Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: I'll Show Everyone How To Beat Lomachenko!

[Ray*]

Floyd is not sending Tank to ESPN, and Arum is not sending Loma to SHO/FOX, so it's a moot point! Everyone compares Tank to Loma. You can't see a story about Loma without a comment about Tank, or vice versa! My point, to these people, is stop calling for the impossible, when there are great things for Loma that are very possible, i.e., Miguel Berchelt @ 130 or 135, and Teofimo Lopez at 135!

Again NO one is comparing Loma to Tank, We all know that fight isnt happening, Tank davis doesn't have the balls. Yes the excuse is the networks.

See how that happened? When we turn Lopez around to Davis you guys all of a sudden start getting defensive.

Again some of you guys are only on the Lopez train because of Tank davis lack of heart. If that is the narrative that you guys are pushing underneath your post.... So bloody obvious.

Can't wait for this fight. This will be the challenge of Loma's career. Teofimo can do it all, and do it all with much more size, power, even reach, and he has good footwork too. Its a unique and rare matchup. Hope it happens fall 2019 after Teofimo gets the WBC or IBF.

Lopez might be a great option, down the line.

He has no top 10 wins, no belts, and is not even a mandatory.

If I was Lomachenko, I would be looking for a fight with Berchelt, Commey, and of course, Mikey Garcia.

Lopez looks good and is quite young, but the problem is he hasn't fought anyone. Not even a former world champion.

What credit does Lomachenko get for beating a fighter without anything of note on his resume? The answer is simple: none.

all aboard the hype train toot toot ^^

Does nothing for him, he has beaten better fighters than Lopez previously and didn’t get any sort of credit. The Walters, Gary Russell or Rigo, and it was he duckin doe.

I think Lopez would be a great fight for him down the line, it’s not Lomachenko fault that Lopez might outgrow 135, some are insinuating that Lomachenko would “wait out” for him to grow out of the division lol.

Boxing fans for you.

Yes, let it happen next. If Lopez really wants to make it worth it, then try and get that belt off Comney. It's disheartening reading comments about "He don't want it" just because he got called out.

He is at the top, younger guys, prospect and up and comers would call you out, you can't fight everyone, Lomachenko ambition is to unify and be undisputed, not fighting prospects.

If Rank believe so much in Lopez then they would make the fight next, Lopez is the one begging rank to make the fight, they themselves don't think he is ready yet, Lopez stands to be more of a cash cow for To rank then lomachenko if they play their cards right, this is why Top rank would NOT put him in there yet. I love his ambition and everything but there are levels to this s hit.

The only reason Loma is being attacked here is because we all know Tank Davis doesn't want that work, so now we are jumping on the 12 fights prospect to validate whatever narratives suits us. Am losing my heart with "Boxing fans"

You don't consider the above hypocritical. You were just talking about how you don't like that kind of talk. I mean, why even bring Tank Davis into this discussion.

Obviously the fight isnt **** TODAY, but if Lopez can beat a top 5 guy in the summer impressively, he shoots to #2 in the division, and becomes proven, and everyone already sees the size, speed, power, footwork, skills, etc, so all he needs is one fight to prove he's ready, like Canelo vs Trout before Floyd, and then it's a huge fight for the fall. And yeah I know Canelo ended up performing like **** so that might convince you that actually, that fight wasn't ready to be made, and actually, Loma-Teofimo would be the same bull****, but you have to remember, Floyd-Canelo happened at a catchweight. Canelo was drained. The Canelo that looked semi-ready vs Trout was not the same Canelo, physically, as fought Floyd. Loma isn't like that. He will fight Teofimo at Teofimo's best, at 135 a real division. Not only that, but Canelo had a reach disadvantage vs Floyd making it hard to cut the distance. Teofimo has a reach ADVANTAGE over Loma. Additionally, Canelo's problem was compounded by the fact he had no footwork or ability to cut the ring. Teofimo has footwork, hes a more more skillful, varied, nuanced, and complete boxer at this age than Canelo was. But even now Canelo's footwork isn't the best, hes just been fighting old opponents. If he fought Saunders or even someone better than that with that style like a 160 Loma or Floyd, you'd still see the same flaws. Even slow old GGG was able to outbox him off the backfoot in many respects.

Teofimo is a different fighter. Just because the situations are similar doesn't mean they're the same. There are key differences here that make Loma-Teofimo probably the fight of loma's career this december, as Loma may already be declining. Teofimo just needs a prove it fight first in the summer, which by most accounts is happening. Cant wait.

[Drigo]

Who's this overrated guy has fought? He over hyping himself too much...

[indelible]

Hopefully Loma takes the fight with the guy that's is in his stable, instead of chasing fights (Mikey and Tank) that are not gonna happen! I think Lopez is just as good as Tank, that's why Pedraza don't want no smoke!

Lopez has terrible defense. Kid leaves himself open for counters

[SugarRaRobinson]

I don't think he'll beat Lomachenko but I love his confidence. He clearly has no fear of fighting Lomachenko unlike that ***** Gervonta Davis hiding behind his daddy Floyd and Ellerbe.

Don’t forget that the pendulum swings both ways, and that B.tch Loma ducked Mikey by ignoring his requests for a fight until Mikey moved up, then it was “I’ll fight Mikey next”

Loma might also stall out Lopez’s timeline and wait for Lopez to move up in 2020 (once it’s safe) to then say he wants to fight Lopez next.

Loma too busy playing the safe route, waiting for smaller divisional guys with big names to move up to fight him cause it’s the safer route. He’s had success going that route when he did it to Rigo.
