Teofimo Lopez would have received the same sum of money from Turki Alalshikh to fight him as he would have from Jaron "Boots" Ennis, according to Keyshawn Davis. According to Davis, he took Teofimo's refusal to fight as an indication that he was "scared." Lopez Turned Down Davis' Offer of a Fight According to Davis, Teofimo was offered the fight over the phone by Turki, but he declined. His sole goal was to challenge WBA and IBF welterweight champion Ennis for the belt. It makes sense. Ennis is ranked #1 at 147 and is more well-known than Keyshawn. Keyshawn, on the other hand, is ranked #3 or #4 at lightweight, behind Raymond Muratalla, Shakur Stevenson, Andy Cruz, and Gervonta Davis. Teofimo would benefit more from facing the top welterweight than from taking on Keyshawn, who has ducked his four-time winner Cuban Andy Cruz and is regarded as a weight bully at 135 pounds. Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KOs) ought to be competing against Boots Ennis at welterweight right now. Since he is not nearly as talented as Boots, it makes natural that he has shown little interest in moving up to 147 to face him. He would prefer to remain around 135 in order to benefit from a significant size advantage over his rivals. Regarding the two fighters he informed Turki Alalshikh he wished to meet, Keyshawn remarked, "I said Teo and Isaac Cruz," in an interview with the Cigar Talks YouTube channel. "I wish I could battle those guys." The fight wouldn't be dull; it would be full of action. It would be worthwhile for people to show up and support such an initiative. Call Teo, he [Turki] said. Keyshawn Money Was Ducked by Teofimo About the money Turki would have given Teofimo if he had agreed to face Davis, Keyshawn remarked, "It was for the same bread that he was going to get fighting Boots." That is frightening. F*** evading. "You're afraid to fight me," Keyshawn remarked. Four-Time Conqueror Davis Ducks Keyshawn isn't denying that he has displayed some fear of his own by avoiding Andy Cruz, his four-time opponent, who has called him out on numerous occasions after beating him four times in the amateurs. Davis has no desire to interact with Cruz. Pitbull Cruz is his favorite. What does that indicate? In reference to Teofimo, Keyshawn went on, "I knew he was scared of me, but not to that extent," ignoring his avoidance of Andy Cruz. "I wanted to fight this other guy, but he outpriced himself, so I won't name him. Regarding his battle on June 7th, Keyshawn stated, "He requested $8 million." Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz, a Mexican fighter, was involved. After this fight, we might be able to fight. Given that 5'4′ Pitbull Cruz was just defeated by Jose "Rayo" Valenzuela, why would Keyshawn want to fight him? Why isn't he concentrating on attempting to defeat Andy Cruz, who has never lost? With that action, Keyshawn exposes himself as a cherry picker since, given Rayo's previous victory over him, how does he win the fight against Pitbull? He overcharged himself. "Who would be a name that could come to the town?" I thought. I thought De Los Santos was the ideal individual. He would have visited the town of Norfolk, Virginia. In reference to Isaac Cruz, Keyshawn stated, "We just fell on De Los Santos." Pitbull Cruz against Big Keyshawn Since Pitbull Cruz would be competing against a welterweight, it makes sense that he would want to pay top cash to face Keyshawn. He weighs only 135 pounds. Is Keyshawn interested in taking on Bakhram Murtazaliev, a junior middleweight? He would never consider revealing his stature in order to engage in combat with Bakhram, a deadly puncher. Davis would probably want $8 million or more if he agreed to that bout. He would have no chance of defeating Murtazaliev. He could attempt to utilize the same WWE techniques he employed on Miguel Madueno, but Murtazaliev would still knock him out. Unless he is receiving a lot of money, Pitbull Cruz shouldn't have to face a welterweight Keyshawn because losing would ruin his career. Keyshawn is staying away from Andy Cruz or moving up to 147 or 154 for the same reason. He is aware that losing would mean the end of his career as "The Businessman." Regarding his opponent for Saturday, the dormant Edwin De Los Santos, Keyshawn remarked, "On paper, he fought Rayos and he fought Shakur." On paper, he's one of my hardest opponents. He seems to me to be just another combatant. He is one of the decent ones at 135 and was genuinely willing to fight me, which is why I chose him. I understand that people are truly refusing to battle with me because they believe there is a greater risk than benefit. Keyshawn Selects De Los Santos, Who Is Not Active Keyshawn is well aware of the reasons behind his selection of Edwin De Los Santos. The man hasn't fought in two years, is coming off a defeat, and was recently taken off the injured list due to blood clots. It has more to do with De Los Santos' ailments and two years of inactivity than it does with him being "one of my toughest fights on paper." "Aware that I'm going to stop him [De Los Santos]." I don't want to come across as overconfident, but I simply know what I can do. "I'm so excited to show the world," Keyshawn remarked. Since De Los Santos hasn't fought in a very long time, you can't give him complete credit if he does manage to stop him. What about Keyshawn taking on an active opponent like Boots Ennis, Brian Norman Jr., Gary Antuanne Russell, Andy Cruz, or Raymond Muratalla? Instead of trying to fight the little Pitbull Cruz or De Los Santos, he ought to be fighting all those men.
