    He really is the best of the “5 Kings” so far…

    He was younger, bigger and stronger.

    Slower, drained and poor stamina.

    You could argue that Teo was struggling to still make 135 too.

    He looked huge at the weight.

    Perhaps, but Canelo was struggling to make 154 but he had to drop down to 152.

    Canelo made 154 even a couple of years after the Floyd fight. I can't see Lopez ever fighting at 135 again. But, yes, going down to 152 can't have been a hoot for Canelo, who was over 170 in the ring against Trout.

    Talk about Loma being robbed against Teo and deserving an immediate rematch is just pure delusion. Just rewatched the first six. Loma landed one power punch and a handful of jabs during the first half. How he, or anyone, feel he should have won beyond me. And why on earth should he get an immediate rematch without a rematch clause and losing clearly in a unification bout? Just absurd.

    A great performance by Lopez. He's going off the rails Fury style presently, but he deserves great credit for this one.
