Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Teofimo Lopez: If You Have Belt, I'll Fight You

[SugarRaRobinson]

Saying “I’m only going after belt holders” is like a offensive holding penalty in football. It can be used at anytime at a fighters discretion to avoid certain fighters, just like it can be used in football to control the game since there’s literally holding on every down. Ggg used this same excuse to line up Can after Can.

Fact is, the Bobfather is controlling the show, and I doubt he feels it to be a smart business move to pin two of his top fighters against each other as it’s bad for business because someone would be diminished. But ultimately u have to blame the fighters because if they’re not speaking out against their promoters control mechanisms, (if that’s the case)
then it solely falls on the fighter.

All Lomachenko is missing is offering his purse up as bet and he'll have the boxing cliche trifecta.

"I'll fight for free" - Check
"If you have a belt I'll fight you" - Check
"I'll bet my purse against yours" - ??????

Don't understand why he wants Teofimo Lopez with a title. It sounds Canelish...

Lopez just needs to become mandatory or go for the wbc if Mikey vacates

That's going to take too much time. Lopez says he won't be able to make 135 lbs much longer.

He'd like to try his chances against Lomachenko before he permanently has to move up in weight.

Lopez have not have any 12 rounds fights but yeah he is real deal because he knocking out bums easaly. For sure he deserved a title shot. FYI I don't mind to see this fight next but I am afraid the same mismatch as was Rigo fight. Put Lopez with someone with a pulse - current or former champ would be perfect

why bother arguing about this fight? we all know its not happening

loma is one of the faces of the espn boxing program....hes one of bobs crown ***els....and lopez is 21 and hes one of bobs future crown ***els who could be even bigger attraction than loma is now if things go right

bob isnt risking putting an L on one of these guys when he can easily wait a year or so and have lopez out of lomas weight range and just say "lopez is too young" in the meantime

if bob were to make this fight this year ill come here and take my medicine...but its not happening...bob knows he can easily avoid this one and theres no point for him to do it...other than us hardcores would love it

especially when one of the guys is 21-22 years old and will be out of the others guys weight range in another year or so...

Boringchenko is a chicken He begged to fight Tank Davis for free but won't Teofimo for a huge payday.

Probably figures Lopez is way more dangerous than Crolla.
