    Lopez is good but there are lots of strong young dudes and Loma at 135 so nothing would surprise me. I wouldn’t be surprised if Loma won the rematch (if it happens) or if Garcia knocks out Lopez. I’d favor Lopez in the matchup but Ryan has one punch power and is large. We saw how bad Lopez looked against that tall Japanese guy and Ryan has way more power. Loma waited too long to step on the gas but I don’t expect it to happen if they fight again. Of course Lopez has the punching power to end the fight early if Loma takes too many chances. This is what makes it an interesting rematch. Haney is still green and Tank needs to step up level of opposition but they both have talent and potential ability to beat top guys, at least on paper. Can you imagine how awesome a LW tournament would be? Not going to happen but it would be great.

    If these guys fight each other, LW will be the most exciting division in boxing. It won’t do the PPV dollars of the heavier weights but I’m more excited about these potential fights than any other division.

    I rate Lopez #1 at 135 right now. But the division is very exciting to me because the competition is so strong. It would not surprise me too much if he lost to Loma, Davis, Haney, or Garcia. Each guy has some special talents, and it's hard to say what happens when any two of them meet.

    none of that matters, styles make fights. Haney outboxes tank or teo.

    Haney has never been in at that level, Lopez out-boxed Loma.

    hes a way bigger guy
    and.......neither lopez or loma seperated. That fight was 7-5 or 6-6, so what. Haney is a bigger problem then loma. Loma is to small.

    also, we will see, i predict nobody fights haney. They would easily go in and get rid of him if he wasnt that good, believe me. They all know wassup. Tank, teo, ryan dont fight haney....mark it down.

    i can see him getting put on a shelf. he is talented, but not as marketable as the rest, so he offers same risk for less reward. he also presents the possibility of a stinker, which helps nobodies future marketability. all the other guys are guaranteed drama and fireworks.

    My boy Rolly ruffled a lot of feathers today when said that not only does Kingry beat Twink but that he hits harder than him too and he should know because he's shared a ring with both of them.

    The effortless one punch one round destruction of common opponent Fonseca confirms that resoundingly too. One of Kingry's bombs sent Fonseca into such a deep sleep his brain didn't have time to transmit the message to his eyelids to close whereas it took Twink seven rounds and a foul blow to get the same Fonseca out of there.

    One of Kingry's bombs>>100s of Twink's. FACT

    Quoted for truth

    ''If ya'll really think that Twink can stop Ryan.. that Tank is a 5'3'' midget.. then you guys are bleeping stupid! Ryan punch harder than Twink. Twink is just a fat 13o pound who only fights 126 pounders''

    No, but he is longer and bigger, has a 7 inch reach advantage and doesn't have to close the distance and get inside to do his best work.

    You mean he will run in the ring. Didn't work for Loma. He is not Floyd no where near.He's a dirt poor version of Floyd. This hype job will get it!

    EASY work for teofimo imo.

    Hey I’m not disagreeing with you. Teo and Haney had the same plan and did what they were suppose to do except for Haney made two mistakes.. Loma made it clear that he wanted to be undisputed so both guys set themselves up to become mandatories.

    The mistake was Haney went the WBC who allowed Loma to fight for the vacant belt then elevated him to franchise, Teo went the IBF who remain consistent with forcing mandatories. Haney thought short term and took the biggest offer from Eddie who didn’t have any power in the 135 division, Teo initially made less money signing with Bob who guided him correctly and had also had Loma in his stable making it easier for him to get that fight.

    So right now Teo has the power thanks to his long term foresight and Haney is stuck in a bad position because he only thought short term..
