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

[Robi13]

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.

Teo will be stronger at 40 as well though.

The guy ducking a Loma rematch is talking about people moving up? Lol. If he is moving to 140 for good, fight Prograis next.

[Akutalee]

He should rematch loma or fight Haney...

[fourtheboys96]

Lopez's biggest weakness is an elongated opponent. He is wide but he isnt tall, that's why.

IMO, he wouldnt even make it past Prograis or Ramirez.

[rudy]

Josh will fight him better than to lose to Crawford which he is not winning this guy has not even made a defence of his titles

[tokon]

So, if Lopez got one more at 135 after this one, make it Haney and officially announce he's going to 140 afterwards; petition the alphabet boys for mandatory status and force Taylor to fight or vacate. We'll see who's scared . . . .

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 ,,

Give Loma a rematch!? Why!? Because “you” say so? Don’t we b I t Ch about rematches in divisions as holding them up? Now we’re complete fans of rematches because the fighter we don’t like won?

Got it.

Josh Taylor, drop the WBO title! You don't need it, because you already made history! Teofimo Lopez is the fight you want, and NOT Terence Crawford! You don't need those problems!

Yes he gets it outright the moment he moves up. He becomes mandatory for the WBO strap.

You have claimed this a number of times and it's not true.

I presume you are looking at what happened with Usyk and making an assumption.

Usyk, however, petitioned the WBO as their super champion at CW for mandatory status at HW when he moved up. They agreed. Nothing automatically happened the moment he moved up as you are applying.

Furthermore, you have to be specially granted super champion status by the WBO to even be able to petition this way. I did not realise they had granted Lopez super champion status and can find no evidence for this. Kindly provide a link if you have the information available showing that he is the WBO LW super champion rather than simply the belt holder.

I cannot argue your point. You are 100% correct
