For thinking he can bang with Tank
We the fans won.
I don't understand what you mean, "that's what he gets..."
So he should've fought like a bitch like Mikey and lose on the cards, right?
he avoided rigondeaux too. maybe he can man up now and give carl frampton a rematch.
I know the guys entire career was mostly cab drivers. He's been a champion for a long time and seemingly never fights the best. Leo was obligated to step up or just retire imo
You’re right but egos are involved. I see Floyd delaying negotiations until they build Tank up to where he’s as close to the A-side as he can be. The key is whoever beats Ryan Garcia will have the edge IMO. If I were Teo that would be my number one priority because we know Ryan and Tank want to fight each other. If Teo can take Ryan out of the equation it would be one hell of a chess move.
Yea, it sure would. I guess it all depends on how long he can stay at 135.
I can’t disagree with any of that, but if there’s one guy who deserves more, it’s Lopez. If tank was some canelo level ppv star, then he’d have more clout in negotiations, but he’s not. Timing will probably kill this fight anyway.

He’s the champ and has the biggest machine behind him. But honestly I don’t see it happening while Bob Arum breathes air. Arum just burned Haymon with the Wilder rematch. Also both guys want to get paid. I can’t see either side settling for anything less than a 50/50 split.
Remember Teo just took less money to get the Loma fight and I can’t see him doing that again. And he’s the champ now. Tank is also popular and has a great team behind him. I can’t see how both sides come to an agreement.

You said it’s on teo to make the fight with tank.

Lol u big mad
if you know boxing, it was expected, and nobody is surprised or mad or even impressed.
Tank got this fight b/c he didnt look great against Gamboa
I will say this, tank has drawing power, and he doesnt have to challenge himself until real big money comes his way.
Loma problem was the size/ power.
I doubt Davis would be so hesitant since he has just as much power
Loma also had trouble with the quickness and footwork.
he avoided rigondeaux too. maybe he can man up now and give carl frampton a rematch.
Doubt it, he’ll look for big money fights from now on, Santa Cruz is gonna become another Mikey with this big loss!
Tou do realize tank looked like complete garbage until the inevitable ko right.
Dude is a ko waiting to happe when he’s faced a legit guys his size. This was a display show for Tank and we all know that.
Teo is the only champ and Lw and thats universal no debate so letthat hate flow in. Lol
Tank is a fat garbage cherry picker Teo fucccks his world up that’s why his pimp Floyd will never let him fight him.
Everyone with a brain knows this was a showcase introduction for Tank’s PPV debut!
Leo is a natural featherweight or below, 130 is too much an ask for him but it was ok cuz it served a purpose for Tank to gain a boost and Leo to get a big check!
Now as far as Teofimo, he’s definitely not the “only”
Legit champ, we all know the shenanigans pulled by Top Rank and Team Loma with that franchise bullshît they asked for from the We Be Corrupt!
Haney is still the reigning champion of the We Be Corrupt until Teofimo fights and beats Haney which won’t happen cuz Bob don’t want that fight!
Haney will continue to be the boogeyman of 135 as Lopez will look to either fight small old man injured Loma again or try to fight KO waiting to happen Ryan Garcia!
Lopez don’t want smoke with Haney and you know it, Tank is a good fighter but him fighting Cruz is arguably just as bad as Haney fighting Gamboa!
How do you duck a groundhog???
By cashing out against a more deadlier fighter cuz it paid less to take a sustained àśśwhooping especially in your own division!
It was clear that his punches weren’t bothering tank at all. I guess that happens when a lightweight faces a featherweight.
Santa Cruz is no dam Featherweight he’s a lanky fighter who always said he can go up to 140 and win titles so let’s not say he was a featherweight.
He just never can punch even when he had physical advantages when he was at 118 and 122, once he got to 126 he punched like 5 year old
At the point the ko happened, tank was walking him down with no respect for what was coming back. Do you see him walking down a bigger stronger lightweight who can punch? If Lomachenko had trouble getting to good punching positions vs Lopez, do you think tank is going to fare a lot better?
Loma problem was the size/ power.
I doubt Davis would be so hesitant since he has just as much power
You got a guy who’s beat nobody in the division claiming to be the top dog and being promoted as a “ppv star”. Then you have a guy who won a title and then unified with the best and actually is the top dog. Used to be that’s the guy fighters were gunning for, he didn’t have to go begging for fights.
Okay so what’s your point?
Teo’s got the best promoter in boxing and the biggest sports network in the country behind him. The pressure should be on them to make the fight not the other way around.

Well that’s one fight I’m pretty sure we won’t be seeing. Tank’s people will be happy to see Lopez vacate and move to 140.
