what a loud mouth do nothing pc of garbage this guy has become most fighters develop in the ring this guy makes it up as he goes along --- shut up and fight and fight reguarly and then he might have something to say about himself. Or better yet let his hands do the talking instead of his mouth. If he was gone tomorrow no one would even care in boxing.

Lopez is salivating over that Turki money. He essentially wants Top Rank to work with Alalshikh. Teo got beef with Hearn who has influence over his royal highness.

Teo needs to ditch the beef and get Turki with Hearn.
There will always be a place at my Thanksgiving table for Turki.

Teo is a pretty great fighter when he's focused and motivated but he seemed quite small even for 140. He'll seem crazy small at 147 and 154. Probably not a great idea pushing it at those levels but it's his career and he has earned the right to attempt to prove us wrong.

These guys are still growing and Teo does not seem small to me, he looks big for 140... I could be wrong on this point... But these guys are growing and they need to start thinking where they will be fighting when they fill out, and prepare themselves for the transition. To me Pitbull looks like a natural 130 guy... and should not fight up from that weight unless he hits a growth spurt. But Teo has a big frame and will fill out. Like Haney...

Lol agreed...Teofimo is far too hit & miss for my liking. He alternates great performances (e.g. Taylor & Lomachenko) with average ones where he loses/wins by the skin of his teeth e.g. Kambosos, Martin & Ortiz. Therefore, he's far too INCONSISTENT to be considered a favourite against the likes of Boots or Crawford. In fact, they should put him in with Madrimov, Fundora & Bohahchuk first as I'm pretty sure they'd all give him a tough fight and Madrimov would definitely beat him.

you are not sure if Fundora and Bohachuk would beat Teofimo? - things that make you go hmmm
- both Fundora and Bohachuk would be -400/-500 favourites if not tighter odds - he'd struggle to reach Fundora's chin
- what have you seen in Teo that makes you think he is competitive with Bud, Boots or any contender/champion at 154?

That's what it looks like. Seems he's willing to forget his grudge with Eddie Hearn who he accused of masterminding his defeat against Kambosos.

Why not fight Tank first?
