Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez, who you got and why?

I’ve seen Teo fight twice in person.He’s not that big of a guy.

 

He’s more of true 140. Rolly is a true 140/147 like Crawford.

 

Hope it’s a good fight but I see Teo taking a cozy decision without much fireworks

 

Lopez is overrated, a great athlete but his boxing IQ is poor. He’s outright lost to a journeymen and two fringe guys ran him close. His power and size are gone now that he’s moved up.

I don’t rate Romero highly either but he probably a bit better than people give him credit for. He hits like a truck too.

This is to say I think this will be a competitive fight not a blowout for Lopez.

 

Just messing around, I think my avatar looks funny as hell, did love Earthquake though, massive scary dude, was a good sumo wrestler in Japan before joing the WWF too.

 

Only lived to 43. Sadly many wrestlers passed away early. Big Boss Man, Warrior, many, many more of that generation. Yokozuna only lived to 34. Davey Boy Smith 40. Owen Hart 34. Andre The Giant 47.

 

Yeah and I can't believe he was only 28 the year he took on Hogan at summerslam, he looked far older.

 

Earthquake was a great athlete in high school, college and as young man. He competed internationally in free style wrestling, D1 in college, play for the LSU football team with little to no experience, played rugby there too, went to Japan and became on of the first westerners to have success in sumo and he likely would have continued to climb the ranks had he stuck with it.

 

**** 28? He looked 48 back then. Which is about an old 58 of today.

Mad.

 

Yeah, man Tenta's size doing a drop kick is impressive.

The dad is an interesting discussion, his son has become a three division world champion so is it in spite of his trainer or because of him? He seems like jekyll and hyde, the ultimate hype man and belligerent troll depending on which round it is, yet he’s still there and his son continues to carve out an interesting legacy for himself despite being an inconsistent fighter. Would he go on to cement his status as one of the greats if he made his father take a backseat? The dad seems like he’d do better with someone to train him to chill out sometimes tbh lol.
