If Canelo has success against Kovalev, will the pressure be on Old Man Loma to move up and fight TC?

I don`t think Ray boxed great in that fight at all, he ran for much of the fight, got tired early laying on the ropes and then rallied towards the end of each round, all he showed was great athleticism, I don`t think it was a great fight, Montreal was far better.

 

I have said it in another thread, Loma's ceiling would be Regis Prograis. Loma beating Prograis would correspond to Usyk beating AJ. A massive, massive accomplishment. He can't go farther than 140. He's already far too small at 135.

Kovalev is the first fight Canelo will be the significantly smaller guy (on paper, in reality it's yet to be seen). He never had it before, perhaps a bit smaller than Jacobs but that's it. Apart from Rigo, every 129+ guy Loma fought was bigger than him.

 

He`s only interested in the hype and the hype is what make him think moving up in weight is so impressive and why he mentions being remembered like Ray`s fight v an ageing Hagler, it was the hype around that win that cemented Ray`s legacy, not how difficult it wa to win, that`s why he keeps harping on about BIG superfights, they are big.

 

Garcia or Pac

 

Lol Loma is too small for 135 but you can't even bring yourself to admit kovalev is a bigger man than canelo?

Legit question if Canelo Kahn Mikey Usyk can why can't the most skilled boxer

 

What do you understand when I say "Kovalev is the first fight Canelo will be the significantly smaller guy (on paper)" <-----------

What Canelo looks like at 175 is yet to be seen. Not sure what your argument is.

 

Guess what folks? A female judge, the guy who scored GGG Canelo I a draw & that Moretti guy who does most of Canelos fights are the appointed judges for Kovalev Canelo.. Kovalev is down 4 rounds already.. now considering all he has left is a jab these days it's pretty much has Canelo UD or late TKO written all over it.. Rigged cards, ageing fighters out & a positive drugs test.. what a fighter..

 

My argument is that you are suggesting canelo is actually bigger even though on paper he is 5 inches shorter and only has 4 fights above 154. No need to add the caveat on paper. He is smaller by a huge margin, period. Yet Loma to you is "clearly too small for 135" no caveat for that one though

 

I suppose I couldn't phrase it the right way. I was saying, Canelo is significantly smaller than his opponent in this fight, and this is the first time it's happening to him. On fight night, we'll see how smaller he actually is. I never suggested he's bigger than Kovalev.

 

Excuses already?

 

Canelo wasnt significantly smaller than Danny Jacobs in your view? Chavez Jr? Fields?

I guess the main question is why no caveat for Loma who is jumping much smaller increments of weight who you deem as "way too small" for 135, yet he's fine at 130?

 

He was shorter, not smaller. He's shorter but his stockiness (if that's a word) evens it up.
