I wouldn’t even put money on him beating Luke Campbell.
Ryan Garcia is going to KO Teofimo Lopez!

You'd think Lopez would gain a lot of new fans with last night's victory but he gained a lot of new haters instead. Y'all so sad and that's just sad.Comment

Garcia, Lopez and Haney are all talented fighters. I don't see anything that puts any one of them head and shoulder above... I guess where I would question your logic is what happens when any one of these guys gets pressured. Lopez fought a great fight but did in fact get distracted, put off his game a bit, when Loma came in. I attribute that more to making an adjustment. Lopez theoretically would want nothing more than Loma to come fourth and punch it out, because of his power.Ryan Garcia is kryptonite to Teofimo's style. When he lands upstairs he is BLISTERING fast - and the power is there.
We saw tonight that Teo is a sucker for getting hit upstairs when the opponent presses him and doesn't let him get set or get range to get shots off.
I recommend you watch one or two Garcia fights and see what I'm talking about, then compare that to the punches Loma did land and you'll see what I mean.
They need to keep Teo FAR away from Garcia.
The problem for Lopez was, he was boxing Loma and did not make the mental adjustment necessary to see that he could fight his fight. I say this because according to Lopez, and I have no reason not to believe him... He is willing to take one to give one, and likes to fight.
the question for me is what does Garcia, or Haney do when pressured? How well do they maintain their abilities? A great fighter, someone like Ray Robinson, who could do everything in the ring, also could tell when it was time to switch gears. Thats part of greatness.Comment

Ryan Garcia's strong point is check shots - basically he can hit you before you hit him, by timing your throw.Garcia, Lopez and Haney are all talented fighters.

Teo relies on feints and setup jabs.
Off the setup jab, he leaves his head open if he's going for an uppercut.
Garcia would time that shot perfectly - and Teo would go down.Comment

I think it's a little early to crown him with the likes of RJJ and Mayweather. Mayweather won titles from super feather up to light middle. RJJ went from middle to heavyweight. They not only won titles, they outshone competition at each new weight.
Broner looked like a monster at his first couple of weights, I just wanna see how Teo does as his body grows into welterweight.Comment
