Comments Thread For: Lopez: I Can Make 135 Again; I'll Be Fully Hydrated, Better, Faster, Stronger At 140

But he lost to a B fighter Castillo who Corrales KO'd

You say what? Who lost?. Teo looked like Dog S#hit against Nakatani who is a C - level opponent yet great against Loma what’s your point?

[Noelanthony]

Do you think Lomachenko would have won if he pulled a Floyd and put a 133 pound catchweight on Lopez

I don’t recall floyd ever being the bigger fighter in the ring apart from against Marquez but he had a 2 year lay off.

He's only 23 and way ahead of where Floyd was same age... I'll also add, Teo is a stronger puncher, has better character, a bigger heart, better IQ and more charisma over Floyd..

Good grief, idiot of the year

Why do you care who's the A side and B side? Stick to being a fan and let the boxer's team worry about that stuff. smh

I worry because if a fighter prices himself out or does not make concessions when it is clear they should, then the fight doesn’t happen at all. I am definitely looking at this from a fans perspective. I want to see the young guns face each other and this is a solid fight against two guys under 25 facing off. Not often you get fights this big this soon, and many times it is because neither fighter wants to make concessions.

Thanks for the advice though.

You miss the mark both Lomachenko and Floyd were the smaller guys we got that ? both Canelo and Floyd had the 154 belts Floyd ask for a 152 pound catch weight do we comprehend so far ? I'm asking a hypothetical question if Lomachenko pulled a Floyd and ask for a catch weight like Floyd did and ask Lopez to come in at 133 rather than 135 . Do you think Lopez would still win or would he be drained like Canelo was

I think Tank will fight Gary Russell Jr. or Ryan Garcia after LSC. Maybe Shakur Stevenson? I don't think he wants any part of Lopez! Haney wants that smoke with anyone! He wants a big fight! The problem is how to get it??? I think his best chance is to fight the Garcia vs. Campbell winner on DAZN!

Of those 3, tank would most likely face Gary Russell. He presents the least amount of risk imo. His team has made it clear they are more interested in building a “star” than taking the best fights.

You too do not understand but that’s what I’m hear for to break it down for you. I get your hypothetical Point but honestly Lomachenko Doesn’t have the star power so I don’t think he could do s#hit even if he wanted to. Would he beat Lopez if Lopez was at 133? Possibly especially when Lopez struggles to make 135 anyway. I don’t think Lopez will agree Jose.
Now Mayweather operates at 147. He was the cash cow. To fight at 152 thats 5 pounds. Loma has been fighting at 135 but is best at 130 so he is giving his rivals 5lbs. Now Canelo was huge as I’m sure you were aware. In any case scratch that , do you think if Canelo had the extra 2 pounds he would have won hypothetically speaking? And also hypothetically speaking was he silly to agree to Mayweather’s terms?
Does it annoy you till this day Jose? Lopez has made you proud why are you still thinking about yesterday’s news its a new era , enjoy it

I would not underestimate GRJ @ 130! He's much better than Gamboa @ 135! I wish Haney was fighting GRJ instead of Gamboa! Tank vs. Shakur @ 130 would be a great fight too, but I think Shakur would want to have the WBO title first. Arum should put Stevenson vs. Herring on the undercard of Fury's next fight!

Totally agree, imagine if that was Prograis raining power punches on him and catching him clean. Even Jose Zepeda would knock him out if he doesnt tighten up his defense at 140. Some folks are even saying a Lopez-Crawford or even a Spence fight at 147 would be ideal in the future lol!

This . Taylor looked like he'd been in a car crash after fighting Prograis . His power is another level from Loma
