    That's not how boxing works today though. You lose your 0 and your stock drops tremendously, especially if you're an obnoxious fighter like Teo. Canelo getting schooled by Floyd didnt affect him since he already had a built fanbase and it wasn't based him off being obnoxious. If Broner never got his ass beat by Maidana and took all those L's he'd be a PPV star now.

    You're taking words too literally. When Loma says who's that guy, he's not pretending not to know him, he's saying he ain't ****.

    Christ here we go again. Same **** different weight class. In my honest opinion Lopez looks good and looks like he is going to be very good. Im not sure i see greatness in him. Maybe im wrong, time will tell and hes certainly not going in the wrong direction to be great. But I think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves regarding this guy and the way hes talking about Loma i think hes also getting a bit ahead of himself. I think if he fought Loma now he would get embarrassed. There should be no rush to make this fight, if he really wants it and its not just bluster or trying to make a bt of fame off of another fighters back his management would be smart to talk him out of it.

    Nothing wrong with a loss on your record, especially so early in your career against a guy like Loma but you dont want to see him get made to look like a fool against him. Which he would. I dont think he would ever be good enough to beat Loma but right now hes just TOO GREEN. Dont ruin him the man is an exciting fighter we want to see him progress.

    Does he beat Loma?

    More than likely no, however I would love to see it. The kid has great talent, whereas Loma is a great, great fighter.

    Even losing to Vasyl but giving him a fight is worth seeing surely?

    You re kidding,arent you,eh!!!??
    Loma doesnt want it,eh!HH Hilarious! Lopez is a great talent,nothing more at this point of his career.Sure,he has potential,but why the hell should the king of the hill care for a guy who still needs 2-3 years to reach the top of aforementioned hill.Besides Loma's hill is quite steep.A lot of things can happen within the next 2-3 years

    Yes.

    He has the speed (decent) and power (exceptional) put combinations well. A bit slow footed but not bad. He has that equalizer. And the thing is he is only 21.He is a young kid, people forget the age factor. It's only up from here and this young man will continue to improve big time. Lomahenko is 30 plus. It's up to Loma to take on this dangerous young lion.

    Not based on resume & accomplishment he won't. He's beaten no one nor won a title. Tatli is B- level at best & only had one fight since 2017 leading up to this one...

    Powerful? Yes. Untested? Very much so. Don't make unfounded statements.. Pedraza & Linares are proven at a higher level than Lopez. Regardless of whether they have stoppage losses.... Even Crolla has a better resume. Much better. Lopez is just the usual 'bogeyman' the next emotional crutch you can all hang your hat on until the fight actually happened & then you'd all drop him like a shot once Loma dances round him & it would be onto the next Lopez..

    21 years old with only 13 fights? Its impossible for him to beat Loma. This guy is getting hyped up only because 135 is a weak division.

    Teo is so many levels above anyone loma has fought throughout his entire life it's not evem funny how loma fans are terrified of this kid destroying loma which he would 100 out of 100 x.

    If loma and his team believe he's 1/1000000 the fighter his fans think he'd be begging Teo to face him now

    Loma has been feasting on mismatches. The fact that you guys keep defending Loma from a 21 yr old is hilarious. WTF, are you Bob Arum or what? I thought we wanted to see boxers boxing each haha wtf?
