Crawford and Lomachenko are around the same size. Should they fight?

    Er. When Crawhype was down at 140 there was about a 20lb difference between them then. And I'm not even talking about their walk around weights either - that's ring weights.

    Crawhype was coming in at 157 when he was down at 140 going back 2 years ago, whereas Loma weighs 137-138.

    Horn was about 155 in the ring on Saturday, 2lbs less than what Crawhype weighed when he was down at 140 and obviously before he'd moved up to 147 and spent many months (since his last fight at 140) working with his S&C coach ''adding muscle,'' ''size,'' and on just ''getting heavier,'' so I think it's safe to assume that after doing all that he did, duh, actually add size, muscle, and get heavier than the 157 he weighed down at 140.

    Let's assume it was just 5lbs for the sake of argument. That would make him 162, about 7lbs heavier than Horn but I'd say it was at the very least 5lbs and at the very least 25lb heavier than Loma.

    When Crawhype was fighting at 135 he was coming in at 152 and even as high as 153, conversely Loma weighed 138 for his fight against Linares at 135. Two guys fighting in the same division but one of them outweighs the other by 14-15lbs.

    As far as What weight they both walk around at. Loma said he walks around at 145 max, whereas Crawhype uploads photos to his social media of himself weighing as much as 177.

    Lol, how ironic.

    I ignore most of what you post Lance. From time to time I may respond to some idiotic post you make.

    But there's a massive massive difference.
    Crawford one of the best fighters in the entire sport.
    Pac fought a legit punching bag that was also on the back 9 of a career that was literally far less than what he gets credit for.

    Marg was always the safest fight any ww or jmw could take that had a name. That was BA greatest career feat, making AM a name in boxing.

    Loma would get annihilated Vs TC, yes they are very close in weight but TC is much too talented and long for Loma, career suicide for loma

    This is what I don’t like. You Lomachenko fans and Loma himself said Rigondeax who clearly had a size disadvantage is basically the same size as Loma when it was not the case. Now use the same argument against Loma facing Crawford and sudddwnly OP is an idiot and troll.

    Keep in mind also you guys claim Loma is a fighter we’ve never seen before and is p4p #1. Are we agreeing there’s weight classes for a reason or are we jumping over one side of the fence to another when it’s convenient?

    We already know the deal. You guys can front all you want. Lomachenko’s skill is already fading at 135 meaning his unbelievable skill is having difficulty nullifying the size of the opponents he’s facing. Duran didn’t cry about weight or size against Leonard and keep in mind some of you clowns think Loma is better than Duran. This is why I can’t take you dudes seriously when you talk p4p.

    We know who that dude is. It isn’t Lomachenko. He’s not cleaning out divisions. There’s already more red flags in place in such a short period of time than Crawford’s 30+ fights. Stop fanboying.

    The kicker that’s really going to shut down a lot of this talk is when Loma faces Beltran who will have more success against him than he did against Crawford. Then you’ll see the limitations more clearly especially since you guys claim Bud has fought nobody.

    If you guys are excusing the supposed most skilled fighter ever for being to small for Crawford, that’s admitting you don’t believe in your guy or his mythical skill period.

    GGG vs Joshua next ???

    Not even remotely close in size. 20-1 odds would be fair money honestly.

    Loma is the finest boxer alive. Let him prove it against Garcia, Beltran, Tank, etc.

    Crawford should have only one thing on his mind....the inevitable matchup with Errol Spence Jr.

    No, they are not around the same size. Crawford is considerably bigger. Height is irrelevant. Loma could easily fight at 130. Crawford could never get that low.

    Tyson & GGG are roughly the same size too...they’re both 5’10” and their reach is 70-71”.
