  • Heavy traffic at 140.

    I hope to see him fight Barboza. Otherwise, Lopez may have to wait a little longer to see what develops from other fights.

    Hitchins is not ready yet because he needs more boxing seasoning. Not sure about Haney’s next move.

    • Barboza just got exposed by McComb on National TV. His ‘0’ is about as impressive as Haney’s at this point, I feel.

  • I think he would DESTROY Kambosos in a rematch
    at 140. Teo is actually too big for 140. He should just move up to 147 and fight Benn. Then he should
    catch Ryan Garcia after his suspension is over with.
    Haney would be easy work for Teofimo.

  • he doesn’t take on real challenges unless they are injured or weight drained or coming off long layoffs or all of the above. he uses others’ name like crawford and davis for attention only as any knowledgeable boxing fan knows he wont fight them. now he is hanging around canelo for more attention. — Sad .

  • He needs to man up and fight Ryan Garcia. Lopez vs Ryan is the fight at 140 or 144. If Lopez is scared just say he’s scared. I think he has the skill to win.

  • Needs to retire, he quit in front of the world, nothing wrong I guess but quitting is a no no. Anyways enjoy retirement.

  • Teo, lose the girlie earrings bro.
    Throwback fighters should not wear those blasted things. If your grandpa did not wear earrings you shouldn’t either.
