Don't worry, there's still people who buy into Tank's fake resume and think these are good opponents for him.
Crazy how De Los Santos is under the same promotion and is at 135, yet Stank's team never wants to send a contract
Don’t see the connection besides one being from the Philippines and ???
That's the joke that it would be funny if it was build up in that way because of the minor connections they do have. Magsayo hired Freddie in the past to be like Pacman, and Tank always been hyped up as the dude brought up by Floyd.
Prior to the Garcia fight I said Haney would get the W on Teo. But now I'm not so sure. It ain't gonna matter how much Devin tries to outbox Teo, once he gets caught on that chinny chin, them legs gone. Ryan was popping him with counters all night, and although Teo don't have the same power and speed of Ryan, I think he's still a better counterpuncher than Garcia
Teo just gave his thoughts on Haney's loss, still gives him his props. But let's not forget when Teo lost the Haneys celebrated like they won themselves. NO CLASS at all

Haney would rehydrate to super middleweight on fight night and bully Lopez.
I still think Teo gonna be too strong for him. Josh was like 165 during that fight
While I appreciate skilled boxing, I tend to prefer maulers. For fights, I like where there is genuine bad blood or some regional rivalry. Barrios/Freitas was Brazil vs Argentina, Oullette vs Hilton was a Canadian showdown, Oscar and Feroz was bad blood and Gatti/Ward were just pure violence.
Chavez vs Rosario was also another good one. Tho it was more of a one sided beatdown

Slow start compared to 2023, but May throughout August is quite stacked.
Then there is also the end of the year from September to December, who knows what will happen.
Teo v Matias definitely needs to happen, I got a feeling the clash of styles will be one of the best. And it seems possible too, both have fights lined up in June and after that they gonna be the only 140 champs available. Pitbull got a fight at August and Dev out for 6 months.
I like all the fights listed, also personally, I also like:
Raymond Muratalla vs William Zepeda, a fight between a well schooled Counter puncher vs pressure fighter with solid skills and a high punch output. Something similar to Crawford vs Spence in terms of styles.

Also Vasily Lomachenko vs Gervonta Davis, A fight that should had happened years ago along with Mikey Garcia vs Loma or Davis.
That's also a really good one. But I would love for Kambosos to fight Zepeda too. If he didn't rob Maxi Hughes he would have fought William instead
Looks like William Zepeda is considering it, either Muratalla or Giovanni Cabrera who had fought Pitbull.

2024 looking to be another good year
You guys overrate Kambosos too much off a 100% certified fluke win over a Teo who was not 100% physically. Dude just got his ass beat by euro level maxi.
Kambo is a bum Gatti annihilates him.
Definitely was a fluke.
Those are all good picks. Could also do:
Subriel vs Devin.
Pitbull vs Teofimo
The winners fight for undisputed.
Yeh Teo vs Pitbull will be fireworks. But Subriel might bury Devin after he applies that pressure
I think Teo and Duran are on point. Both are Latino, both lost at 135 (Kambozo/De Jesus) but still came back with career-high victories. In fact, the Taylor fight is like a modern recreation of Duran vs Ken Buchanan. Ken who was one of the only Scotsmen who fought in MGM. And Duran had his way with him lol. Only thing Teo needs now is that Crawford fight and boom we get the true modern Duran v Leonard. (dunno if he'll win though lol)

“I think that Teofimo Lopez is the closet that we’ve come in the last 30-35 years to Roberto Duran. He has that meanness, he has that bravado, he has that skill but he still has a lot to learn and a long way to go to be compared to Roberto Duran. But he’s as close as we’ve seen in a long, long time.” - Abel Sanchez
Devin Haney can't do the backflip! - Southpaw TV

I don't care about resumes, Lopez is the best of the four. After the kambosa fight I thought his medical excuse was just an excuse but watching the fights where he's healthy you can see his skills sets him apart from the rest.
Tank is also a good fighter with a shiety resume. He'd beat Haney worse than ryan did.
Who you got if Teo fights Tank at 140
Lineal meaning "beat the man who beat the man"?
Davis beat Garcia who beat Haney who beat Kambosos who beat Lopez lol. It's an interesting topic.
Teo did it twice tho. That Taylor win sets him apart
