Mayweather has had his eye on Lopez for well over a year as he trains former WBA super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero, who for years has been clamoring for a collision with Lopez. For the longest time Lopez has seemed to shy away from such a contest and took some shots at Caballero last November following his shocking upset to Jason Litzau, claiming that the loss was proof that the Panamanian was never on his level to begin with.
When I asked Mayweather if Lopez's recent meltdown makes him look especially bad after seeing him go out of his way to diss Caballero, the mild-mannered yet outspoken coach seemed to agree. Mayweather also addressed Lopez's claims that Caballero wasn't a big enough draw to warrant such a fight, noting that the Puerto Rican's previous fight against Rafael Marquez inside of the MGM Grand was far from a sellout.
"Of course it makes him look bad," Mayweather remarked. "Basically it goes to show you that it is karma. And one thing, he may be huge in Puerto Rico but here in Vegas he's nothing because he only had five-thousand people here or less. I mean that fight belonged in a small ballroom not a place that seats ten or fifteen-thousand."
