    Teofimo Lopez Says Floyd Mayweather is Finding Ways to Stay Relevant- “He Uses Tank"

    Teofimo Lopez Says Floyd Mayweather is Finding Ways to Stay Relevant- “He Uses Tank Davis”

    The unified lightweight champion of the world, Teofimo Lopez, hit back at boxing legend Floyd Mayweather after his recent comments. Earlier, Mayweather had stated that Gervonta Davis is going to be the A-side in a match-up against Teofimo Lopez.

    The comments have not gone well with the 23-year-old boxer as he rained down on Floyd Mayweather soon thereafter. “That’s Floyd you know, that’s Floyd speaking.

    “Floyd is speaking for Tank. I think Tank needs to step up, he’s a grown a** man, he needs to talk. He doesn’t need Mayweather to always talk for him,” Tank said in an interview given to iFL TV.

    Lopez criticized Mayweather for constantly speaking on behalf of Tank Davis. He also added that the former champion is trying to stay relevant by remaining in the spotlight.

    I think Mayweather is still trying to be relevant, I am gonna be honest, I am gonna be blunt. I am gonna be blunt as hell right now, I think Floyd is still trying to find ways to stay relevant. So he uses Tank Davis, he talks to the media for him.

    “Let Tank do his own talking. Let Tank be a man. Stop babying the man. I think Floyd is crazy for this man to think that Tank will be the A-side. It’s ridiculous.”

    Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis is managed by Floyd Mayweather Promotions. Needless to say, the boxing legend wants the Tank to receive a higher pay cut from the revenue if the match-up against Teofimo Lopez does take place.

      I love Floyd but thank gid those boring fights are gone, and I’m hoping Haney doesn’t become a superstar because he’s going to be just as negative style wise

        Its true, its a bad look for a man to have another man speaking for you.

        It was highlighted in the Press Buildup when Leo was there by himself speaking and Tank had Ellerbe and Mayweather there and both spoke for Tank instead of tank speaking.

          Pump the brakes,kid! Enjoy your flavor of the month for the time being! Yeah, Floyd is an attention whore and constantly craves the spotlight, we can’t dispute that. It’s bad look that he constantly wants to make every pre/post fight conference for Tank about himself.

          With that being said and with the exception of Pacquiao, Floyd is still arguably the most popular boxer in boxing today even after retirement.

            Lopez is an equal opportunity trasher and sh it talker. He has something nasty to say about everybody. He has a kind word for nobody except himself and has endless great things to say about himself. He might win some rounds in a fight with Tank but I think Tank would knock him out. Tank's punching power is at another level that Lopez has never experienced.

              Tank just had the best camp of his life finally relocating and listening to Floyd, so who exactly is being used?

                "ouuu he said something about the fighter I hate, let's make entire thread about it"

                That being said, Floyd does need to let Tank talk for himself and stop making him do stuff he did in his career that don't match his personality/image. IMO

                  I like Teofimo but Relax Kid!

                  I'm sure it is Top Rank directing him because if they make that fight of course Arum wants to be in control of everything and that is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN with Mayweather. Tank is a Draw and has momentum after that Viral Knockout So it doesn't matter who he fights next people are going to tune in for his next fight. All of these guys tunes at 135 already changing it seems! Before they all seemed ready to fight each other but now it is turning into a Business at 135 and it seems like Promoters are going to get in the way of these fights which is awful for Boxing Fans

                    Why are you triggered about it? I don’t see you calling out all the PAC/Loma/GGG hate on here. If you don’t like the thread don’t post on it. Simple.
