Is Teofimo Lopez A Hall of Famer Already?

It was in one of my threads I think. I definitely remember you saying it. Good call man, did you wager any money on it?I don't know if you remember, but on a bold prediction thread, I said Lopez will beat Lomachenko. I want to say it was from 2019, I don't really recall. But I've been high on Lopez for a while and thought he matched up well with Lomachenko. He's young but that didn't prevent him from CHASING a match up against Lomachenko. He's in store for a hell of a career. Will take some losses in the process, but who cares.Comment

I'm not a gambler but I would have recommended this for those that do lol.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was in one of your threads.
Lopez just has a crazy self-belief. He really thought Lomachenko was not on his level at the age of 21. He's different man lol.Comment

I honestly thought he was setting himself up for a huge fall, I’m not keen on the dad and felt he was giving Teofimo false confidence and putting too much pressure on him. However, he talked the talk and walked the walk. Full credit to him...Comment

I’d say no but this is NSB. Much crazier things have been posted.
Anyone remember in 2017 when Loma beat Marriaga and that led people to post he’d beat Floyd in that thread?
If beating Marriaga At 130 means you can beat Floyd at 135, then is it wrong to post that beating Loma makes you a hof’er?Comment

I think a lot of people were in the same camp as you in that Lopez was setting himself for a schooling. But the Lopez's legit were not as impressed with Lomachenko as everyone else. I've always said Mikey and Lopez both were bad match ups for Lomachenko...In different ways but those two guys wouldn't let Lomachenko use all his angles and had power to get his respect.
But Lomachenko to his credit did not go down without a fight. He showed his greatness making that late charge, just was too little too late. You pretty much have to fight a perfect fight to win after getting in that big of a deficit.Last edited by KTFOKING; 10-19-2020, 05:13 PM.Comment

Hall of FAME
The fighters in there must be well-known in addition to being good
Teo is very good, but he isn’t that popular yetComment

Yeah it’s very, very hard to turn a fight on it’s head especially of you’re a technical fighter and aren’t accustomed to pressing forward looking to force the action.I think a lot of people were in the same camp as you in that Lopez was setting himself for a schooling. But they legit were not as impressed with Lomachenko as everyone else.

That’s why I have so much respect for Andre Ward as a fighter. I scored the first fight 114-113 to Kovalev but the way he bit down on his gum shield and turned that fight around was so impressive.
Would you be interested in a rematch? I do think Loma could perform much better but he will have to take more risks so Lopez will have a much better chance of catching, hurting or even stopping him.Comment
