Loma is too small for 135

Pacquiao was too small for lightweight. And Junior Welterweight. And Welterweight.

Lomachenko is taller, more muscular, thicker than Pacquiao. If Lomachenko is special, which I think he is, he should be able to compete at 140/147 like Pacquiao did/does.

 

That’s harsh lol. If he stays at 135 and becomes undisputed and defends the title against all comers that’s fine with me, he would be in the discussion of a modern day great.

However if he really is this once in lifetime type fighter like a lot fan boys say he is, he could push and try clean up 140 too or at least take on the winner of the WBSS.

 

I've seen Manny from a few feet away when I attended the Pacquiao-Bradley II press conference in NYC. My ex-girlfriend was with me and she's 5' 5". Manny was shorter. His real height is probably 5' 4".

 

A level?? I think Linares was close to that but depends on your definition of what an A level win is.. GGG beating Canelo maybe?? Or ward beating Kovalev? That bracket of win? No, he [JL] has the skill sure but he has some negatives also..

GRJ might just yet prove he's the best FW too! Not A level though. No, he has no Pac or JMM or Mosley or Trinidad type win sure but then again neither does Garcia, Usyk, Inoue or Crawford!

Linares, Martinez, GRJ, Walter's, Sosa, Salido (which i thought was a draw) Pedraza, Rigo overall is a very deep roster to date though..

 

Linares is just about B level imo. I have never rated him at the top level, what’s his best win Luke Campbell, Crolla? He shameless ducked Zlatacanin and I think Easter, Garcia both would have beat him too.

Yeah A level is Ward beating Kovalev, Rungvisai beating Chocolatito, Rigo beating Donaire at the time, GGG beating Canelo is A level for me because I think Canelo will beat him.

Once again who is GRJs best win? Unproven Jojo Diaz? Has he ever unified like Kovalev or Canelo or Chocolatito?

Loma has a lot of b level guys and some very good names but all having circumstances which gave him an advantage which I don’t blame him for it’s clever match making by bob. I could critically break down his whole resume, if you want. Garcia is the proven guy in Lomas weight class who can really put that stamp on his resume, it’s a 50-50 for me and it’s a proven guy who has unified and beaten similar calibre of opponents.

 

Linares ducked Dejan? I remember they were scheduled to fight but Linares had to pull out due to an injury. And then the WBC just stripped him of the belt.

 

pac was hesitant to move to 135 then because they thought his max is 130 so they selected the weaker champion david diaz. he took his punches well and then gambled on dela hoya that he also won. he then moved to welter because of better challenges and money that he sacrificed a lot in dealing with their punches, most especially from margarito. that is how pac tried to be great. pac is willing to meet loma below 140. they should make the fight happen.

 

He just beat the best 135 pounder in Linares yet he's too small for 135? What kind of sense does that make?

 

yeah but he clearly looked too small for the weight. He looked like Pacqauio did when he fought at light middleweight!

 

Stop lying you never had a girlfriend.

 

He didn't look small against Linares and he stopped Linares with a body shot which no had done before. No one beats Loma at 135 anyway the lone exception may be Garcia which is a 50-50 fight but I don't think Garcia can make 135 anymore so it won't matter. Loma is fine at 135.

 

Honestly, every time GGG has fought for the last few years I've been a nervous wreck for that very reason!

 

He faked an injury after delaying the match the first time and then he fought Crolla even though he was supposed to be too injured to take that Dejan fight.

 

Interesting.
Who do you think is better, Crolla or Dejan?
They are both on the same level in my eyes.

 

Haha it’s okay to want your man to win, I like that fight jitters you get when your guy is fighting a dangerous opponent but these other guys make excuses if their guy loses, they try to bring other fighters down in order to elevate their fighter. That’s when you are going into fan girl terroritory for me.
