Looks are deceiving...but side by side here it looks like the young Lopez is being forced to do Top Rank classics like Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado cutting 25lbs to hit a certain class for belts...
Could Teofimo Lopez be a Welterweight? Compare to GGG

When you're 'comparing', I assume you only mean height? They're an inch or two apart. Teo's only 22, so he can still grow too (height)
As far as body style, yes, he's thick, he should easily finish at WW. If his reflexes stay with him as he fills out, there's a decent chance he makes MW (similar to Canelo) -
Why do you say he's being forced? Did Top Rank force Crawford or was it just an opportunity to do something in his 20s he would find difficult in his 30s? Having a size advantage is a good thing so long as your body can handle the dehydration/rehydration required.Comment
