Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Wants Catchweight Bout Against Josh Taylor, With Both Undisputed Titles at Stake

[Smash]

when u are a living breathing top atg in your early 20's u can make up your own rules

This dude is nothing but a clown show. Why would Josh want to come down in weight to fight him, he's never called him out. Why doesn't he really show us he has balls, and go to Jr. Welterweight and face him. Better yet, get back in the ring with Loma and show us you really aren't scared.. because I believe he is.

But Davis is his mandatory, technically, for the WBA belt. Lopez already priced himself out saying he's the A-side, while he can't sell a dining hall. I don't care about any belt. I even feel uneasy talking about these garbage belts. My first two at 135 are Davis and Loma.

but the requirement to become undisputed is to hold the wba super (if there is a regular belt in the same division), wbc, ibf and wbo title. Technically and objectively he doesnt need to fight Davis to become undisputed.
btw, has the mandatory already been called for davis vs teofimo? cant find anything with a quick google search.

Use the fighter's proper name or have a nice day. I don't usually address people like you. Don't waste time responding.

Exactly, even you know Stank has never held a title where it was a legit link to undisputed. Truth hurts.

Stank has only held secondary titles.

It would make the mess even worst , clueless idea either move up or shut up.

Stop playing games you want the undisputed Jr Welterweight title do it at 140 damn it. This is BS! Trying to be great taking shortcuts ain't it.

Not yet, because these BS orgs don't know what they are doing, and Davis will not take the mandatory cut for someone he's the A+ side to. It's all politics. Davis can enforce it tho.

Why would Taylor want go for this? Dude is on the verge of moving up to Welterweight but he’d want to fight Teo for his couple titles in a catchweight.

If Teo wants thr opportunity to potentially know what it’s like to be undisputed, then he needs step up to 140 and fight Taylor for his legit undisputed championship.

All this talk by Teo is his way of trying to save face and generate buzz for himself. The dudes ego took a huge hit with the Triller fiasco and he got put back in his place in regards to his true boxing worth. Now he’s just trying to generate buzz.

If he wants real buzz either fight Loma in a rematch, or fight Taylor at 140, or there is Haney.

I’d say fight Stank Davis but his people ain’t putting him in there with Teo.

Yeah. He's only saying this because Taylor has very little incentive to fight Teofimo. Teofimo thinks he can use those belts like carrots, dangle them in front of Taylor at 137 and drag him down (except he doesn't know that the light belts can't be on the line above the lightweight division). The only way Teofimo can get Taylor is if Taylor stands to make more money fighting him than he does fighting Crawford.

Who thinks that Taylor will make more money fighting Lopez than he will fighting Crawford?
