Comments Thread For: Arum Hopes To Eventually Match Lopez Against Taylor-Ramirez Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, believes Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) will fight as high as the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Last year, Lopez shook up the sport when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Vasiliy Lomachenko to unify the WBA, WBC Franchise, WBO, IBF lightweight titles.

It'll be a great fight if it does get made.

Good. Just don't put him in with Jose Zepeda or Mario Barrios. They will pancake him.

[wrecksracer]

would Lopez take it for less than $10 million? After all, his is the biggest star in boxing (in his head)

[Bronx23]

If he doesn’t fight Loma, Tank, Haney, or Garcia (which is absolutely ridiculous) he should immediately fight the winner of RamirezTaylor. Nobody else is acceptable at 135 if it ain’t any of the guys mentioned above since according to Teo, none of them are “worthy”

[Nightfall]

The big money fights are at 135.

[SteveAnitaSmith]

Lopez will only fight the winner for $20 million

Mr no more tall guys for me is being considered in being thrown to the wolves by his promoter

"...the victory Lopez achieved over Lomachenko is the biggest 'impact win' by an American fighter..."

Last time I checked, Andy Ruiz was American.

Ruiz, a late replace, KNOCKED OUT undefeated Anthony Joshua, who was built like a brick house and had knocked out the majority of his opponents up to that point.


Teofimo pulled diva tactics leading up to his CLOSE decision win against Lomachenko, a smaller guy who had already lost to Salido, who he failed to even drop.


...Nah, I'm not going to agree with this bold quote here. Not even close.

Hope so so he can be brought back to reality once they whoop his ass,dudes attitude became insufferable over night with that one win. Both Taylor and Ramirez are skilled big ass juniors,a far cry from Loma. ****,throw him in there with Prograis or Chon and let's see how long that "takeover" nonsense last.
