    I reckon 126, 130 or higher might be a step too far because what happens when a big 130 pounder who can really crack detonates a bomb on his whiskers? Even a big punching 126 pounder might have too much power for him. Don't get me wrong, I rate him extremely highly and I'm a huge fan. However, I have absolutely no idea how his chin will hold up yet at those weights.

    True I expect to see him taking the best opponents possible and fighting top names


    The reason loma is rated highly is because of his skills

    I have loma as #2 on my p4p list canelo at #1 due to resume


    However If loma captures that title against campbell I'll move loma up to #1 and canelo down due to being stripped

    Crawford has been stale lately not doing much so he would Probably drop to #4

    Assuming loma gets pasts campbell captures third world title at 135

    And Inoue beats donaire

    Loma takes #1
    Inoue #2
    Canelo being stripped moves to #3
    Crawford being stale not fighting not comp as of late he is moved to #5
    And usyk retains #4 until something big is done at heavyweight

    That's fair.

    If a Loma vs Inoue fight does actually come to fruition and the later managed to pull it off I'd have him ranked #1 for the next decade even if lost every single one of his subsequent fights after that win lol.

    Donaire is a real threat, if Inoue survives the first left hook that lands clean...then we can start discussing Loma, Pacman & Mayweather

    This comes off my money on Inoue to win.

    Inoue via KO but if Nonito catches him with something big it'll be interesting to see how well his chin holds up under the weight of it.

    Can't see it, Loma won't have a problem landing with his own shots and Inoue is really going to feel every last ounce of the weight of them too.

    Inoue won't have a problem landing with his own shots either Serge for me Inoue hits harder of the 2.
