    What awful reading comprehension. I'm quoting specifically in regards to the whole Floyd 0 as if it's the main contributer to everyone ducking and avoiding fights. If we had less divisions, one belt per division, one governing body, promoters wanting to work with each other, less greedy people, network deals, it would have a far larger impact then Floyd's whole keeping the zero.

    Anytime a duck happens people gravitate towards the 0 as if he's the sole reason that everyone is ducking. It's like people are incapable of seeing the whole picture.

    I even said I don't want to bash a fighter, but I'll spin words which was to prove a point. Make sense to you or still struggling?

    In Teo's last fight I posted this, and even though I've bashed Loma in the past, I have already said he beats everyone 135 and under.

    Your reading comprehension is awful, you're right.

    I made 2 points.

    1 about how awful your post was.

    2 about how Lopez is at fault here.

    As for your nonsense about you don't want to bash a fighter but... You didn't prove any point there neither.

    My point is in regards to is it really Floyd's 0 that is making everyone follow suit. First part wasn't about Loma and Lopez.

    As for the second part, it is in regards to Floyd not being a warrior, and I gave an example of if you put Loma in the same situation to go one division north with the same catch weight as Canelo had, would people go around bashing him for it.

    My post has nothing to do with Lopez, it's about every thread people coming up with the same bull**** and placing the blame on one thing.

    Of course it isn't Floyd's fault. It's Team Lopez's fault if the fight doesn't come off.

    Every boxer is a warrior. They risk their lives every fight.

    It's in a thread about Lopez.

    Yes, which is why I am sick of people constantly bringing up other boxers names in threads that has nothing to do with them. At least the old eastside boxing had some great photo edits to make you laugh, now it's just people arguing over the same **** over and over. I'm getting sick of it.

    As for Lopez, it shouldn't even be debated. He can barely make weight as is, this is his last shot at Loma.

    Relax. This is a boxing forum. Floyd's pervasive and unavoidable influence over the generations to come is bound to come up. As per this thread about a blatant duck by Lopez. Did ducking exist before Floyd? Obviously.

    Was it as widespread and proudly professed? No. It's a valid talking point buddy...

    That might or might not be true but irrespective that’s not my point. My point is because this is a unification which he brings a lot to the table he deserves a more equitable split of the proceeds. Loma is a great and respected fighter but he is not exactly a box office phenomenon. Victory in this fight will elevate the appeal of both fighters.

    Yes and he's getting a better split. A split which recognises what he brings to the table.

    But he turned it down.

    Think he deserves like 48% of the split.

    Lmao, Loma is the name in the division.

    If Lopez wants to be top dog, he dances to the top dogs tune.

    I did not say he was not a name I am saying he is not a big box office hut hence both champions need each other to make bigger bucks hence right Lopez gets his fair share in what is a more competitive fight.

    Teo's offered nearly TWICE his highest purse you illiterate. He's bringing one belt to the table, and getting close to TWICE his highest purse ever. Critical thinking is not your friend obviously.

    There's no guarantee victory will make any of these two a bigger star FFS. How naive can one be to believe that?

    And Loma has offered him his fair share but he doesn't want it.

    What percentage do you think is fair? I am saying a 52-48% split is fair.
