The guy who recently destroyed Linares would beat Lopez. Lopez is not beating Loma nor Crawford. Lopez isn’t even as fast as Davis.Comment

If they fight down the road we will see. Crawford and Loma are both over 30. If he stays in shape like a Floyd, hagler or GGG and not a Duran or Broner, he will be 25 or 26 when he gets to 147 and Crawford will be 35.
I don't know if he can beat Loma, which is why I said if. His best chance is to use his reach advantage. If he were to upset him then the sky is the limit.Comment

I wasn’t impressed with Lopez this weekend. Magdaleno has experience for sure, but let’s be honest, that guy was carefully selected and at times capitalized on Lopez’s mistakes. Magdaleno doesn’t have prize fighting power. Remember when Thurman fought guys with more experience with about the same age as Lopez, Thurman performed better. Lopez is a conservative pocket fighter. Isn’t as confident as Davis imo. Magdaleno... nehIf they fight down the road we will see. Crawford and Loma are both over 30.

Thurman at his age wasn't fighting anyone near the claiber of a Magdaleno, even though I agree he was selected because he is a name the Lopez could beat. Thurman also had a UD at 21 that stopped his ko streak (I think he had a DQ win or an NC before that s well).I wasn’t impressed with Lopez this weekend.

Thurman's equivalent fight was Quintana like 3 years later. I'm fine if you are not impressed but he is well ahead of where Thurman was at the same age.Comment

That’s right. I thought Lopez was 23, though he’ll be 22 this year. I was thinking guys like Lora and Quintana were much harder fights than Diego Magdaleno.Thurman at his age wasn't fighting anyone near the claiber of a Magdaleno, even though I agree he was selected because he is a name the Lopez could beat.

teofimo already got caught lying about a sparring session they had. Haney beats teofimo. Garcia is too young still but Haney is ready now & teofimo is your rock'em sock'em fighter & we know that doesn't last long in this sport.Comment
