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

[Corelone]

The members have been so mean to me BIG, I think I'm leaving next week after Deontay the 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder knocks out the Gypsy-Bum. I am not as thick skin as you, I nearly cried the other day, petero and numerous alts have abused me and spread awful rumors about me being a h0mo and racist...I have not slept all night, I couldn't.

Well, I'm going to bed now its almost 12 noon. Cya in a few hours.

April fools. BS 1 hour. Back to boxing. I think you underestimate a good inside game. Fury is your worst nightmare. Huge, hairy, stinking galoot, trying to ride Wilder like a jackass. Taylor is easy to catch, but hard to let go.

"If Leo Santa Cruz and Gervonta Davis could do that, at 130 and 135 for the WBA [titles], why can’t we do undisputed [versus] undisputed, mix and match, and do a catchweight in between those and the winner becomes undisputed on both weight classes. Right?" -Lopez

^****** comparison. Lopez DKSAB. What a bitch.

Davis-Cruz was not a catchweight fight. It was fought at 130 proper, where Cruz held the WBA belt, and not somewhere between 130 and 135. It was a 130 fight. Davis volunteered to put the 135 title on the line to entice Cruz. It's like Taylor fighting him at 135 and putting his 140 titles on the line. That's legit.

You can fight for any titles above you as long as you make that weight or under. You CANNOT win the 135 titles if you weigh above 135, only the 140 ones. It's also a bitchmove to ask for a 139 catchweight. I shitted on Cotto when he asked Martinez (I think it was him) a catchweight of 159. ****** one pound.

It seems like even the resident 'experts' don't understand how this works.

Of course you'd run in here to defend stank

Teofimo is a big-time whiner and has an inflated ego. That is a seriously off-putting combination.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Teo seems to still be vastly overrating his star power. He doesn't have the caché to make such a request. The man hasn't learned anything through all of this lol.

He learned a lot actually. He's following the old Pacquiao method.

And this:

“Look, no disrespect to Crawford, man,” Lopez said. “But he’s on his way out. I think he knows it. I think he knows it. Know what I mean?"

Is Teofimo thinking Porter upsets Crawford and that's why Crawford has avoided threats, to wait out a payday?

[Ravensfan]

Someone should remind Lopez that he isn't Ray Leonard!

[Superbee]

Coming from the guy who says making 135 is more and more of a nightmare and comes on fight nights at around 160... Sure... What he says is: "I **** my pants thinking of moving up, so let's drain the other guy to death so that I have a chance"...

Another useless poster I've refused to engage. Stay in your lane.

You think the WBA will strip your boytoy of his secondary bogus belts?

Its not legit when a 140 fighter goes to 135 not by choice.

Look at the weights don't get all hung up on CW its better for Taylor to be at 137-139 than it is to be at 135, and the only legit way is for it to be at 140 where nobody is forced to drop weight.

—————
Teofimo is 24 years old. He has unified all the belts. SRL was 25 when he lost to Duran.
Teofimo has never once claimed to be greater than SRL nor has he suggested it. He still has time to beat legit guys at 135 and is also a legit threat at 140 where he can unify all the belts.

What is there to remind him of? The guy is only 24.
