Huh, I'm not mad over the Rigo loss. Rigo 5'4 Manny 5'5(Currently at 147lbs) Loma 5'7(Currently at 130lbs) Bud 5'8(Moving up to 147lbs) If Loma really wanted to he can become a fighter in the higher weight classes, never stopped Duran 5'7, or Manny did it? You seem to think I am bitter, towards Loma. If you read all of my posts I just explained to J Jones why I want to see Loma move up.
Nobody excited about Loma vs Garcia? Garcia is a top fighter and might have a larger discrepacy over Loma than Loma had over Rigo? Why the obsession with a fighter 20 pounds away? What is it about Crawford....Hmmmm.
2 things. Crawford is not P4P #1. And second, They will fight. But first there is Mickey Garcia, which will bring a bigger payday. Crawford isn't a draw.
None of the guys you mentioned will ever go down as the greatest fighter in history. That honor rightfully belongs to SRR. There’s nothing wrong with being remembered as one of the greatest MWs in history, although I am not sure GGG really is. Hagler is not the same because he is truly a legend, even though he fought his entire career as a 5’9” MW. SRL and Duran are definitely legends in any era. Through careful matchmaking, Manny and FMJ became legends in our era...not sure about all-time status though. As much as I like Bud, I’m not 100% confident he will be able to wipe out the entire 147 pound division without advantages in size. I definitely don’t think he should reach for JMW. He reminds me a lot of Stevie Johnston, but with more power. However, I believe he will eventually run into an Aaron Pryor, Henry Armstrong type fighter who possesses the whiskers and will to successfully maul him and emerge with a convincing win. If Shawn Porter had more punching power and tougher skin, I think he could be that guy. Nothing wrong with joining Sal Sanchez, Pep, Saddler, Armstrong, Azumah Nelson, MAB, Morales, Arguello, and others as one of the greatest ever at 126-130. Even if Loma were to move up and win belts by cherry picking slow fighters like Baldimar (FMJ) and David Diaz (Manny), or even win vacant titles, I still don’t think his haters will give him credit. History tells us that 25-50 years from now our generation will brag to the new generation about how invincible Loma was, while discrediting the fighters around at that time. See Pep winning a round without throwing a punch for example. Looking forward to your response.
SRR is one of the best fighters of all time, and belongs in that select group I mentioned earlier. Loma's name is not there, because unlike SRR, he's not yet tested himself in higher weight classes, SRR did. I think SRL is a better fighter than SRR, just. BTW, SRR 4 weight divisions, Loma, only 2 so far. Would SRR be as renowned throughout history if he only stuck to 2 divisions, probably, but not as much as he is.
I've gone on record saying Loma-Garcia is the best fight in boxing and should be made ASAP. BTW I have little interest in Crawford-Loma I already know Crawford would destroy him. I'm talking it up because of the hypocrisy of some of his fans that's why.
Crawford is at 147 now. Why stop there? Might as well start talking about matchups between Lomachenko against Spence Jr, Thurman and Horn. Rigo fans need to stop being so bitter.
Next hope???? What country are you from? We don't have hopes in this country in case you hadn't noticed check the boxing history book and a top 50 ATG list while you're at it.
you said GRJ, walters and rigo would beat lomachenko. All were humiliated on live TV. I don't think crawford would do better btw. He's a lot bigger but slower and not as technical.
