Could Teofimo Lopez be a bigger star than Floyd Mayweather?

[Caxcan]

Doubtful. Besides Floyd's talents, there isn't a star of the caliber of Oscar that can propel him to the next level. Also, for a good chunk of his time on top there weren't many other fighters receiving mainstream attention. He and Pac were pretty much the only game in town for a while. Now you have the heavyweights making noise along with numerous fighters receiving promotional pushes from different platforms.

Who is Teofimo Lopez? And why is he suddenly a boogeyman that Lomachenko is ducking?

[boogbx]

Lopez has a shot, given the amount of trash 45 talks about Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, he gives us national Exposure.

The key though and that’s what Floyd did, is beat everybody. Lopez has to beat Loma and Mikey Garcia yo even be able to shine Floyd’s shoes.

Not an easy task.

Like what exactly?

He got hit by a bum way too often in his last fight and he's very repetitive in his movements. You'll see when he steps up in competition. Lopez reminds me of broner. He's so hyped up and hasn't fought anyone in the top 10.

Lomo haters need someone to cling on. I remember pre walters same guys were saying walters will beat lomo and then rigo and then linares. It's the new flavor of the year. After lopez it will be tank.

[daggum]

yes he will be but he will actually fight good fighters along the way instead of cherry picking like floyd. we know floyd would never have fought loma and lopez wants to. floyd is teling tank not to fight loma because he wants to turn him into a star by ducking. lopez wants to turn into a star by fighting. 2 different philosophies when it comes to boxing. lets hope the cowardly way doesnt win out again

[FinitoxDinamita]

No.. that would mean that Lopez would have to surpass the likes of Morales and Barrera too. Yeaaa right haha

[Squ□redCircle34]

Hell no! I think Lopez would’ve had big trouble against a Mikey Garcia at 135 while him Garcia vs Loma is either 60-40 Mikey or 50-50!

I think he’ll compete early but then Loma puts the breaks on his engine by literally taking his tires!

Floyd needs to get Tank a hold of Berchelt and Farmer for WBC/IBF for experience and both are winnable fights for him!

[kidbazooka]

I think he can as long as he keeps winning.

[ippo]

What do you mean lasts? Teofimo isn't some hype job.

I mean his time in the spotlight wont be long.he might capture a belt or two.But as far as him being elite i dont see it.
