Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez, Top Rank in Pursuit of WBC Title in 2019

He better stay at 135 as long as he can. There are a lot of talented young champs at 140 right now. Some with just as much power as him or maybe more.

Yeap, 140 is a deep division now.

Absolutely. Being a champion at the age of 21 is more impressive than being a champion in your 2nd pro fight when you had seven other WBS fights as well as over 400 amateur fights and were 25 years old at the time. Doesn't mean Lomachenko winning a title in his 3rd fight wasn't impressive, just that what Lopez would do is more impressive.

Inoue's accomplishment early on were more impressive than Lomachenko's as well.

It is much harder to become an Olimpic gold medalist with val barker trophy at 20. But continue you hype.

Indeed. Loma became a legend way before he turned pro.

So like I said, winning a title at the age of 21>>winning a title at the age of 25 in your third fight after having 7 WBS bouts.

Teofimo beats Luke Campbell right now. Hoping for Lopez vs Lomachenko for all the belts in 2020!
