I sort of can respect Teo having a good performance & then shouting 'Come on Bud, let's go'. The problem is that Bud has a career of unrivalled achievement whereas, after every great performance Teo has a lousy one. TBBH Teo, at this stage you have done nothing to justify or deserve Bud or, indeed, Tank.

When he is on Teofimo looks special.

But he has some performances that leave you scratching your head. You just never know what you’re going to get with him.

I wish he fought Haney for the real deal undisputed back then. Was a weird time with him and top rank, Triller bs happened, and I’m guessing it was a better paycheck? To go to Australia cause they sold out a stadium I think. I wonder how things would have been different if Teo-Haney did happen back then. Any ideas cause that got me thinking lol

[MulaKO]

Teo only mentions Bud’s name cause he knows that fight is far fetched and out of reach
Needs to keep his name in the current
I hope he overlooks Claggett and gets beat
Say what you will but Claggett is pretty tough and will come to win

A good Teo beats Claggett so easy, but, I totally understand what MulaKO & Shoulderroll are saying. Teo could lose. Just turn in a performance that says 'I could be bothered'. It annoys me. When did Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Joe Frazier or Rocky Marciano ever say, 'oh, I can't be bothered. I'll just produce the minimum, that should be good enough' ?

If Teo brings his A game, your guaranteed a fight to remember. He’s that talented and athletic with every tool in his tool box. The tougher the opponent, the better he fights. And if the opponent takes the lead, he’s at his best. But remember, I said IF

IF is where it’s at
Like I said I really hope he’s overlooking Claggett
Claggett is one mofo who deserves much recognition
He’s come up the hard way and the truest of ways

Buds on a different trajectory. Don’t understand why posters even bother.However if Lopez was in the same division and Ring rated in the top 10, now we would have a fight to meet the championship criteria. Lopez just keep doing what he’s doing; defending the ring and WBO belts, unify and move up when it’s time. He’s actually moving along at a great pace at 27 years old. He’s at the championship pedigree that Tank wished he had

Claggett could be this fights version of Kambosos, at least I'm hoping so, because Teofimo, just like Ryan are both mentally unhinged (Big Time)!
