    Oh please...Loma may well be one of the greatest boxers ever, but like...you think the height and reach was too much today, I don't even want to think about the mountain and a half in height and reach between Loma and Spence. There's only so far you can go, and that's too far even for Loma. Loma is by far a better boxer than Spence, but you can't overcome a size advantage like that. Impossible.

    According to who?

    The most anyone said Loma was capable of was beating a former Lightweight in Crawford or Pac, who's a puny Welterweight, that is all.

    This is an idiotic **** poor attempt at trolling. Try harder next time.

    And even if he did so what
    147 is a huge jump and tonight we sat first hand the repercussions of taking such a fight

    Who's backtracking *****? I never said Loma would beat Spence, I said he'd beat Garcia and Pac, and might be able to beat Crawford, and I STAND BY THAT. No one has ever said he'd beat Spence, you're deranged.

    Yeah, there's a gap. It's not 2 or 3 inches like the Tyson situation. And at heavyweight there's much less head movement, they can't really escape their opponent. It's a different kettle of fish at the lower weights. People have more space to play with and have movement to run around more. This isn't a huge height and reach advantage like Spence had tonight. According to boxrec there's 4 inches of reach in between Spence and Mikey. That's huge.

    Between Spence and Loma there is 6 and a half inches. 6 and a half!!! You've got to be kidding me if you think that is competitive. How on earth is Loma supposed to use his offense there, how does he get into Spence and trade? It's a key part of Loma's game, similar to how it's a key part of Mikey's game. Mikey had SOME gap to overcome, but it was just about within reason. It doesn't matter who you are, nobody can overcome a 6 and a half inch reach advantage at the lower weights, not a chance in hell.

    i put loma, mikey, spence and crawford on the same level, just at their natural size.
    in this order.
    i dont think anyone 130 down beats loma. i dont think anyone 140 down beats mikey. i dont think anyone 147 down beats crawford... except spence.

    Tyson fought bums until the 90s and them lost to the 2 best he ever faced. And to 3 bums.

    6 and a half? Is Loma suddenly 5’4 and Spence 5’10?

    Height difference between them is about the same as Pac odlh, Pac algeiri and Pac Margarito.

    loma has no business fighting spence, he said so when they asked about mikey-spence, he referenced loma-rigo. loma was more intelligent, mikey was more hutzpah.
