    I think thats a fair assessment. A great fight if it happens.

    Definitely a great fight, like I said either man can win which is why I wanna see it. I think it is similar to Crawford vs Spence, you got a very technical fighter vs a boxer puncher with power and size in his advantage, I have to go for the naturally bigger man in those types of fights.

    Interesting. I see it the opposite. I take skill over size 9/10 times when its not a ridiculous difference. I think skill negates size to a certain point. I dont think neither Spence nor mikey have a big enough size advantage to over take the high skill levels theyll be facing. Both great fights that make me drool at the possibility of them happening.

    Hmm good point normally I back the skilled fighter if all the other guys has is size . However both Mikey and Errol both carry the most power in their division imo and they have skills too, even though Terrence and Loma have flashier skills there’s a science to being as efficient and accurate as both guys are.

    I agree. Im not selling Spence or Mikey short they absolutely are high skilled guys but i believe Loma is just on another level skill wise and i give Crawford the nod over Spence skill wise because he has shown he can do different things in the ring where Spence has shown he fights one way and just wears you down till you break.

    I know you ain’t, your just leaning one way that’s all good, hopefully we get the fight and the best man wins.

    Why did Mikey rebel against the boxing deity...Not worth it

    Loma outboxes Garcia, so he will never let Bob Arum get him that easy

    Bob is senile and delusional. Unlike Lomachenko or his promoter, Mikey has actually made an effort to make the fight with Lomachenko, seeking Lomachenko out when he was in the green room and pitching him the idea of making a PPV fight. But at least Bob is open to making a deal. The question is what network would Bob let Lomachenko fight on? HBO ? Showtime ? I highly doubt Mikey would agree to fight Lomachenko under the Top Rank banner on some ESPN+ App !

    I never understand why it can’t be broadcasted on both networks.

    So according to you, Lomachenko won't fight anywhere other than ESPN and Mikey won't fight on ESPN, yet Mikey is blameless...

    :lol:
