Teofimo Lopez reminds me of Broner 2.0

[Ray*]

You know what I hope Loma and Lopez fight this year. I'm tired of all these haters claiming Loma is ducking this prospect. Let them eat crow. Fighting Loma will give this kid a dose of cold reality. Wouldn't even be surprised if he quits tbh. His ego gets crushed. F#k me for wanting champions to fight each other. Let's just create a Lubin 2.0

People never learn smh. Kid has great potential but you're a casual if you don't think he should beat someone legit before fighting a p4p top 3 fighter.

You know what fuck what they say, I hope that fight doesn’t happen yet. It’s not a fair fight at this point. Let him prove himself in a good fight first. We have already seen excuses AFTER Loma beat someone on here. So that isn’t going to change with a win over Lopez who at best right now is a prospect. Is he even better than Haney at this point? Exactly....

[Larry the boss]

why are people so mad and against this guy?? Loma got a title shot in his 2nd fight based on what?

[jmrf4435]

I really would like to see loma beat him up

It will happen

[Curt Henning]

I didn't say it means nothing, so quit putting words in my mouth. All I said was that Lomachenko was green when he fought Salido.


Loma didn't do anything to deserve Salido that early in his career, but Salido wanted the fight. Loma has no plans to fight Lopez, so the latter needs to prove that he's worth the former's time.

im not putting words in your mouth...thats exactly what you said

and if loma doesnt want the fight its because he thinks lopez is a big threat

paper belts mean little to someone who is at no worse than #2 on every p4p list

[Curt Henning]

No Loma fans just want to see him fight other champions in his weight class. If Lopez becomes a champion that would be a great fight. You sound like a hater and it looks like you just want Loma in a fight where you have a build in excuse if he beats your boy Lopez. If he has a belt you can't make that "he wasn't ready" excuse anymore. You know Lopez will run to 140 soon so you can claim Loma was ducking when he was actually fighting other champions. I know your type. Pathetic haters. Why? Idk you tell me why you dislike the guy so much...

what does a guy who is consensus no worse than #2 on every p4p list need paper titles for?

ggg never unified and it didnt stop him from getting the fight he wanted.....

people should want the best matchups...not guys collecting paper belts that have little meaning

if someone goes chasing loma its not cause he holds belt x, y, and z...its because hes a payday...hes a prestigious p4p rated opponent and youre headlining on espn....its not cause he holds some ibf belt

wanting paper titles is an excuse to duck fights...we saw golovkin use it when he said he wasnt interested in ward....but still chased a guy that dumped a belt....guys only talk that "i want the belts" stuff but it has little meaning and value...especially for an established name like loma.....if youre some no name guy without all the pedigree and fanfare...than maybe yeah you want some belts.....

lopez is not my "boy"...im not some huge lopez superfan...tahts never been the point here....which i guess youve obviously missed

everyone knows lopez is going to 140 soon...he said so....so that means bob should get on it now....but you will excuse him not doing by saying lopez hasnt earned it...which is an obvious cop out

lopez would the slimmest dog loma could possibly face right now sans mikey and tank.....thats just reality....no matter what belt he does or doesnt have

[Slicc]

and if loma doesnt want the fight its because he thinks lopez is a big threat

Yeah, a guy with a record of 12 cab drivers is apparently a big threat for Lomachenko. It's guys like you that make fighters like Lopez get fucked up and take losses early.

paper belts mean little to someone who is at no worse than #2 on every p4p list

Lopez is an untested prospect. He's not a champion, anybody's mandatory, or even a cash cow, so why should Lomachenko fight him over world champions like M. Garcia or Commey? This does nothing for Loma in terms of business or legacy, but casuals like you are hyping up Lopez like he's the next Mayweather, just because he looked good beating up tomato cans. Guess what? Lomachenko isn't one of Lopez's panhandlers.

[j0zef]

They're nothing alike. You're just trying to protect Loma against the haters who are using Teo. They're both good fighters, let them be.

[ippo]

Actually Tank davis reminds me of broner.

[Punch on Tap]

Because he’s confident and calling out afighter so he can try to take his crown sooner than later?

When did Broner call out the current P4p #1? How does Lopez remind you of Broner? Is it his 100% focus and dedication to boxing and his family? Or is it his criminal past? Or is it simply his confidence and borderline arrogance?

They couldn’t be more different. You can see the passion and drive in Lopez. And maybe because I’m a New Yorker, his verbal expression is nothing out of the ordinary.

He still needs to prove himself but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the right to call out all the top dogs if he feels like he’s ready.

Stop getting caught up in an isolated boxing media site. He is no hype job...the average casual barely knows his name. There is no hype...only from the boxing mini social media video bloggers. No one from Max Kellerman to Steve A Smith is hyping him.

Stop comparing everyone to everyone. These are fighters and the ones with 0 confidence like Crolla are not who I want to see fight Loma. Because they lose before they step in the ring.

The best matchups are unifications... definitely Mikey Garcia and Davis. Since they are both mentioned as fellow p4p guys.
Lopez has done nothing to suggest he can compete with Loma. It's not a good fight until he beats someone good. I think Commey vs Loma is currently a more intriguing matchup than Loma vs Lopez. A guy who's best win is a washed up Magdaleno coming off a long lay off is not someone I want to see in with Loma sorry. I'm not totally against the fight but I'd rather see Loma fight more proven fighters so he will get credit. You're one of the only guys who feels that way. I think Undisputed is very important in this day and age. It's to prove you are the one and only champion in your weight class: the best. What you think of that is irrelevant, that has been Loma's goal for years. He wants to become Undisputed like his friend Usyk. He said that before Lopez showed up so stop acting like it's some duck maneuver. It's pathetic. How can you even call yourself a boxing fan? Would rather watch a p4p fighter beat up a prospect than see him unify and become undisputed...my gosh.
