Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Taylor's Talking About Moving Up To 147, Which I Figured; They All Scared!

[danceswithfire]

Lopez made himself a hot commodity by beating the PFP #2 king. If he’s having a hard time making weight then his present natural fighting weight could be 140 and above. He’d be an instant fight for Taylor and no way Taylor passes it up. Teo is the real deal.

at 135 he did...lopez is as irrelevant above 135 as mikey was at ww....he needs to prove he belongs in the weightclass first!...

I'm not sure if he's trying to play a character or something but some of the stuff he says makes him sound like a moron. Or at least is just really bad at wording things. His post fight comments after Nakatani and saying that Garcia, Haney and Tank need to prove themselves to earn a fight with him (which is odd when he went straight from his first title shot to Loma) stand out as really odd statements.

Yeah he has awful PR game; he should stop imitating who ever he is and look at past greats, DLH, Pac, Duran etc and act like them. He comes off a bit fake, though I definitely don't doubt his true belief in himself.

I think Taylor - Lopez would be incredible.

Lopez couldn't knock out a small 126 pound fighter who was 20lbs smaller than him on fight night I don't think full welterweights are afraid of him

It would be amazing if Lopez and Taylor fought and the winner fought Crawford. We'd have a three division undisputed champion. Amazing.

Teo phucks Taylor up!

[steeve steel]

Prograis is available.... Taylor has a date with Crawford.

Teo phucks Taylor up!

Maybe. He didn't really phuck up a guy who fought at 118. So at 140, It's a big maybe. Size makes a difference.

This guy is an embarrassment to the Hispanic community. Dumb moron. Talking about he's "cleaned out", 135. Dude has atleast 3 more fights at 135.

[Monty Fisto]

He's just feeling a little jaded that the spotlight is on someone else right now and maybe less than confident about people giving too much of a shlt about his fight against Kambosos.

Everything Lopez says is inverted.
He says he cleaned up his division -- he hasn't, not quite, though Taylor has cleaned up his.
He says he appreciates himself for stepping up to the plate unlike these other fighters. Taylor has faced the best available in his division fight after fight. Teo faced Loma (no mean feat), but that one instance of stepping up to the plate does not exceed Taylor fighting champ after champ after champ.
He says Taylor brings nothing to the table. Taylor's last fight was the most watched fight on ESPN this year. He is a four-belt champ.
He says Taylor is just bringing his belts. What is he on about? Lopez hasn't ever fought at 140lbs, has no firm plans to, and yet all the belts at 140lbs are his?
He says Taylor would rather go up than face him. While also saying he will stay at 135lbs for at least two more fights. Taylor is supposed to put all his own career plans on ice in case Teo moves up or he's scared? That is demented.

I would like to see Taylor fight Teo, but the first thing needed for it to happen is Teo to move up to 140. That is the absolute barest pre-requisite. While he is still at lightweight, he needs to keep quiet about Jr WW.

This clown better stop calling other champions and give a rematch to loma unless he’s really afraid of loma, then work his way up to to earn a shot for another belt in the 140s ,,
