    He’s a small 135,
    Ducked Mikey g
    Ducked pac

    He can stick around 135 and try to get commey, lopez, or gervonta or move up and get koed by josh Taylor or Regis prograis.

    Ha, stalling. He headlined two fights on ESPN, crushed the ratings both times and unified the division ....

    Commey would have been a very good fight, but now I think they'll have to settle for Crolla. The Crolla option isn't bad at all given what is out there right now.

    It's a good stay busy fight to pass sometime till Gervonta losses to the scale at 130lbs, Commey heals (but probably makes a defense first), or Luke Cambell takes the vacant title from Garcia (his fat Mexican ass isn't making 135lbs again after the Spence beating)

    It's because Arum is matching him like he needs protection. After letting him fight Salido and Russell Jr. in his 7th and 8th Pro fights, he's matched him somewhat softly since. Moves up to 130, and doesn't fight any of the four best guys there. Maybe say one wasn't ready, but you can't make an excuse for not fighting any of the four. Machado, Davis, Berchelt, and there was another guy as well. At 135, he beat Linares. Linares was solid in a weak division, but then he fights and has issues with Tank's Son. Now they are trying to line up the Crude and primitively skilled Commey, and Crolla. **** that. Move back down to 130, and fight Berchelt, Machado, and Tank.

    If he’s not going to 140 he should drop back down to SFW. Good fights for him there. Loma-Farmer is a really good, competitive match up that I would love to see.

    Stop with that bull****. 5'7 isn't a small 135 pounder. Leonard Dorin was 5'2, that's a small 135 pounder.

    So by that logic anyone at 135 who doesn't fight someone of a similar level at 140/147 is ducking ?

    GGG had/has a lot going for him whether Canelo was there or not. Any non-casual wanted to see him fight. The reputation proceeded him.

    Seems like an extreme thread. He beat Linares less than a year ago, dude.

    You mean:

    "Every casual wanted to see him fight."

    Yes, that is true. His reputation proceeded him.

    Non-casuals watched his fights because he was so talked about by casuals and pushed by HBO.

    True, I’m not excited about anything being mentioned. He’s the pound for pound number one. There’s nothing to get hyped about with Mikey off doing stupid things. Loma should’ve/should be trying to make that Pac fight happen. Nobody cares about the guys being mentioned, they do nothing for his resume and these are Loma’s prime years.
