Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Teofimo Lopez-Boots Ennis is 'fight we want'

[boxingitis]

———-
Teo beats Boots the same way he beat Kambosos?

Teo beats Boots like Boots beat Vergil.
O wait he was to scare to move up.

After Karen fight Boots "Im ready to to 154"

Vergil accepts to fights Boots.
Boots "I want to unify 147".

Atleast Teo has balls to "once again" MOVE UP A DIVISION and fight a Champion, something Boots is scared to do.

I'm beginning to think Boots is sick. Something is wrong with him and I'm going to feel bad later for bad mouthing him.

We must not put words in Ennis's mouth, if there's something he didn't say.

I'll just say this, Eddie must make it happen, whether Lopez or move up and take on Ortiz or Crawford if Bud accepts.

'Boots' is not here at welterweight or any division now to fight the likes of Chukhadzian, it's big fights, or why be in boxing.

[Nightfall]

BS. Lopez will find away to get out of this

[champion4ever]

I would just love for this fight to happen; Especially if it’s at 147. Now It’s time for Teo to either put or shut up.

If he is so hot on moving up to the welterweight division to fight Crawford. Then he could start by fighting Ennis.

sorry booty only wants unifications

I know but Teo wants some of that good booty.

[champion4ever]

The IBF is too stringent. Ennis fears if he moves up to a higher weight division in order to fight Ortiz for one fight. Then that sanctioning body just might strip him of his e-mail welterweight title.

[champion4ever]

it's a cash out - simple as that - lets see how often he trots out that "Takeover" line

I agree. Top rank is not in the business of losing money by pouring good money after bad.

Teo needs to defeat someone like a Jaron Ennis first in order to help boost his profile. So he can start putting more meat in the seats.

That is what holding Teofimo back. He is not a big enough box office draw in order to demand the type of money he is demanding.

Thank You Bob Arum! Boots, Teo, MAN UP!

[champion4ever]

Hearn is also trying to make a fight between Teo and Hitchins....

Teo won’t fight Hitchens unless the money is good. He is an unknown commodity. There’s no money to be made in that fight.
