Comments Thread For: Taylor: Genuine Dislike Here; Lopez Has Been Disrespectful; I'm Gonna Make Him Pay Saturday

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Josh Taylor has taken genuine offense to some of Teofimo Lopez's trash talk during the buildup toward their 140-pound title fight. The Scotsman's patience has worn thin while listening to Lopez, whom he has called "a clown" and "a real piece of ****" when they've spent time promoting their fight together. Taylor admitted during their final press conference Thursday at Madison Square Garden that the animosity between them is real, not merely manufactured drama to help promote their fight for Taylor's WBO junior welterweight title.

Taylor is lucky he is a boxer because if not he would be battered by someone because he is genuinely a thoroughly unlikeable moron. Racist and just generally delusional he has no redeeming qualities but the Scots suck him off because he is Scottish.

Baffles me how even Scots support Taylor. Im all for supporting your own and cheering for your countrymen but Taylor hasnt got anything to like about him and his attitude would infuriate anyone

Whereas Teo, he's a real charmer...

Taylor may have to make some adjustments. There will be some shots thrown that would normally connect high on the head that will go through clean air because of the half-forehead that Teo has.

He’s no choir boy for sure, but boxing doesn’t really need those.

I could see Taylor just outclassing Teofimo pretty badly.

It almost seems like the Loma fights was the exception, not the rule, for Teo's talent level. Maybe Loma's small size was a factor too.
