did? Loma does stand a chance against them, but the size and power differences could be too much for him. I mean, the guy's already small at 135.
