      You already knowing he would. People know a threat when they see one. I remember them thurman trying to downplay Spence the same way but the fighters in the division knew Spence was a threat as soon as he came on the scene.

              i thought you didnt like boogeymen? now you are creating one out of thin air with a compltely unproven guy. he hasn't even beaten a top 10 fighter and hes a threat hmmm ok based on smashing cans but we should all know thats easy to do by now because you said it over and over but you forgot now??? ggg beat like 10 top fighters and he wasnt legit but lopez is my god you must be dizzy from the spin

                and i remember berto, broner, etc...some guys turn into top fighters and some dont. we shouldnt crown them until it happens but people who hated on ggg and called him a bum basher with 10 top wins now think 0 top 10 win lopez is a threat and people are ducking him. not tribalist at all

                    Broner while being a weight bully struggled with Ponce. Everyone excused it but the writing was on the wall Daggum. The sign to look out for is other fighters refusing to fight him or asking for a **** load of money to do it. Fighters at the world level know what they are looking at way more than us fans do. Tell me who ever feared or avoided Berto or Broner that was world class. You could maybe make a case for Ricky Burns for Broner.

                      Eff yes, he would have put up a much better fight than Crolla. Chances are he would have gone the distance. He is still young and very strong.

                      Loma would have had his work cut out for him; Even though I am not saying that he wouldn't have eventually won the fight but the facts remain the same that Teofimo would have given him a much more highly competitive and hotly contested bout than Crolla.
