Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Vacates WBO Junior Welterweight Title, Sticks To Retirement Claim

A ploy or mental health break, or both. Either way, leave 'em wanting more is a good thing.

He should take a break from the sport, go on a well deserved long vacation, and see later on if he wants to return.

Big fights are there for him, bigger than the Loma fight was during the pandemic, and much bigger than Taylor fight.

teo's wife may get a share of his future earning if the judges applies the rules in that way or there may be a lump sum, as far as i know but teo cant just retire and say im done and come back (like the wife will say he will do to the judge), that will be taken into account also with a good lawyer

Coward? From an anonymous poster beating his Cheeto dusted fingers about a keyboard while a professional boxer who places his life on the line any time he steps into a ring to train, spar or fight. Where TF do you get off calling a boxer a coward? Mike Tyson had is exactly right! Social media gave people an avenue to say anything they wish without risk of getting punched in the mouth.

FKN c u c k

Didn't you know? Everyone who posts here is a hall of famer!
In all seriousness you're exactly right. Everyone is in their own little narcissistic bubble where they are boxing gods with infinite knowledge that must be share with the masses.

Naw. The WBO rankings are full of Top Rank fighters as usual.

Barboza and Jose “La Gallina” Ramirez are next in line for that belt.

His ESPN contract, on which his business cannot exist without, is dependent on stars like Lopez delivering ratings in big world title fights. Lopez-Loma and Lopez-Taylor did MASSIVE numbers.

That’s why Arum went nuts over Hearn buying the rights to Lopez-Kambosis. Lopez went and fought on a service that is fighting for ESPNs market share.

It doesn’t matter what his plans going forward are, this looks bad to ESPN.
