Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Sr.: Nobody Wants To Fight Us

[MulaKO]

2 dominant performances is going life and death with Taylor? Strange. Unless you bought into Bob's nutter rant which was to set up a loaded table against Catterall in the US where they can rob him like TopRank always do?

Wtv you say I still believe what I posted
Two washed up guys imo
or maybe should I say passed their prime

If Teo hits all the gears, he can overpower him but Catterall can fight, has good composure. But does block a lot with his head.

Teo can't fight at centre ring and struggles even more on the front foot. Catterall would make it look easy.

Sure that’s why Slow Eddie got him a gig with Prograis

Teo has the speed and power, but I want to see the fight for sure. I think Catterall is like a banana peel that fighters slip on if they are not careful. Thats why I think camp Teo is not eager on the fight.

Catterall called Teo out but he didn't want to know. The only big fight out there that isn't scheduled was Prograis. Catterall will call him out again after the Prograis fight when Teo is free and duck, again.

Who comes to mind when looking at those who Teo has either dropped or stopped?

I don't think much of his speed either. His form falls apart with him trying too much. But yeah, i'd love the fight. But i know in my heart it isn't happening. Teo and Bob will make sure of it.

I suspect as many, if not more, are avoiding fighting the son so as not have to deal with the crazy dad.

Fact or fiction ???

Yep, it was the logical next fight. It is a bad look for Teo, it has to happen next.

Teofimo Lopez Says He Turned Down Offer to Fight Ryan Garcia
November 27, 2023

Junior welterweight titlist Teofimo Lopez says he was offended by the paltry purse offered to him for a proposed fight with Ryan Garcia.

Lopez, the former unified lightweight champion from Brooklyn, New York, told reporters Saturday night in Las Vegas during the David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade card that he had rejected an offer to face Garcia for a fight early next year because he would have been remunerated with a payday far below his worth.

Lopez said he was offered $1.5 million to fight Garcia but he was mum on details, such as who had brought him the deal, if it was via Top Rank, his promoter, or Garcia’s promoter, Golden Boy.

Oscar De La Hoya, the founder of Golden Boy, suggested last month that he was interested in making a fight between Garcia and Lopez for February, during Super Bowl weekend, an idea that Top Rank head Bob Arum also endorsed.

“When you’re the best, when you are the guy, when you bring major sponsors, endorsements, big major business deals, when you offer me a 1.5 [million dollars] stake in the piece—f--k you,” Lopez told Boxing News. “So yeah I declined the offer.”
