The Hearns KO was savage Duran had no business being in that fight.
Tommy totally outclassed Duran in that fight and it wasn't even close. Duran was older and Tommy had all the advantages over him in height, reach and youth.
That right hand that finally stopped Duran was like a gunshot it was so loud when it connected and the way Duran fell forward and face-planted, it was obvious the fight was over.

He did look good and dominated, but beating old Chandler and oldish Gaethje should not get you a title shot.
Paddy is already ranked 8th, Gaethje is currently ranked 3. If he beats Gaethje convincingly, then he’s definitely going to be ranked in the top 5, and that’s really all you need to get a title fight. Not to mention, Max and Dustin are both currently in the top 5, if Dustin beats Max and retires, then both of those guys will drop from the top 5. You’d really only have Arman and Charles ahead of Paddy at that point.

You’re looking at it in a vacuum, what would you rather a run back of some guy that Islam already crushed?

This isn’t true. He said he may retire at 32 or 34 on Rogan just last week
People want Topuria to go back to featherweight and beat Volk again, then take on Diego, Evloev, maybe Yair and Jean Silva and whoever else. All that would take until he's at least 30 by the earliest.
At which point Islam would be 35 and I'd be surprised if he hasn't already retired by then. Khabib recently made fun of Dustin and Justin and others for still fighting at their age, he said they're old school.

The issue is that Topuria doesn't want to cut down to 145 anymore.

Ok baws... take this with a grain of salt:
Ariel Helwani was speculating that Islam may vacate the lightweight belt, and that Topuria and Charles might fight for the lightweight championship at International Fight Week.

Yeah, sounds like it's definitely a fight for the title, just want to see if Islam is going to fight him, or if he's going to vacate to go to 170, which would then be a Topuria vs Charles fight.
