    Not often i say this to you, but completely agree with this. It's where the tougher tests are, its where the bigger fights are, and where he can earn more money.

    Better fighters at 130 than 135 at the moment.

    Yup

    I do think Berchelt & Tank can give him real fights... They have the power+size advantages

    Yeah he may as well take himself to 130 and get himself some top fights whilst Mikey recovers from being run over by Spence.

    I doubt Loma will move back down, since those fights are not guaranteed to happen.
    And Loma is likely about to unify with the IBF as well.

    I think he will stay at 135, try and unify all the belts and wait for the guys at 130 to move up.

    I agree

    He left 130 too soon, as he also did for 126

    Most of those SFWs will probably move up in the next year or so anyway

    Totally agree. He will continue to be steered onto the path of least resistance though, the current excuse being that he wants to unify. Same bull**** excuse for Crawford fighting bums. Loma actually has talented opposition he could fight down at 130.

    Those boys can easily move up to 135. Davis fights at 140

    Guys like Berchelt, Davis and Machado will sooner or later move up in class to lightweight division.

    So Loma will just sit around and wait until those guys can't make their respective weight anymore.
