    :lol: So what's your argument?

    You say Loma is stuck in a weak division, but he shouldn't unify it because it is weak? Wtf?

    exactly, so it's hardly a waste. Loma's already in his 30's and people like Mikey don't want to fight. Maybe unifying is a way to increase the chances of getting guys to fight him

    I’m
    Not really arguing anything. Just bemoaning the fact that Loma has no challenges unless he goes to 140 which he’s too small for

    So what is he to do? If hes too small to move up than what else is there to do at 135?
    Loma is at a **** position. Going up again is not smart and 140 has little to offer besides Prograis and Taylor.

    Either Loma goes back down to 130, which is the strongest of the 3 divisions(130-140), and hopes to get a fight there. Or he unifies 135 and waits the challenges to come to him; Teofimo, Haney, Davis and Berchelt.

    You are literally complaining just to complain.

    Yes i am. Loma is special talent and I want to see him slap around Tank Davis so badly

    Fat Boy Davis' lack of discipline will force him to move up. And guess who will be holding all of the belts!
    :deal:

    :lol: They are all ****ed. Every one that I mentioned. Teofimo is the only one who might snatch a belt and escape Loma. But thats up to Commey. Commey said he doesn't want to be the B side anymore. So he might go after the big money vs Loma.

    Agreed.

    Cambell vs Linares was a legit, old school, masterful fight.

    I think you're right that Cambell has another level. This could be genuine master boxing displayed.

    I agree but he’s chasing the belts and that’s his choice and he has to fight whoever they put in front

    The good thing is he’s active and I can almost guarantee he’s gonna fight 1-2 more times after this fight

    He’s not a bum but do you really see anything that Campbell can do to legitimately trouble nomaschenko

    Loma hasn't been active at all. Fingers crossed that he can make it to 3 fights this year.
    His next fight is supposedly in September, which doesn't leave much room for a 3rd fight.

    There his no one who can make 140 who has even a faint hope against Loma, including Mickey.

    If he wants to inject some excitement and suspense into his fights, he need to do what Pac did.

    Move up to WW.

    He would be an underdog against Bud and Errol, a 50-50 against Thurman and Pac and a favourite over the rest of the division.

    If he wants to challenge for a spot on the top ten, he needs to take a risk and shake things up.
