99.9% chance of happening...

Taylor to N'Dam

K9 to Jermall Charlo or Vanes Marirosyan

Haters ...

Almost everyone here though they would lose bad, and now instead of giving these guys credit, you make a topic predicting their future failures.

I don't think Taylor is worse than Quillin. In fact, I think Taylor can beat Quillin. N'dam could beat Taylor, but it would be done while running and stinking the fight away.

K-9 ... I don't care who he loses to. Thanks for rescuing us from another Molina hug-fest. K-9 VS Kirkland!

So true. It doesn't take some people to jump off someone's bandwagon after they lose. Suddenly, they are crap fighters.

While saying there is a 99.9 chance they'll each lose their first defense is harsh I don't see much hating and this thread was started by one person, not the forum as a whole. I don't see why thinking that two title holders are particularly weak and will each lose their first defense must be 'hating' rather than an impartial assessment of how good the fighters are and their places in their division's landscape, which includes who their first challengers are likely to be.

It obviously depends on who they face, but it seems like there's a good chance N'dam, Quillin, or Jacobs will be next for Taylor and I'd favor each of them over him to varying degrees. I'm not sure who is in K9's title picture and he can be a hot/cold type, but I think he'd have a realistic chance of beating fighters like Smith, Vanes, or Trout, the latter being past his best in my view.

Also, I think 'haters' is one of the most overused and annoying words in existence. Those who use it tend to reek of insecurity and sensitivity.

He'll fight Quinnlin I bet. They were already conceding to that possibility on espn.

Taylor has and always will have problems with resilient fighters.......Ndam will have his hands full. Taylor gets killed by GGG. Taylor beats Martinez.

Bundrage loses to the top 10 to 15 fighters. He make meaningless defenses and may even lose those. I could see him fighting Ishe Friggin Smith and Smith getting the title back. for the record Ishe should never have gotten a title fight neverless win a damn title.....awesome match making there.
