Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Jr. wants Jaron Ennis at 147, Terence Crawford at 154 and more support from Top Rank and ESPN

Yes, an excellent fight, Ennis vs Lopez.

[boxingitis]

Not so sure. He may fight Stanionis.

The Crawford fight is more doable now as well.

But you know Bob isn’t going to move Teo up to 147 for Ennis, especially after the miserable Clagget performance.

Norman is woth TR, you know that's probably more beneficial to them, then the winner can fight Ennis. Ennis didn't fight Stanionis while on Showtime, "may" doesn't sound convincing.

Teo wants a BIG fight, which is why he's talking about Ennis and Crawford! I'm not mad at that! However, don't name drop, then walk away, and say "I'm fighting Norman, because no one wants to fight me!"

I know what he wants, doesn't mean he'll get it....or that he's in the best position to actually get it. Beat Norman, then get Ennis. Or, unify with Paro in Australia. Teo cannot pretend like he doesn't have options...he's just being bratty. He's basically waiting for TR to throw a LA event.

Lol he’ll get SMASHED…twice.

He'll be smashed three times by Norman, Ennis, and Crawford, if those fights were to happen.
Norman was willing to fight him next month he turned it down, Ennis might fight him just to get an easy win, Crawford isn't going to waste his time against Pewee Lopez.

Ok. Ennis has been waiting on Crawford. IMO he should stay active. Stanionis would be a good fight right now.

Benavidez waiting for Canelo
Crawford waiting for Canelo
Teo waiting for Crawford
Shakur waiting for Tank

Waiting doesn't prove anything.
Ennis couldn't even finish unknown Karen, he is not that special.

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.

His lack of self awareness is stunning, he has NOT looked like a PFP talent in what? 3 years? He is jealous, Ennis got a big deal, Crawford got a massive deal, Tank is getting PAID, and Shakur is about to eat too, and none of them need Lopez to get paid. He also needs to stop insulting his benefactors, they can just put him on the shelf at any time. The way to get paid, and move up in the sport of boxing, is to take title fights when they are presented to you no matter what day of the week it is. This guy is a fake star, that's how I view him at this point.

His reality is insanity, somehow he thinks that he's in control of his career, but he's really not.
He's been checked a couple of times by promoters, because he's not as big of a draw as he would have you believe.

Teo wanting to follow the footsteps of Mikey Garcia

[Boricua181]

Teo needs to shut up and fight Brian Norman. There’s nobody else since for him at Top Rank.

Agreed!
