Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis Doubts Teofimo Lopez Will Find Success At 140: "I Don't See It"

1hourBum let's hear it, what's your pick. Lopez? Your next hype job beats em all?

At 140, Teo looks like an ordinary, off the rack fighter...a guy that only looks good in a tailor-made fight.

That said, Lopez sells tickets with his mouth and Arum will match him in winnable fights until the top 140lbers either age out, wear out like like Ivan Redkach or move up.

One thing that is absolutely certain...they are NOT going to let Prograis near Teofimo Lopez, not now, not later, not ever.

Not a Lopez fan, but he will beat Prograis. Prograis is highly overrated on these boards. He's a good fighter, but Josh Taylor showed very clearly that Prograis is not elite.
I have no idea how some people thought that was an even fight. Taylor was far better than Prograis. Prograis has skills, but he's extremely slow (hands and feet) for a JWW.

I don't want to be to hard on Teo, it was a good comeback fight he looked good, sure he will be smaller at this weight, that's part of the game. I like how Prograis stirs the pot doe

Prograis needs to stfu and stop begging for a fight with Lopez. Just because he whined and bltched his way to a title fight doesn't mean he's any good

Unless Top Rank wants to tank Lopez's future, they will keep him far away from Prograis. If they want to put him in for a stiff test, throw Lopez in with Matias. I don't think Lopez will hold a title until the top tier of 140 ages out.

I wasn't sold on Lopez @135, I'm SAH not sold @ 140.

Prograis needs to stay focused on Zepeda. Prograis is a damn good fighter, but he isn’t unbeatable. Taylor already did and I see Zepeda winning and Subriel Matias as notches above. Matias is my top guy at 140 even if he ain’t got the belts.

Regis kills himself to stay at 140 cause he don't want no part of 147. Yet at 140 has done pretty much nothing but lose to Taylor and hasn't fought any top fighters since and is trying to fight smaller fighters that have been 135 pounders all they r career

I wasn't sold on Lopez @135, I'm SAH not sold @ 140.

I was never sold on his sht corner. His dad made ZERO sense against Kambosos.
