Either Loma is not afraid of losing or he feels like he can beat anybody

    I don't buy the bs about protecting your zero to keep your stock up. If you put in effort, make the fight competitve and entertaining then your stock usually goes up. I respect the hell out of fighters who will fight anyone, at anytime. Jack, Degale, Porter, Rios, Lee, Bradley, Usyk, Loma, Marquez, Manny, Froch, etc.

    Good. If you quit like that ***** then I don't ever want to see your face in a boxing ring again.

    Same reason that Gonzalez was willing to fight anyone. Annual income for Nicaraguans is $430. The average Ukrainian lives on $2,400 a year.

    Ward was moving up in weight against a heavy puncher, Linares is a good puncher but he`s not as feared as Kov was.

    I feel Garcia wins, too big and his defense is sound.

    How is your answer even relevant to this topic’s title, LOL? Because every boxer wants to earn more (that’s why they are pro, and not amateurs anymore in the first place) but not everyone is moving up weight categories so fast and fighting opponents of such high caliber (as Loma does).
    Are you trying to say that he’s desperate for money? :) No, that’s not the case. Lomachenko has an excellent contract with TR (independent lawyers which helped him to check it were surprised how he had managed to sign it on such good conditions). And Linares wasn’t even a big money fight for him – Loma earned almost the same as for the Rigondeaux fight. If Lomachenko only wanted money he would be happy fighting all those boxers that Arum would be happy to feed him. Loma would be able to do it till he’s 40, I guess. :)

    Sign to fight Crawford then, as they're much closer in size than Rigo and Loma were.

    Rigo turned pro at 122.
    Loma at 126.
    Crawford at 135 when he was 20 years old.

    "much closer in size" lol

    It’s great for boxing. I also think Errol Spence has a similar approach to Loma, tryna fight the best.. I don’t get how you can hate it!

    Yes much closer in size.

    Crawford - 5'8

    Loma - 5'7

    Rigo - 5'4

    Keep gargling those Loma nuts though.

    Provided it’s at reasonable weight and it’s at least a 50/50 split he’ll sign for that too.

    There are weight classes, not height classes you ****ing moron. You might as well claim that Dwight Muhammad Qawi was the same size as Lomachenko because Qawi was 5'7. You are probably not THAT dumb, just an intellectually dishonest scumbag who pushes his xenophobic agenda against EE fighters.

    Calm down, the man just fought two p4p fighters back to back, give him an easier fight first before fighting Garcia
