Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: "They Hate Cause I'm Great"

[Smash]

Teo is a deep thinker is he, well this is what he thinks

“Teofimo is a Hall of Famer no doubt,” said Lopez to BoxingScene.com. “Two-time undisputed world champion, 25 years young, two divisional world champion, two-time lineal world champion.”

Poorly matched, after his dismal showing with the first guy that could really move they put him in with another one, Dos Santos or Matias anyone that comes to fight suits his style much better, then if you have Teo beating those two and no Oritz he would be hyped big time and seriously talking Crawford, not everyone can beat all comers you have got to match them in their stylistic best interests, you would never put a sprinter in a stayers race this is the same thing.

Matchmaking is definitely part of it; Teo has shown he has issues with movers. If his team isn't going to try and teach him how to handle fighters with those skill sets then they should definitely try to navigate their way around them.

Teo has power and he can counter well but I don't recall him having a real high punch output. If he can't clip someone with his power and affect the fight with it, a volume puncher might create issues. And while I'm thinking on it, I don't recall him fighting a lot of murderous punchers.

Teo is capable of being excellent, but too often comes up well short of that. Against Kambosis he was plain bad. Against Ortiz he was lucky to get the decision. Add the deluded arrogance to that inconsistency and it draws the hate in from the fans.

Your narrative is cornball, how do you not risk a 0 when you beat the best of your era or guys that beat the few you didn't fight, makes no logical sense at all, truth is because he has a 0 the only way he can be attacked is to talk a bunch of BS that doesn't hold up, you cannot fight the guys he fought and not risk your 0, its fkn impossible.

STOP, virtually all the best names on his resume are guys he cherrypicked when they were either before or after their primes.

Diego Corrales is the best peak fighter he beat.

The problem with Lopez is that on any given night he can win a lineal championship or sc**** out an unconvincing decision against the likes of Sandor Martin or Jamaine Ortiz (I thought Martin beat him, I scored the Ortiz fight even). He needs to get his head on straight and hire a trainer that won't put up with anything but elite habits from him.
