Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson will be at Madison Square Garden

[champion4ever]

Who has Shakur beaten, absolutely nobody. See how Navarette stop Valdez.

Well as far as Teofimo Lopez is concerned; Why doesn’t this sucka ever fight bruthas?

All off his signature wins and only loss have all come against older white fighters; Euros and Aussies to be exact.

Likewise, his only loss of his professional career has come against a white fighter. Who was also an older fighter.

Richard Commey was a Ghanaian boxer. He wasn’t a black American. So he doesn’t count.

However, still he was an older fighter too. Name me just one elite black American fighter that “Gordo”has fought in his professional career; Just one. You can’t because there aren’t any?

So, I don’t buy this narrative that Lopez always rises to the occasion when he is overmatched or expected to underperform. The guy is and has always been overrated.

Therefore, he doesn’t stand a chance of defeating Shakur Stevenson because he would be the first elite brutha of the bunch he has ever fought since turning pro.

teo bailed on a turki backed haney fight for whatever reasons he only knows, some crap about selling his soul or weird stuff like that, he didnt fancy it anyway but hes onboard for shakur in another turki backed fight so it was nothing to do with turki his bailing on the haney fight, he just sees himself doing better v shakur than haney seems to me anyway

Ridiculous comment. Both are world champions, with one of them on the P4P list. That’s a main event now or 10 years ago.

None of them ever got a significant win ever and one flunked badly at 135 when the weight cut failed badly. Got a gifted and ducked the rematch. This is a fight rooted in fanboyism.

Teofimo beat Lomachenko fair and square. Shakur Stevenson beat William Zepeda who was highly ranked by multiple sanctioning bodies at the same time.

Kambosos beat him already up so that he ended up in the hospital never rematched any of that (or any rematch for that matter against whoever) so it is hard to take these fights serious at world level.

Yes, there is a difference between what James Toney did for example and what Shakur does. He relies largely on talent. You'll see when he fights someone who can figure out what to do with quick fleetfooted fighters. Whether he knows what to do an make adjustments? IDK yet

Shakur Stevenson's is vastly superior to James Toney when it comes to skills.

It's not even remotely close.

What world do you live in?

Teofimo has beat Comney, Lomachenko, Martin, Ortiz, Taylor and Barboza. All of which are significant wins.

Shakur has beaten Herring, Valdez and Zepeda, all of which are significant wins.

Both are elite fighters unless you're either blind or retarded.

And put in the hospital by Kambo.

OK. And? Boxers get put in the hospital sometimes, believe it or not.

How does that change the fact that your statement was both objectively wrong and plainly retarded?

Better to try convince your cat Lopez isn’t a serial ducker.
