If Canelo has success against Kovalev, will the pressure be on Old Man Loma to move up and fight TC?

    I would love to see loma vs pac @13 . 140 147 or catchweight 138

    As a fan would I want to see loma fight at a higher weight class and test himself??hell yess!!!

    However Loma is a proven p4p fighter hes aiming to become undisputed @135 then hes targeting 130 as well

    I would love to see loma fight Regis-Taylor winner . Only to see loma test himself further

    But loma is already fighting bigger fighters. ,Campbell, linares , pedraza. all these fighters were bigger than him

    Loma fought p4p fighter at the time rigo. Hes close to becoming undisputed at 135. He wants the Comey-Lopez winner

    The inoue fight as well .

    Do I want to see fight loma move to 140 and fight taylor progais winner or pacman . I would love to see him do it. However there are other fights out there that loma can take

    Inoue

    Davis

    Berchlet

    Lopez -comey winner

    Loma has options. Moving up to 140 isn't everything as long as loma continues fight top opponents I have no complaints at all .

    I appreciate his art his art and fighting style

    The way he dominates bigger guys with his skills is a joy to watch .

    Take it for what it's worth, but a couple weeks ago on the Showtime Boxing Podcast, Andy Lee said Canelo is walking around at 200. That seems high to me, but what the hell do I know. I wouldn't think Andy would just blurt that out for the hell of it.

    As a comparison Khabib In MMA walks around at 190+ and has to make 140 something which is why he mauls everyone.
    When he showed his weight it would be 170+ back then so go figure.

    Yeah Khabib cuts from like 190 to 155. Tyron Woodley walks around at 210 and fights at 170. Most of those dudes in the UFC make gigantic weight cuts. But, man 200 seems really heavy for Canelo.

    Oscar said Clen walks around at 185-190 and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he's got up that high sometimes

    No. Simply because not every boxers can move up weight class and keep being competitive. Some great boxers in history basically stayed in their respective division in whole of their career, like Kostya Tzyu, etc. Due to multiple belts and boxing organizations, it is easier for one to become multiple weight class champion. But to survive let alone, conquer each one of them, it's a different matter entirely. Take Donaire, for example, he managed to become four weight classes champion, but he didn't survive the featherweight. Same like Roy Jones Jr., he might once be a champion in the prestigious heavyweight class, but he himself admits that he couldn't survive there.

    Just because he is wide-regarded P4P #1, Loma has no obligation to fulfill the fantasy of boxing fans who think he can defeat all the fighters in the world or ones who simply want to see him get beaten.

    4 fights above 154 is a lie. pretty damn simple. that or you are too stupid to be taken seriously... which is it?

    in your words...
    (" Your telling me 5'8 canelo who's had 4 fights above 154 is the same size as 6'1 Danny Jacobs who has to boil down to get to 160?" )

    In case you claim amnesia.

    Lmfao. So because it's 5 fights and not 4 you classify this as a lie? If I had spelled kovalevs name wrong would that be a "lie" as well?
    You are truely and desperately grasping at straws here and you have no ultimate point to even make. Truely hilarious

    And before you attempt anymore straw grasping arguments, I'm talking about the junior middle weight weight-class. Not the exact weight of 154 pounds on fight night

    weights are you trying to gloss over Canelo weight

    Canelo has 10 fight over 154 not 5 still Lying or too stupid which is it. P.S anything over 154 is not Junior middleweight that is middleweight.

    since you are going the stupid route
    fights where Canelo contracted the fights to weigh over 154 and weighed over 154 during the official weigh in the day before the fight.
    1. Angulo
    2. Lara
    3. Kirkland
    4. Cotto
    5. Khan
    6. Chaves Jr
    7. GGG
    8. GGG
    9. Fielding
    10. Jacobs

    and next Saturday will be 11 Kovalev.

    As I said i was talking about junior middle weight fights. I don't go reference box rec for fight night weights when I'm speaking about boxing. I use my own recollection and knowledge. This is the most asanine conversation I'm done entertaining your pointless straw grabbing arguments
