Would you really pick Teofimo to be able to beat the Taylor-Ramirez winner?

I don't see him beating Taylor, Ramirez more than likely

Straight out the gate, first fight at 140 lbs? Lomachenko is a great win but would Loma beat Postol or Prograis? How about Baranchyk? I don't think so.

Not saying Lopez won't or can't be a champion at 140 because I have little doubts he will be.

Loma is not a physically strong fighter he cant go up in weight like Teo can, they have very different body types and style, going up to 140 will be ok for Teo I think he can beat Taylor or Ramirez .

Ive never put much stock in Prograis I doubt he can beat the top guys.

I think JCR is a easier fight than Taylor.

Asking for anyone to jump up a division & beat the #1 guy is a big ask historically doe cuz I'd assume more guys have lost than won doing it.

That said I'd probably be betting on Teofimo to do it vs either if he does do it & it'd be a bigger amount if JCR becomes the #1 guy at 140.

The thing is Taylor and Ramirez are not special fighters just your average good fighter world champion, they generally dont hold belts for very long.

Going up fighting a Crawford or Spence level guy is way different.

I think it's early to be calling Teo, JCR or Josh special but the JCR vs Josh winner will for sure be the #1 guy at 140. And it's an impressive thing to jump up a division & beat the #1 guy, special or not, cuz it's not what typically happens in ones first fight in a new division. Most guys fight a bs guy, a top ten guy or the non-#1 title holder in the division in their first fight.

A far cry from fighting a small lightweight,as skilled as loma is,to fighting big/long/tall skilled jr welters like taylor and ramirez. Zepeda and prograis are closer in stature to Teo but even then I'd still favor them over Teo,zepeda looked like a beast sitting on his punches against an extremely rugged/strong baranchyk....all great fight regardless the outcome,hope we get to see them.

These are my thoughts. I doubt he even beats Zepeda.

I think Taylor stops Lopez. Dude is big for 140, has fast hands and fast feet, and tough as nails. I'm certain Lopez doesn't hit harder than Prograis and it will show once he moves up and fight the elite of 140.
