    When Loma moves up to 135, how do you guys think will he look against fighters like Linares, Zlaticanin, Mikey Pere, and Easter Jr. ?

    I think Lomachenko will rule 135 if he gets past Mikey.

    I think he'd unify at 135 but it's just getting too high in weight. His prime is 126-130 and he's only 136lbs on fight night for a 130 fight.
    He'd be absolutely dwarfed at Lightweight in terms of overall size. My lofty praise of Lomachenko is of him as a Featherweight (126, 130) and I myself need to be convinced he can be as good at 135.
