    I'm one of the bigger Loma fans on this board. That being said you need to shut up. Just shut up.

    Crawford never fought below 135 in the pro ranks. Loma is fighting at 135 in his 3rd weight division. Crawford was long gone from 135 before Loma thought about moving up to 35.

    It's bad, but some of the junk hypothetical matchup threads have it covered.

    He’s hunting Canelo or at least trying to line his ducks, he needs a name to define his career and he is on a path to Canelo, this might not actually be true but it’s what iam praying for.
    But I saw something about Fundora not going to be cleared to fight in the 180 day to fight his mandatory Crawford because he has been medically suspended by the Nevada State commission for 6 months, so Crawford could fight for the wbo strap in an interim title fight potentially, as far as I’m aware once or if the wbo strip Fundora and then if Crawford won he would have to fight fundora next.
    I have heard that there’s a rematch clause for Tim and Sebastian but it would have been mentioned by now surely, so if Sebastian isn’t cleared to fight his mandatory (Crawford) and he gets stripped, who will Crawford fight? I’ve seen Josh Kelly mentioned and Tim as well, how is Josh Kelly anywhere near getting a chance? and how can Tim get a shot after getting beat by Fundora? then there’s Spence who is trying to jump the queue.
    It’s a lot of madness for me but I think the wbo don’t want fundora as champion.
    But can Crawford recall his mandatory request?
    I feel sorry for bud if he has to fight Josh Kelly for a interim title

    Crawford is just way too big and powerful for Loma. This is an absurd suggestion.

    What Crawford would do to Loma would be akin to a crime scene.

    Imagine what a three division heavier but naturally a lot bigger than that Loma with an 8.5'' longer reach would do to Crawford
