Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: "Crawford Says He's The Best, I Know I'm The Best, Let's Make The Fight Happen"

If crawford beats him, he will pull off the asthma excuse since he loves talking about crawford beating "handicapped" fighters.

If Lopez gets past Ortiz there's a big money fight with bragging rights for him with Haney.

If Teo thinks he can beat bud, why not move up, challenge boots , beat him and the fans will demand bud faces Lopez. Until then it’s all bluster.

Teo looking to cash out? Or does he truly think he can win. Well, obviously he wouldn't be taking the fight unless he did. Granted, I think him coming up and Crawford already accustomed to facing 147lbers might make it an easy blowout for Crawford.

I just think time is against Crawford right now. He's hit the spotlight, but doesn't have much time left to make big matches where he can definitely continue to win and impressively. If I were him, if he's at all even going to consider Teo, he should do it now while he can probably blow Teofimo out easily, rather than wait and have a chance to be upset.

The trouble with Teo is that he really doesn’t want the fight because he knows he’ll get his asswhupped!

What he is really after is that career defining pay day at Terence Crawford’s expense by coming to the bargaining table empty handed.

Bud has absolutely nothing to prove and Teo got nothing that Terence wants or need in order to make this fight happen.

Crawford is the best fighter in the world right now, probably the best of his gen but he's hard to sell. Teo, hate him or love him, has a fanbase and can sell because of his brash and polarizing personality.

I wish Crawford would just beat the sh_ttttt out of this loser to Kambosos of all people!

Boots too has a fan base and has polarized people. And he’s also the top WW with a legit belt

Do you think he should consider Boots as well?

[Bullrider]

Seems this is more likely to happen than the Boots fight for Bud. Boots should take a page out of Lopez's three-page book. Go out there and confront Bud face to face. No sense in waiting around doing nothing like a queen waiting for service all the time.
