    True, his frame is very hard to get the weight on. If he does move up, hes going to have rely purely on skill then.

    You got your ass paddled by a rabbi with a gammy knee who couldn't punch a dent in a box of cornflakes if he was wearing iron gloves :risas3:

    Sorry, linares is top 2 lightweight beside mickey garcia who is now campaign at 140.
    Floyd fought Castillo a top lightweight at his time and nearly loss.
    You can definitely compare the two.

    Yes, you're right... Lomachenko is a bum. He beat bums... Mikey and Gervonta beat elite opposition like Broner and Cuellar... Loma the bum slayer beat bums like Gary Russel Jr, Walters, Rigondeaux and Linares... Lomachenko... worst fighter in the world, not even in p4p top 100.

    Sosa is a better win than Broner and Cuellar

    Pbf did fight guys bigger than him everyone he fought at 147 with the exception of jmm pac mitchell and zab were bigger than him. He also fought cotto canelo and oscar who were bigger than him to. Jlc enjoyed damn near a 20 pound weight advantage on him on fight night to.

    This..

    People have to lose their bias views to realize this.. This is what happens when you move up in weight and fight the longtime champion in that weight class(Linares/JLC).. The size difference was obvious and Loma still performed great but at some point size does matter.. Loma like FMJ and PAC before him will eventually see in moving up guys will take your shots better and you may get hurt taking their shots..

    When rigo lost it was all lomos skill
    Size always matters lomo got hit a lot...I don’t think he’s gonna fare well
    Vs fighters with a size advantage he gets hit to much with all that footwork Linares isn’t and accurate puncher outside of his right hand

    Loma was and is a natural light weigh his last amateur fight several years ago was in 132 pounds he's been feasting in 126 and 130 from now on he is facing fighters of same size.

    I've already explained this to you before. The only reason he fought up at lightweight in the amateurs is because they eliminated the featherweight division in 2012, therefore he couldn't campaign at that weight because it didn't exist.

    One thing I like about Loma is he admitted that and didn’t put too much stock into the Rigo win due to the difference in size.. it’s the biased fans that hype that win up..

    I think Mikey beats Loma
