Teofimo Lopez took to social media today to complain about the top rating, saying it is “Very expensive” For them to blame President Todd DeBoeuf.
Lopez claims that Dubov has not “loved” him and his father since 2018, which is why he has not been getting the important matches he desires. Fans see this as just a case of Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs) failing to perform.
He lost to George Kambosos Jr. and has struggled in numerous fights since moving up to 140 in 2022. Increasingly, he looks like a fool with his rants on social media, talking about this and that.
Teofimo says he wants “Acquisition number.“This is something he actually asked for in a recent post on X.
Past performance
WBO light welterweight champion Lopez, 27, wants fights against Devin Haney, Terence Crawford, Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia and Jaron “Boots” Ennis. However, these battles were not achievable yet. He's just not popular enough to get it, and several lackluster performances he's had in the past four years have contributed to that.
Lopez looked like 24-karat gold in the first four years of his career from 2016-2020, but has failed to perform at the same level since 2021. It is clear to fans that Teofimo has been fool's gold from the start, and he has never been as good as the fans think he is.
His narrow win over the one-armed, older and undersized Vasiliy Lomachenko was the defining moment of Te'o's career. It's been all downhill since his fights against these guys:
-Steve Claggett
-Jamin Ortiz
-Josh Taylor
-Sandor Martin
– Pedro Campa
– George Kambosos Jr.
The highest rank was maintained Teofimo's head is above the waterline By how he has matched up over the last four years. If they had gotten him into fights with some of the assassins he was complaining about, he would have lost many times and would have been useless to them. It pretty much is, anyway. Teofimo's comments outside the ring make him difficult to like, and some fans question his sanity.
A history of hatred?
I'm too expensive for TopRank, but the truth is that Todd DeBouf is the problem here. He has not loved me or my father since I started TAKEOVER EST. 2018 and perhaps before that. He's now Chairman of TopRank, so people are doing the math. Under the law I have freedom of expression 🔺👁️ #boxing
