Liverpool’s search for a new winger has become the biggest story of their summer, with PSG sensation Bradley Barcola their dream target for Andoni Iraola. Mohamed Salah’s move to Trabzonspor left a hole that could never be filled by one player.

Following Zepeda’s unanimous decision victory over Lamont Roach, Bradley ranked the WBC champion No. 1 at 135 pounds ahead of every other active contender. Gervonta Davis was left out of Bradley’s rankings because of his inactivity, while Shakur Stevenson no longer qualified after moving to 140 pounds. That leaves Zepeda at No. 1, followed by Abdullah Mason, Andy Cruz and Sam Noakes. “I feel like Zepeda is the number one guy right now at 135 pounds. You take Tank off…
