    Guess I can see it with Ryan
    Because you live in an age of internet jockeys who seem to believe their opinions and influence is more than it actually is.

His main point is that Teo shouldn't call himself the king of the division because he hasn't beaten all the top guys. His point about rehydration and natural weights was perfectly valid; Loma is above and beyond his limit, but Teo is straining himself to stay at this weight and will probably be welter in a few years.
      He beat the top guy though, and to be fair, I can't think of any current #1 guys who have defeated #2 through #5 in their division.

      With that in mind, Loma had already proven that he could compete at 135 so it's not fair to switch up the narrative just because he lost.

        A bunch of horny teenage twitter girls isn't boxing. Most buying fans are male boxing fans, like the ones on here, with some mix of casuals.
        The fact that you say he's not good for boxing is good for boxing because people will want to see the "pretty boy" get knocked out.

          Nah, I don't look at him that way. I'm fully man. His looks are for the ladies or gay men. I don't really see a boxing star. The first good big puncher would **** him up. Remember those words.

            I'm sure that plenty of fans feel like you do and would therefore tune in to see if your words come true. People that see him as a hype job wanna see him get knocked out.

              At this moment in time Lopez definitely is the guy at 135.

                But they turn around and crap on Davis for Gamboa.

                Seems legit
                Davis has been feasting on blown-up featherweights which is why he gets criticized. And they crapped on Gamboa not because of size but because Gamboa has been washed up.

                Tank's a really good fighter with a wicked, hybrid hook uppercut I haven't seen in a while.

                So, when is Tank going to step up? IMO, Floyd/Haymon are just holding the guy back.

                  If Garcia Sr. wants to prove his son is the man at lightweight he should put him in with Lopez! Make the fight and stop talking trash. Lopez is currently the #1 lightweight hands down since Loma had that title before Lopez beat him. It doesn't matter if Loma's not a natural lightweight or not. He beat all the best lightweights when he was the champ, that's all that matters. That argument has so many holes it's not funny.

                  Based on Sr.'s logic, Manny Pacquiao was never the man at junior welter or welterweight because he's more of a natural lightweight. Daddy Garcia should pipe down and let his son attempt a conquest at LW before he starts trashing Lopez. Right now his words are meaningless.

                    This kid Garcia gets it. Spence Jr should be at 160. Haney and Lopez should at 140. Young Mall Charlo should be at 168. Emotional Mell should be at 160. Banana and Hurd should be at 168. Etc, etc.

                      But they need to take away the mic from him and his dad


                      I felt the same way about Teo's dad but it turns out he's some type of fortune teller, so I won't argue with his perceived insanity. Lol
