    Yes, Loma "avoided" his biggest challenge at SFW (Berchelt) to fight a bigger, stronger, faster fighter.

    Lomachenko mops the floor with Berchelt. You know it (deep down), I know it, and more importantly Berchelt's people know it.

    Styles make fights bro. Not sure how long you have followed boxing.

    Three things made the Berchelt fight so ****ing intriguing.

    1. Miguel Berchelt is the man at SFW
    2. Miguel Berchelt had a similar style to Orlando Salido who beat Lomachenko
    3. Lomachenko beating Berchelt would have great redeemable factors for his only loss.

    what do you mean by offered? was he getting what he asked for in these offers, or is not accepting every offer thrown your way now considered a duck?

    Bob never wanted Pac May until it was literally forced upon him and certainly didn't want to make the Linares fight recently.

    Fortunately Loma seems to want to make the big fights so we might see this bout happen yet with or without Bob.

    How old are you, bro? I've probably been following the sport for as long as you have been alive. Peddle that sh*t with someone else.

    Allow me to address each of your points in order:

    1) Lomachenko was the man at 130lbs. Period. Berchelt and Davis are 1A and 1B. In fact, I am not convinced that Tank doesn't spark the Mexican.
    2) Does Berchelt intend to deliberately come in over weight (giving him a 10lbs weight advantage) and repeatedly foul?? If not, the comparison is imprecise at best. Moreover, as I have demonstrated on here on countless occasions, Lomachenko had adjusted to Salido's tactics in time to sweep the championship rounds and very nearly drop the cagey Mexican in round 12.
    3) I would prefer that Lomachenko move back to 130lbs.

    Take your ****ing fanboy goggles off for a minute old ****.

    I would favor Loma over Berchelt, but I would never count Berchelt out, Loma has shown his vulnerabilities and its pressure and strength. Styles make fights Mr. Boxing guru old ****.

    For your second point, Berchelt is a tough strong MF. He is going to pressure Loma with his style as he's done against bigger fighter.

    You think Loma made adjustments in the last rounds? Maybe he did, but it was clearly because the older battleworn warrior was getting fatigued. There is no denying Lomachenko's incredible conditioning, it is one of the main factors that separated him from Linares last night. Once the old warrior Salido slowed down a bit, the master boxer with supreme stamina was ablento capitalize and score his points. Against Berchelt he would be dealing with a young pressure fighter.

    I ****ing love Lomachenko, I hope the Lomasexuals don't ruin him on yhe message boards like they do many fighters by overhyping them and losing their **** when they are critiqued.

    GBP offered Mikey a choice between Linares or Cotto. They negotiated. Mikey walked.

    I like Mikey as much as the next fan, but he isn't doing his legacy any favors. Sometimes you need to sacrifice things such as money in order to get to the next level.

    No numbers mentioned, but Mikey didn't say the numbers were bad. GBP wanted a multi-fight deal with Cotto, but Linares was a one fight only deal.

    man i just dont get you guys, youd defend a guy like canelo with your dying breath, based solely on his ethnicity, but you say mikey, who has 7 title fights across 4 weight divisions in his last 8 fights, is not doing his legacy any favors.:shakehead:

    Mikey wants to piggy back by tossing around big names that are dangerous fights, but not signing when the offers are made. He should have fought Linares. He should have also taken on the aging Cotto just to greatly increase his name value with the win. Broner was a smart move because he knew AB was an easy win due to his low punch output.

    Mikey has zero charisma, and will need big fights to make huge purses.
