    Loma has the talent to make it to the top 3 but he's also fighting time now.

    Great in theory, it aint happening im afraid, modern boxing politics is what slows this process down, the so called big names will wait till loma gets old then start calling his name, same **** as ggg. Also the haney fan boys are super delusional to think that loma who was the current wbc champ ducked their boy to fight a more dangerous fighter in teofimo for the ibf strap, why would he fight devon for a secondary wheaties box version of the wbc when he was already the champ and his goal was to unify the division against a better fighter. Loma ducks NOBODY!

    Yeah, tbh it’s unrealistic that he would get all those fights in 1 year, you get more people pulling out of fights these days for different reasons and fighters are way more inactive that’s why these fights don’t happen for years, but his promoter needs to look at the fact he’s 34 next month and he has to get him the right fights if he wants to add to his legacy big time and he needs to get it done quickly because fighters typically start to noticeably decline once they hit 35, so he has a year left before he really starts to slow down
    I don’t understand why promoters can’t get fighters out more, it’s 2 times a year (at most) these days for too fighters on average

    He would have to beat at least a few of those guys at 135 in DOMINATING fashion. Otherwise, Canelo, Bud, Spence, or one of those guys would have to lose. Maybe both.

    The evidence has to be clear and convincing especially for an allegation like match fixing. Are you now suggesting that every one sided fight which is ended by a brutal knockout is always fixed? He who alleges must have the burden of proving such allegation. And if your evidence is just the fight then its not very clear. We saw a drained out old kovalev get beaten up, but he didnt take a dive. The cards werent an option as well since it didnt go the distance. How exactly can you prove the match fixing in the kovalev fight? Its just conjecture and speculation. The fight could be interpreted mulitple ways.

    Yes canelo stacked the cards so high against kovalev, but that isnt fixing. PBF does **** like that, how come the match fixing narrative, if any, isnt very loud against him. Im not defending Canelo or his way of conducting business. All im saying is match fixing is a very heavy allegation, you MUST have more evidence than just "watch the fight". Allowing such argument will tend to erode the trust and confidence of boxing fights towards practically every fight, this is on top of the historical corruption of the sport. Especially one sided fights.

    Lomachenko is probably the only boxer I dislike, and it's due to how insane his fanboys are. "If he beats Tank and Kambosos he'll be #1 pound for pound"

    Alright, so Usyk beats:

    Joshua
    Briedis
    Gassiev
    Bellew
    Huck
    Mchunu
    Glowacki
    Hunter
    Chisora

    Without losing once

    And Canelo beats

    Kovalev
    Golovkin
    C Smith
    Saunders
    Plant
    Jacobs
    Cotto
    Lara
    Trout
    Mosley
    L Smith
    M Hatton

    While only losing to Golovkin and Mayweather

    Yet Loma is pound for pound #1 with:

    Kambosos (hypothetical)
    Davis (hypothetical)
    GARjr
    Linares
    Commey
    Martinez

    While losing to Salido and Lopez (dethroned a fight later), and I'm supposed to include 40 year old 118-122er fighting Loma at 130 Rigondeaux as a great win

    His fans are nuts
