Comments Thread For: Arum: You'd Have To Favor Prograis, But I Think Teofimo Could Beat Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum has decades-worth of experience watching fights, and at the age of 91, the Hall of Fame promoter and Top Rank boss knows when a gem is pristine or imperfect.

Let's find out and make the fight.

Prograis still has to fight Jose Ramirez, so Teo can't fight him until probably late summer at the earliest! Arum should have Teo fight the winner of Pedraza vs. Barboza Jr.! He's not ready for Prograis or Taylor!

Prograis would deft be fav, but Teo has the skills to beat anyone at 140 if his head is right.

Feed that statement into the old decoder and... voila "You'd Have To Favor Prograis, But I Think Teofimo Could Beat Him" translation "Prograis kills Teofimo but I need to say something positive"

You think Bob? Prograis would punish Teofimo, and I mean badly! Teo's father would have to come to his rescue by throwing in the towel to spare his son from further punishment.

I think Teo is an amazing fighter. His problem is in his “head”. You get his head in right. He should be able to whip any 140 pounder.
147 will be more of a challenge. I think he still could beat many of the top 10 EASILY. He will have to LEARN to be content with OUT POINTING and not KOing people. That could get him in trouble

Prograis is going to beat Ramirez, and there's no guarantee that Teo will get past his next opponent no matter who that might be.
Teofimo just isn't boxing to the level that he's used to, now he basically comes in throwing power shot's, and he's getting caught/countered.
When he start's fighting the premier fighters of the division, he's going to get busted up worse than when Kambosos dogged him.

The winner of the Pedraza vs Barboza Jr, fight would be a good step up in recent opponent's for Teofimo.
Who hasn't been setting the boxing world on fire as of late, he's definitely regressed, as far as his boxing skill's are concerned.
He'd have an even chance of possibly winning a fight against them, albeit the fact that he'd be hard pressed to get a win against either of the two.

Easy work for Prograis. Lopez is just a high profile average fighter
