Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Says He Stands By Controversial Comments: 'I Wouldn't Be Teofimo If I Did Apologize'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Don't expect Teofimo Lopez to issue a mea culpa for his highly contentious words. The former undisputed lightweight champion and current 140-pound contender came under fire last month when he offered remarks that were perceived as hostile, especially toward Black fighters. Among his claims, Lopez said he believed his promoter, Top Rank, was favoring their roster of Black fighters over him.

Does TR lose both Teofimo and Devin? Eddie Hearn would love that!

Lopez shows signs of actual mental illness. He needs to get help. He seems like a bad ending waiting to happen.

Teo is going to be the latino broner. A guy with somewhat of a name that various promoters will cycles around as a punching bag to make a few bucks. Top Rank will be done with him after this fight. Guaranteed he ends up on the equivalent of BLK prime after this fight.

Teofimo doesn't know how ridiculous he sounds. He is almost as much of a buffoon as his father. It is all really sad.

Teofimo you won't get any sympathy from the haters so just be happy with those who do support you. First beat Taylor then people will be impressed.

Does he think he sounds cool?

Not a fan of Lopez anymore, but I don’t think Broner ever beat anyone of the level of Lomachenko or Commey tbh. And I think Martin would have beaten Broner much worse than he beat Lopez (they robbed Martin imo).

Also, if Lopez leaves TR, he will have GBP, PBC, and Matchroom after him. Guaranteed.

Black fighters have said Golden Boy Promotions favors Hispanic boxers. What's the big ****ing deal. Teo is entitled to his opinion.

Why would you say that as a fighter ?
