Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia's Father: Lopez is Not 'King' at 135, He Beat a 130-Pounder

[HandsofIron]

Ryan Garica's pops knows his boxing, all facts right there.

If anything I got from the Teo-Loma fight is that Teofimo is vulnerable, he doesn't know how to fight on the inside or what to do when the pressure is put on him. Teo almost got beat by a former featherweight, says a lot really.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Davis has been feasting on blown-up featherweights which is why he gets criticized.

Ok, so then Teofimo should get criticized for recently "feasting" on a "blown up featherweight" that just happened to win titles at an upper class.

Ultimately, we need to be consistent.

Holds all the belts, he is the top dog because he beat the #1 ranked LW as well. People sure are thick these days.

DOESN'T hold all the belts: Haney has one he needs to be undisputed.

Yeah he is ranked #1 but not UNDISPUTED.

For that he would need to prove it by beating at least one or two of the others, including world champion Haney.

Calling people thick after writing a post full of errors like that is just... embarrassing.

You can’t be undisputed without the wbc belt, so he needs to beat the email champ Devin Haney to be the undisputed champion ..and to be the lightweight king teofimo needs to beat tank n Kingry too

I agree with most of what you said, but the last part. Most Mexican Americans are in the same boat. They don't know Spanish well either. If they speak fluent Spanish they are probably just Mexican. It's even rare for the first Gen to speak Spanish when they know English.

Depends where you live. Usually it is not until the 2nd born generation where they start to tapper off knowing Spanish. If they are 3rd born or higher then it is a very slim chance that they know Spanish. It also depends on their environment. When I grew up I did not know how to speak Spanish but I understood it. Almost every other Mexican-American I knew spoke it though. They also had friends and family their age who spoke it.

In the areas where Mexicans have been for a while is where you will see a drop off in who speaks it anymore. Look to heavily populated areas in SOCAL and SF/SJ in the Bay Area as an example.

Technically he does not. The Franchise belt is not a true belt regardless what the WBC officially says AFTER the fight. Lopez petitioned the WBC to make the belt legit just so he could call himself undisputed and make history. It is still a made up belt although Loma did have the true WBC belt at one point and Lopez did get the win over Loma.

I'll pick Loma over Ryan...... doe.

What are these Garcia`s smoking?

Lopez beat Lomachenko who was the man.

Since when you become the man by beating Lomachenko`s leftovers?
