    Fighters like Ryan Garcia and Teofimo doing what over young.....

    Guys are not.

    Teo stepped up to the biggest stage and proved he’s the best at 135lb.

    Now Ryan is doing it with a prime world class proven fighter who just went the distance in a tough fight with the former p4p best.

    Guys like Shakur, Haney and Tank need to take note because all those guys are doing is facing old, garbage, much smaller guys and taking zero risk.

    Boxing needs guys like Ryan who win or lose is stepping up and taking chances just like Teo did.

      I mean lets be serious. Luke ain't Loma. Teo is out here doing sh^t NO OTHER young cat is doing. Loma was a top 3 P4P discussed guy by many & even considered #1 by some. Luke is just a solid top 5 guy in the division.

        Respectfully, Luke isn't LSC though. And Loma was a high reward fight, 3 belts and he looked ripe for the taking based off of his not so inspiring performances against guys like Linares, Campbell, Pedraza. Richard Commey is just as good as those 3 and Teo smashed him out of there fast.

          Lopez stepped up big time. Ryan Garcia is stepping up but not to that extent. I'll give Haney and Stevenson a bit more time to line up some serious fights. But most def Tank Davis has been lame.

            You do realize Luke is a much better fighter at 135 than LSC was at 130 right?

            That fight was BS from the get go.

              Teo I get & agree with, kudos to him but why is this kid getting so much praise for stepping up and fighting Luke Campbell? A guy who has lost everytime he has stepped up. He had a lengthy amateur career & 20 pro fights, this is the sort of level a decent prospect should be fighting at this stage.
              No idea why certain fans are acting like this kids fighting some monster.

              I've seen nothing to suggest Luke Campbell would even beat majority second tier sort of fighters like Richard Commey or Nakatani.
              I think Fortuna would've blitzed him tbh

                Here's the thing though. What LSC did at 122-126 is far better than anything Campbell did at 135. And its not like Campbell is that great at 135, his accomplishments are holding his own with Linares, who I think is highly overrated, and kinda holding his own against Loma, who I also think is overrated. Well, maybe Loma is good, but he just isn't that great at 135. I thought Loma's wins against GRJ, Walters, and Rigo were great, Walters was considered by many to be p4p, Rigo df p4p although disadvantaged size wise.

                However at 135, Linares, Campbell, Pedraza, none of these guys are really that great. And Loma didn't have the greatest performances in any of them. I excused him for getting hit too much against Linares since it was his first test at 135. But 3 strikes and you're out, you know?

                  Hey, I like this fight for Ryan though. It makes the most sense after Fonesca and if he wins dominantly he proves he can probably compete at the top level of 135.

                    That’s like me saying Luke Olympic Gold medal means more that LSC record.

                    At the end neither mean much because this is the pros and Lcs was already an average fighter who’s best win was also a guy who beat him he was slow as fuccck at 122 already so at 130 he was nothing more than a journeymen level.

                    That’s why like I said Luke is a much better fighter at 135 than LSC is at 130 that’s a fact.
