    So if Lopez is green all that’s going to do is look worse for Loma if he gets caught like Commey and gets KTFO!

        teofimo is the bizarro tank. tank won a belt and hid for 4 years from legit competition

          Reason being Canelo was called green for Floyd yet he was a unified champ/ring champ had 6 title defenses and had been pro for 8 years with 43 fights

          I am just saying can people not be so openly biased?
          I know what you are hinting at Larry and I agree. Teofimo is still very green in his boxing career. Even more so than Canelo was when he fought Floyd and Lopez is going up an exceptional fighter in Lomachenko

          But if we are being 100% truthful Mayweather is far better than Lomachenko which is not a diss towards Loma. Is it fair to hold Mayweather to such high standards and critique? No it is not but at the same time it is a testament to how great Mayweather was.

            I agree that Tank should have been fighting better fighters in a lot of those fights. Hopefully this will lead to legitimate fights from this point on. There is no excuse to avoid them.

                Here are the odds that favored Carl Frampton ( -187 (8/15) leading up to the rematch. As you can see, Leo Santa Cruz defied the odds in the past, but the boxingscene keeps disregarding a true P4P superb talent, whos more motivated than ever to prove the doubters wrong, AGAIN.
                Why did he not grant Frampton a trilogy after their 2 close fights then? And why did he duck Rigo lol! Anyhow, I really think that if Davis shows up healthy @130, he would KO Santa Cruz within 6. Leo is a very good fighter but not great in my book

                  He's not gonna be able to make 135 much longer so might as well make the fight now.

                    i agree, what's the point of being a champion if you aren't ready for chalenges. but there are a lot of idiots here picking teo to beat loma, the same idiots who will label him as green as soon as loma beats him.

                      Similar situations but the catch weight is a big difference. And also Teo's talk makes it different too. He is barking way more than Canelo was so expectations are higher for him. Style-wise this is a tougher fight for Loma imo (than Canelo at that time was for Floyd). Teo can hurt Loma with one shot. Canelo never really had a chance to do that vs Floyd.
