Those who want to see Loma drop down in weight ...

Yeah but that works both ways.

Would anyone who Loma beat have been able to cut it as a world class LW the way he has done?

Rigo is his biggest win and that involved a huge jump in weight.

There always be guys who are bigger and guys who are smaller, that's just the way weight classes work.

 

Your not saying anything untrue... But why not go back down to a weight he's more suited to?

Rigo jumped two weights to fight lomachenko and he lost... He was outsized and went back down.

I think donaire fought Frampton at featherweight? Well above his natural weight and has since had success moving back down to a more natural weight for him.

People jump all over fighters and can't wait to see them lose.. They are ****, they are overhyped etc... And its really sad... Loma is a great fighter.. He looked small next to teo.. Teo fought a great fight and deserved the win.... I think lomachenko may beat him in a rematch... Or he may get knocked out... And that's OK... So why not go down to a more natural weight and take on the best there.... An L doesn't have to mean someone was **** or overhyped or exposed.. It just means they lost

 

He was bigger then Rigo but remember the odds were a 50.50 fight. It's one thing to fight a smaller guy where you are a huge favorite but another one when it is an even money fight based on casino odds.

 

I don't think he is more suited to SFW or FW. I think LW is where he should stay.

 

depends on how his body feels. some guys in his position wouldnt be able to get back down without losing strength and fight stamina, because of age. his walk around weight has adapted to more lbs, so his peak fight weight might have also. now your stretching the distance between walk around weight and peak fight weight, if you want to drop to a lower weight.
keep in mind that im not a scientist. i only play one online.

 

If I could plan his next five big fights before a nice retirement, it's be like this:

#1. Rematch Lopez
#2. Shut up Devin Haney

Move down, possibly a tune up to help manage the weight.

#3. Miguel Berchelt
#4. Tank/LSC winner
#5. Tank/LSC loser

Retire a happy man and a great fighter.

I don't get the appeal of an Inoue fight. Both are in deep divisions as is, they don't need to fight eachother (especially given the size difference). There's much more interesting fights for both. After he beats Casimero, I want to see Inoue at 122. I'd much rather see Lomachenko go up to 140 and beat a weaker belt holder so he can get a belt there too.

It won't happen now, but I'll be able to did happy if they can somehow come up with the Miley Garcia fight.

And no-one will want Shakur to fight him when that boy gets exposed.

 

You might be right... But I don't think so... He's good enough to mix it up there but it is his limit... Unfortunately as someone else said its a more prestigious division so he's more likely to stay there....although I'm sure in a. Interview he said after he unified lightweight he wanted to move back down
