Teofimo Lopez: "Crawford, Our Fight Will Break the Bank!"

WBO super lightweight Teofimo Lopez has thrown another fiery challenge at Terence Crawford, the reigning WBC, WBA, and WBO welterweight king:

"Crawford, dude, you tagged me a 'fake ninja' – cool, no sweat. I brush off that jab like everything else in my career. But let's get real. You're top-notch in the ring, and so am I. You crave a real scrap, and guess what? So do I. Maybe I don't look it on the outside, but I'm as tough as they come on the inside.

Here's the deal. Stick around at welterweight, and we could rake in more dough than your bout with Spence. After that, we go our separate ways, man. Me? I'm all about the fight, the thrill of the challenge. Crawford, you're the one to beat. Everyone else? Just strutting peacocks, all show, no go. As for me, I'm not playing in 3D – I'm in 8D, a whole new dimension most can't even fathom.

You've been in the ring with guys fighting their own battles. Straight up – no shade, just facts. Jose Benavidez, the dude with the knee issue? You struggled at first. Kell Brook and his busted orbital bone? That was your win. And Errol Spence, your last face-off, hasn't been the same since his crash," Lopez lays it out.

Teofimo's next step into the ring is set for February 8 against Jemaine Ortiz in Vegas. As for Crawford? His next opponent's still under wraps.
