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

    Pac is targeting other fighters of his own. Garcia is MIA for a bit now. Are both of these guys actively (Meaning now, not from months or a year ago) trying to face Loma?

    I really feel like Lomachenko should fight Pac. Lomachenko could be a welterweight champion beating a guy who should be fighting at lightweight.

    Pac would be smaller on fight night than Linares, Campbell, Haney, Lopez, and Mikey.

    Garcia would be smaller than Manny because he would be fighting him at 140.

    Manny has proven he is far stonger at welter than Linares was at 140, he`s naturally stronger than all the other guys you mention.

    What does that have to do with Loma calling them out?

    Your telling me 5'8 canelo who's had 4 fights above 154 is the same size as 6'1 Danny Jacobs who has to boil down to get to 160?

    No, call them out in an actual attempt of being a part of a historically significant fight which would also give him the biggest paycheck of his career. Why would he not do this?

    I really feel Inoue should fight Loma because the later was smaller than McDonnell

    Khan didn`t have to fight Manny to win at welter and had a far longer reach than Loma does.

    What is your argument here? That fighters should not be going after big fights? Big fights don't just fall into laps you have to put your name in the hat.
