The George v Haney winner defends against Loma. The winner of that defends the Undisputed championship against Stevenson. Chairman Bob has got it all worked out.
I don’t like that he’s talking about a guy he can’t fight now, that makes it seem like clout chasing instead of being serious. He should fight Conceiaco (who also beat Valdez) first, move to 135 and win a belt. He’s better than anyone at 135 other than Lomachenko. The sooner the fight happens the more I favour Lomachenko, but Shakur could beat him in a couple of years and rule the sport.
Easy call out cause it Won’t happen. Loma turned down a unification fight , a fight I see him easily beating Kambosos in, due to the war. No way in hell he will fight Stevenson for no reward. He wins and people will say Stevenson is still not prime. He lose and his dream of bigger fights will now be harder to get.
It’s kind of pointless to call out Loma right now. If he turned down the Kambosos fight, I have to assume he would turn down any fight while this war is ongoing. As much as I hate to say it, it’s possible that we may have already seen his final pro fight.
Naw, he just answering that question before everybody throws it in his face like he supposed to be scared.
Loma is now in Ukraine, defending his homeland and no one knows when he'll come back to boxing. Even if he returns to boxing next year, it'll take time for him to rebuild his career, his physics and form. There is possibility that we might never see the same greatness that Loma has shown again depends on how the war goes. As for Shakur, why Loma ? There are plenty beltholders in lightweight division which are available. He is a young man, why not fight another young man like Garcia ? Why not Devin Haney ?
Good fight and as Loma said in the past, he will fight even at 130 if every belt is on the line. But Loma made a very stupid decision not to fight Kambosos in June. Inactive Loma at that age
Agree with both of you & Joker here though what i think he means to say is, it's always a no brainer going after someone and wanting them and not ducking them(Valdez in point) when you know you are the favourite to surely defeat them as opposed to taking on someone where you could say you " inside you are just a little less sure of yourself in getting the job done also who is currently even in Shakur's division that he has to duck? if were being truly honest, Though that's not doubting the he doesn't truly want the Loma fight, we'll just have to wait and see as always when it comes to boxing, The fighters chuck us a line or two as bait and we start to converse for days end when in reality nothing is really close to happening at all, all along....
As a boxing fan I’d love to see it too but reality is this fight will never happen. If he moves to 135 , I don’t think Stevenson will be fighting any top guy for years. Hell we can’t even get fights among the top guys as it is now.
