So, in case I'm Lopez at the present time, right, I have Loma. I beat him.

"In this way, presently I need to get Gervonta Davis. I need Davis, and I need Shakur [Stevenson], and I need to battle those folks in a single year," he added. "I need to battle both those folks this year as opposed to boxing one person, at that point three years after the fact, battle [another] fellow if he's actually champion. You must battle the folks that you realize will be hot at this point."
