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

[DaNeutral.]

Fkk that, you wana fight for a title then move up in weight, no BS catch weight nonsense. Taylor doesn't talk about coming down in weight but you talk about moving up, so move up or shut the fkk up.

Teo, if you want Josh Taylor's 140 belt, er, go to 140! That kind of is the idea of weight divisions.

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.

Read my post again. You are saying the same thing I said.

Teo really thinks he is a threat to JT LOL This is the same guy that barely survived against Loma and said no more 6 footers SMH..

Josh Taylor don't need no daam 135lbs belts he's not a small man..

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.

Honestly it don't matter if your 24 if you only fighting 1 a year..Teo gonna get old quick probably gate keeper status by 30

Josh Taylor looked notably bigger than middleweight Eubank Jr to me at the AJ fight. Not that remarkable really as he probably literally was as Eubank Jr was making weight but I cant see how Taylor could possibly weigh under 10 stone and fight properly.

He very much looks like a man who should move up after Caterall to me and even then he looks like he could move up again. I suppose it is all about whether he can **** as he goes through the classes.

I know Taylor could feasibly fight Tank Davis but those two between fights would look silly if you put them alongside each other. Boxing is a crazy game.

This is what people fail to realize about Taylor. I had said I bet even Ramirez was a bit surprised when they faced off. Taylor is bigger than people think but it's not just that he know how to use his size in the ring as we saw with Prograis and Ramirez.

Man Teo's carrying on like such a diva, I really can't stand the guy anymore.
disrespecting and refusing to rematch Loma, messing around Kambosos. Trying to weight drain Taylor and not fighting any other top lightweight.
he loses to Taylor at 140, I also think he loses to Prograis, maybe Zepeda aswell. Once he leaves 135 he'll realise he ain't as good as his daddy says he is.

Fighting once a year?? What world are you living in? Have you not heard of Covid?
How many times has Wilder or Fury or Crawford or Spence or any of most of the top guys in boxing fought this year each?
How many postponements and reschedules have we seen this year alone because of Covid? If SRL was 24 in 2021, how many times do you think he’d be fighting?

What a joke. First of all dragging the guy down to a catchweight after all the **** talked is just sad. Secondly his reason is that he wants all the undisputed belts to be on the line. But lightweight titles can't be on the line for a 138lb catchweight fight so he's just making stuff up

I still remember 'Loma is ducking if he doesn't fight me right now because I can't make weight any longer' 2-3 years later and he is refusing to move up and wants to drag somebody else down in weight instead. Fight Haney, or Tank, or rematch Loma, or go to 140. But enough with trying to get an "A side advantage" out of every situation, that attitude has seen his Kambosos fight be delayed over and over and killed his momentum. I enjoy his performances but if he'd stop with the diva demands that would be great...

Could be cw of 135. 135 is minimum weight for 140
