He said it yesterday. He wants to be undisputed at 147. Which is fine and will look good from a legacy point of view. But unless those dudes fighting at 147 find ways to put on some exciting fights to the point where people wanna see their next fights, it probably won't mean much.

So he made a decision that he felt was best for him. Because whether he's Matchroom, Top Rank, PBC, or Golden Boy. It doesn't change the 147 landscape
147 is damn near a wasteland. I mean Mario barrios trash ass is a vacated title away from being a legit champion and is a co main to another PPV facing a c level opponent :scust:

Right. That's why I don't see the point in people talking about the promo company he signed with. 147 is bleek as shyt right now. The only other legit name is Stannionis.

I mentioned PBC because at least they have guys at 154 where he can move up and get solid fights with but I guess if he wants to be undisputed at 147 my point is moot.

Yeah... I don't think he wants to move up or maybe he feels he's not ready. Has there been any word of him having problems making the weight? That's usually when you hear fighters day they're ready to move up.

boots claims he makes 147 easy. My concern he ends up like Errol and missies our on prime years of getting stronger.

Look how Bud filled out, Canelo, etc. One reason I'm glad Devin didn't stick around chasing dudes, we see how he looked way stronger against Regis

he knows Devin will box his head off lol. Many feel Teo could work him too as Teo loves come forward guys and struggles with boxers (which is why some feel Devin beats Teo)
I think he hurts Lopez.

Lopez's footwork is so bad and Matias can not only walk his opponent down but he's good at cutting off the ring.

I keep hearing Teo struggles with boxers but can yall tell me who looks or has looked good against a moving ass pity pat boxer? Has Devin, tank, crawford ever fought a sandor martin/ortiz type fighter? We saw how boots looked against Karen and he supposed to be the second coming of Roy Jones right? Not exactly fair to judge the kid on that.
