Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney Engage In Lengthy, Explicit War of Words Ringside In Fresno

[Gypshot]

Haney and his ***** ass are annoying arrogant little ****s. They have no intention of facing any top fighter let alone the best 135lber Lopez.

Let's be real here: Lopez has only a few options because he's not going to get the Taylor fight. Crawford and Taylor are inline to fight each other. Same promotor, on a similar schedule and both have said that they want to fight each other. Both are definitely wanting to fight each other next. Taylor vs Crawford is a bigger fight than Teofimo vs Taylor. Why? Because of the danger to both Crawford and Taylor, because of the history each have at the junior welterweight division, with both being undisputed. It's a MUCH bigger fight and Taylor has said he's not interested in the Lopez fight.

So that leaves Teofimo with several options: (1) Fight Haney after their next coming fights, (2) rematch Lomachenko for a PPV fight (which is a much easier fight to make than one with Haney, Matchroom and DAZN) or (3) move to 140 and fight Prograis.

If he fights Prograis, we'll see what type of fighter Lopez is and whether he can hang with the "big boys." Personally, I would love to see a Haney fight or a Lomachenko fight. But with Haney, I just see that already being fraught with issues, especially with Bill Haney screaming "Let's do it on DAZN!!!" repeatedly. Arum, Top Rank and ESPN are not going to be down with that. No way.

TL;DR: Lopez has two realistic options: Rematch Lomachenko or fight at 140 against Regis Prograis.

Good realistic post. Only thing I'd disagree with is, for your option 3, whilst I like that fight, realistically he's more likely to fight Jose Pedraza.

Yeah. I think you're right, from what Arum has said. This will be Crawford's last fight with Top Rank. However, Arum said that going by a fight to fight basis, rather than being locked in, is how he used to work with fighters. I think the landscape is changing, however. He might resign with Arum, and if he doesn't, I don't think it changes anything for Crawford, who will be operating as a "free agent," so to speak. It would only be an issue if he goes and sings with the PBC, Matchroom or Golden Boy. As long as he operates as a free agent, this should be an easy fight to make and shouldn't change anything (hypothetically).

If Crawford goes to PBC, Taylor will still get the shot, but as Crawford's next mandatory. So Taylor would then need to fight someone else until that got called.

[Rodtang]

Excellent match up, if it happens. I got Zepeda in that one.

Yeah it would be. But not one I want to contemplate for now as Jo Jo needs to get his finger out his @$$ and accept the offer to fight Haney.

That's just cap.

Pig nose Haney perfectly represents the inner city America. All entitlement, deluded thoughts of self importance, and everyone else to blame but him. An affirmative action belt holder if there ever was such a thing in boxing, but here we are. This guy just represents a losing culture in America that has not only embarrassed boxing, but weakened America to the point China knows it's only a matter of time before they take over an enslave these self-entitled losers.

This is going beyond the point of this thread. Stick to the boxing part.

LOL Yeah, that's probably true. I think a fight with Prograis would be a blood bath. It'd bee good for us fans, no doubt. But it might be a bad business decision for Lopez. Might as well fight for a belt than to go that route. It would be interesting to see a Pedraza fight. Loma's fighting Lopez's previous opponents and then Lopez fights a previous opponent of Loma. That'd be interesting.

BTW: I'd pick Prograis to win that fight, if it were to ever happen. Love Prograis. Fantastic boxer.

All that happens in that division is talk, talk, talk. Wake me up when they actually decide they want to fight.

every last one of these mfers. Lopez has rescheduled one fight 4 ****ing times, Tank likes to collect fake belts, Garcia loves instagram and punching strangers in the chest as he pulls out of big fights, and Loma fights Teo leftovers.. That whole division is bs

Honestly, I can't get mad at Lopez or Loma. Lopez has been trying to fight but Triller f'ckd it all up. Loma is trying to make a good fight, and nobody wants to fight him. Who have we seen call out Loma? Haney hasn't called out Loma, and if he does, he's doing it only because he's signed to fight someone else. Tank is just doing Mayweather's bidding. I don't know what's going on with Garcia. In fact, Garcia appears to be following in the footsteps of Mikey Garcia. Neither of those guys like boxing. Garcia has said so.

Haney is starting to look the worse out of the bunch. I'm getting some information the last few days that just make Haney look really bad, making him look to be nothing more than a clout chaser.

Here's a good point that someone made today. During that argument with Teofimo, Devin Haney said: "I have more followers than you." (Now that's some weird **** to say to another boxer because who gives a **** how many followers a man has if he's trying to make a fight.) Lopez responded: "Well, I have more belts than you." (That's boxing talk right there.) Then Haney said: "Well, I have more money than you." (Say what? That's not boxing talk either.) That tells you who's about fighting and who's about capping. That conversation says all that one needs to know.

Also, it's come out that Bill Haney admitted to having a meeting with Arum and decided not to go. He said that out of his own mouth. So Devin Haney is not looking to good to me right now.

TL;DR: Lopez and Loma are doing as well as they can, given the circumstances. Tank is debatable; he's doing well if we blame Mayweather for Tank's opponents. The other two, however, Garcia and Haney are stinking the place up.
