    It's cause he's so advanced and dominant and not even 21 yet. I highly doubt he'll reach them in slams. His style is like a young Tyson - very dependent on speed, power, and explosiveness. Meaning he could burn out by 30.

    Nah that was Matt and David.

    They fell asleep in their car and were busted.

    Absolute dullards.

    AMEN! :emoji_pray:

    The Most ANY Fighter Can Do is TRY to Be the Absolute Best of HIS Particular Era, No More, No Less...How He'd Do 15, 30, 50 Years Ago is of NOfuckingCONSEQUENCE or Relevance, Whatsoever:Dont:...

    When Benavidez & Plant Fought, THE LAST Thought on REED's Mind Was How They'd Fare vs. Calzaghe, Toney, Ward or RJ...When Tank/Ryan, Dev/Loma Squared Off THE LAST Thought on REED's Mind Was How They'd Fare vs Duran, Whittaker or Armstrong...

    Taylor vs Teo will Be a VERY Fan Friendly Fight & REED Will Enjoy it as Such...The Idea of DIMINISHING It By Pontificating Upon the Winner vs. Tszyu, Zab, Pryor, Cervantes, Hatton or Whomever Else Doesn't Register w/REED...At All...

    Sure, Once the FULL Body of Josh Taylor's 140 Pound Work Has Been Completed, Throw His Ass in the Mythical Matchup Ring...But Teofimo is JUST Participating in his 3rd Bout @ the Weight...It's Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Tooooooooooooo EARLY to State Anything Unequivocally, in Either Direction...

    Clearly, the Usual Suspects Have a BIAS for Fighters in Closer Proximity to Black & White Era Footage & It Makes You Wonder WHY They Waste Time w/Boxing if they LEGITIMATELY Feel Fighters are Getting WORSE as Each Era Passes...Personally, if REED Felt a Sport was DEPRECIATING, He Wouldn't Trifle w/It, But Whaetver...

    REED Doesn't See the Point Either, But to Each His Own...

    None of those guys had the NFL equivalent of a beating by Kambosos in the meantime though.

    Ain't no Kambosos on Pat Mahomes ledger (yet)

    RECENCY Bias Crowd vs. the "Good Ol' Days" Crowd...And Fans Like REED are Stuck in the Fucking MIDDLE of Both Extremes:rolleye:...

    Tyson Fury is THE Best Heavyweight of HIS Era and Whether He Beats or LOSES in 30 Seconds to the Likes of Lennox, Tyson, Liston, Foreman, etc., DOES NOT Alter That...In Fact, When Fury Was Whipping Wilder's Ass Twice, Lennox/Tyson/Liston/Foreman NEVER Once Occured to REED...

    I'm just saying its inevitable. If Lopez wins, i guarantee i can pull up 5 mainstream reports that mention his name with the ATGs in about a week after the fight.

    It won't make any difference to me after the fight, before the fight, during the fight etc but once the fight is done, the wheels will start turning in the usual places.

    It didnt occur to me either.

    Didn't stop the biggest Sports channel in the United Kingdom from asking him anyways...

    ... I'm just saying it happens and it's a major part of how the sport is reported on.

    The Bozos loss will hurt forever. It ain't no Douglas or Honeyghan upset, where you can at least say Douglas and Honeyghan were very talented fighters when they were "on."

    Bozos has zero ability.

    True...

    Teofimo has ALREADY Garnered Many Comparisons to Duran Based SOLELY On the Fact He's Latino and Has an Elite Level Jump Rope Routine...

    Most dangerous shot to look out for both guys:

    For Taylor: Teo's right uppercut. Josh is vulnerable to this shot.

    For Fimo: Taylor's right hook. Teo seems vulnerable to the southpaw right hook.

    I still laugh my ass off at Fimo for losing to Kambosos. That’s just humiliating. Worse than Forrest losing to Mayorga.

    If this is another Haney vs Loma I'll follow womens MMA.... I can't take another homeowner getting the fucking breaks again. I'd much rather Lopez just battered Taylor or whitewashed him. No more "oh hard luck wrong side of the majority decision chump"

    Who is the ref/judges?

    I think Lopez is the true puncher in this fight. Taylor seems flaccid at the weight.

    A lot worse. Mayorga gave Vargas, Mosley, Tito good fights. The only thing Kamboso gives a hard fight is the predictive text on my phone.

    The boxing fan in me hates seeing fighters get fucked, no matter if it's a favorite of mine or not.

    I'm rooting for Josh, but put it this way, I'd rather see Taylor get KO'd than see Taylor win a narrow decision.

    I want a fucking STOPPAGE on Saturday! Do I think we'll get one? I'm leaning decision, but I think a stoppage either way is VERY POSSIBLE. Far more possible than it was for Haney-Loma.

    Both guys can punch, and neither one is Miguel Canto when it comes to defense or Juan Laporte when it comes to chin. So we could very well see a KO.

    I think they're going to try and stop each other. Lopez wants it, Taylor will feel he needs it unless he scores a couple knockdowns. I think the circumstances are tending towards a stoppage right now.

    I think Josh is gonna really struggle with Teo's handspeed - early at least.

    Will he adjust to it? That's the question. He adjusted to both Regis and Ramirez, so possibly.

    It Really Was an INfuckingEXCUSABLE Loss, Especially Considering How EFFORTLESSLLY Haney Dispatched of Kambosos in His Own Back Yard (2wice) Afterwards...

    Kambosos is Just a GUY in the Scheme of Things, Yet He Dropped and Busted Up 'Fimo, Even Had Him Resorting to the LAMEST Set of Excuses This Side of Deontay Wilder...

    Teo is a dumb fighter...how he beat Loma I will never understand. Then he goes and get punk by Kambosos...see DUMB fighter..

    He doesn't put his hands together everything in a power shot either the right hand or the left hook.

    If Taylor can block/parry Teo's attack and keep that jab and check hook in Teo face it's going to be a long night for the "youngest hall of famer of all time'..

    I almost wanna change my pick. Almost. But as a general rule, I don't change picks this late in the game. So I'll stick with Lopez. All I'll say is...that this isn't like Davis-Garcia, where I was positive Davis was gonna win.

    I really have no fucking clue who's gonna win on Saturday, and that feeling thrills me.

    This is like the co-main event pick em big fight, leading up to the pick em superfight next month.

    This is a must win for Teo, IMO. If he loses, that’s the end of him. Taylor would bounce back better from a loss.

    I think this could be a fight of the year candidate. I think the styles will make for an action packed fight. Possible stoppage but I’m thinking it goes the distance.

    If Teo loses, he can still do something. His bum ass buddy Rolly has a belt. Teo would blast both Rolly and Ryan.

    However, greatness is totally out of the question if Teo loses on Sat.

    Id be very surprised if teo wins this. Taylor is not all that, but teo skills are too poor to pull this out imo
