I feel you, a lot of fights are won in the gym, I’m sure the best version of Teo beats any version of kambosos… he will have a hell of a time trying to be as successful at 40 as he was at 35 but he can do it… if his mind and body are 100, he can beat anyone any night, if he isn’t 100 then… can lose to anyone any night, that’s the beauty of it all isn’t it? Anywho, the best on the night of the fights will win, I just hope we get to see the fights we wanna see and not just talk and wish about them

Yessir...The one thing that you can't argue is Teo's willingness to fight the best guys out there...Commey was a DANGEROUS fight, as was Loma. While all the other guys are were avoiding the sharks at 135, Teo was actually making the fights. So much for the 4 Kings of this generation... What a bunch of crap.

I'ma say it: I don't care for the lung disease/infection/whatever excuse. Teo is a grown man, old enough to decide whether he's fit and healthy enough to fight or not. He chose to fight so I don't want to hear any excuses about his lungs being messed up. If he thought they were bad then he shouldn't have fought, no one would've said anything at that point, the whole promotion was cursed. So what if George was a mandatory, drop a belt. What's worse: dropping a belt because you were sick or going into the fight sick, losing your belts, losing your 0, losing your confidence, and tucking your tail between your legs as you go to 140?

Went life and death with a journeyman people such as myself said Teo would absolutely flatten.

Still has it - but I'm not so sure what "it" is at this point.

135 is a very hard line in boxing. You can dominate at 135 and then you you move up you can either be a DLH/Mayweather or a Brandon Rios/Adrian Broner. No real inbetween.

Bottom line: too many people didn't give Martin the credit he deserved after beating Mikey.

I told everyone here not to overlook him. He's a tough test no matter who it is in there.

I wasn't being disrespectful to teo when I said kambozo took his swagger. Some fighters lose confidence when they suffer a defeat, especially their first loss to boot. I think teo drank the koolaid as AW would say.. and I think at the elite level hes just an elite athlete trying to ko guys with every punch. And even teos fans gotta be wondering what kind of chin he has.... Matin said it himself, hes not a puncher and he knocked down teo with a cuffing shot. I'm a fan of his because hes entertaining but I'm worried we've already seen his apex in the sport.

Off topic:

Teo has got to be one of the most low IQ guys in boxing who talks all kind of nonsense and do a poor job backtracking. He thinks fans are dumb and forget easily. What a clown...

Losses, especially brutal losses, are always an opportunity for a fighter to bounce back. That's why I'm always intrigued by how a fighter rebounds after a loss. Do they have that championship, fighting spirit? Or will they succumb to the effects of a loss? Seems like Teo is succumbing to the effects of his loss to George. He can still turn it around though.
