Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: Teofimo Lopez Only Has 3 Belts, He is NOT Undisputed!

[petero]

Why is Josh Taylor hating on Teofimo? Lopez is not even at this weight ( jr. welterweight ) . Josh Taylor is a loud-mouth hater, and a weight-bully. How about he move up and fight Terence Crawford? I guess Tayor would rather fight little Gervonta Davis and Teofimo Lopez coming up from lightweight. Taylor was all talk about fighting the P4P, he is now talking about fighting Jack Catteral and the 135 pounders.

Coward Josh Taylor, will be forced to leave the division when Subriel Matias evokes his due IBF mandatory opportunity.

Weight bully? You are a complete moron as your own words reveal. Subriel Who? No one has heard of him but you. Another one of your pathetic hype jobs. Bet opposite of your picks and you will always make money. Whoever you hate on seem to always win big, TTT, GYPSY KING, then you go silent. You suck

"I genuinely think I’d beat him up if we ever meet but I’ve no real interest in Teofimo Lopez." - Josh Taylor

I think Josh Taylor should reconsider! Teofimo (and his Father) is already doing his part to hype the fight, unlike Crawford, which is why Taylor vs. Lopez would be a more lucrative event! Taylor should fight Catterall at home, while Teofimo fights Haney. If Teo beats Devin, then we have the "Battle of the Undisputed!" That's much more intriguing than Crawford vs. Taylor!

That's actually a good idea

Keep running your mouth 'Tart-Tomato', Teofimo Lopez would go up to your weight and beat you up worse than Regis Prograis.

Umm what? The general consensus for that fight was as follows, close fight but Taylor just edged it in many ppls eyes, easily could have been a draw aswell but "beat him up"?? U really do have some awful takes, it's like u get you're ideas from Stephen a Smith

After Garcia moved on and vacated who won the WBC strap first? Loma right? Not Haney, Loma. Did Haney ever beat Loma? Just because the WBC decided to make some money and throw Haney a bone, doesn't mean he's champ. The WBC champion WAS Mikey Garcia, Loma WAS the WBC champ, the games the WBC is playing to make money, franchise, intern, don't mean anything. Loma WAS the WBC champ Lopez did beat Loma, therefore Lopez is not only undisputed, he's THE WBC champion. Haney is what you would call a paper champion, not real, just on paper, maybe you should do some research as well.....

Loma VACATED his WBC belt instead of defending it against WBC mandatory Haney but WBC saved his face by giving him irrelevant Franchise crap.. He did the same as Bowe when he dropped his WBC belt into a trash bin. What (real) champ does that?!

I blame WBC, Arum, Loma for this mess but it's down to Teo to sort it out. Beat Haney and he can move up to 140 knowing he goes down as one of the best, most proven lightweights in recent decades

That's actually a good idea

One of the few times I agree with Bob Arum! Only problem is Teofimo! I really don't think he wants to be at 135 anymore! He's been fighting that battle for some time now...

Teofimo Lopez: Right After Loma Fight, We'll Move Up To 140
April 7, 2020

“My last fight with Richard Commey, I made weight easy but that was with nine hard weeks of camp. If we can do something like that, you never know—I might be able to stay a little longer.”

The clash with Ukraine’s Lomachenko (14-1, 10KOs) was all but solidified the moment Lopez stretched out Commey inside of two rounds last December. It still very much remains the plan, no matter how long it takes to get to that point.

The question afterward, is whether or not he can be enticed to stick around. The short-term goal is to conquer Lomachenko, which is the quickest path to lightweight supremacy. After that, the intention is to go from multi-belt lightweight king to multi-divisional ruler.

“The max I would go is anywhere from 154-160,” Lopez claims. “I love to eat. My family they call me “Gordo.”

Teofimo Lopez: My Body Is Ready To Move Up, One Or Two Fights Left At 135
January 14, 2021

““Now, we’re the king of the division. Now, we get to call the shots,” Lopez told BoxingScene.com of his future plans. “I’ve accomplished everything at lightweight. However, do I plan on staying here for another year? No. My body is ready to move up, already...”

“The thing a lot of people don’t know, these guys have just moved up to my weight class,” notes Lopez. “I’ve been 135 for four years already, seven really going back to the amateurs. That’s a looooong time at this weight.

“I just feel like my body is ready to move up. However, one or more two more fights left at 135 is a possibility.”
