WBO welterweight belt holder Teofimo Lopez listed the top 3 favorite boxers.
“Joe Louis was a representative of a new era. He smashed a lot of fighters. He had a different style. And his behavior... I pay attention not only to styles, but also to psychology. Then I remember Floyd Patterson. Great jab, great twos.
Mohammed Ali. In my opinion, other boxers had good tactics, they took everything seriously, but Ali shed light on our game, on boxing. But he stood for serious things outside of sports. He learned this from Malcolm X. If you don't stand for anything, you will fall for anything. I love Ali for this, he is truly inspiring,” Ali was quoted as saying by Boxing Social.
Let us remember that Lopez made his last appearance in June, defeating Josh Taylor by unanimous decision.
