    I will agree with you on that one, Arum has done a horrific job with most of the 2012 Olympians that he signed, he's completely mismanaged Loma, Murata, Gvozdyk and Mekhontsev, and even Shiming.

    As par for the course, he's mismanaged their accounting books, for sure.
    Like Pac, one day Lomo will realize it and become distracted.
    Russell is already on record as saying he wants another crack at Lomo to avenge his loss. Not at all like Froch who said he wasn't interested in re-matching Ward because he just lacks the skills to beat him.

    Selby is the biggest coward of them all. Guy runs to Gaymon right when Lomachenko was looking at taking his belt. What a coward.

    Russell has been with Haymon for years.

    He was with him before Loma even went pro

    And he only got in the ring with Lomachenko because Haymon thought Loma was beatable after the Salido fight. I guess he has changed his mind since then

    They got in the ring because it was ordered by the sanctioning body.
    Period.

    Ive also heard Russell say he'd like a rematch someday.

    Don't think he'd beat Loma, but I don't for a second think hes scared of him

    His career is become a thing of misery. One of the best fighters ever having nobody to face rather than Peri Peri Sauce and Ko ass chair.

    Lomachenko is still insistent on unifying at featherweight (which I think is his best weight). But super featherweight right now is STACKED.

    Shiming has gotten a lot better than his talent level deserves. Name me one other fighter who isn't even top 10 in his division who briefly held a belt, gets to headline events, and be on tv in front of 30 million people. Loma and Murata just strike me as protected chickens.

    Donaire is a shadow of what he was, but that is still a hell of a scalp. It makes perfect sense seeing as how they are both under the same promoter too. Cash out Donaire and build up Lomachenko. I don't know why Arum didn't apply that formula to Crawford and Pacquiao.

    I'm talking about Selby, not Russell. What does Russell have to do with this conversation? If you mean that Russell fought Lomachenko; therefore, Selby can fight Lomachenko you are wrong.

    Russell was trying to get ahold of his first belt, and the WBO mandated they both fight for the vacant title. Gaymon only lets his guys fight outside the roster, most times, when it's mandated.

    Same old story, the nonsense of the pro game destroying an athletes career by wasting their prime. Lomachenko is too good for his own good, he is too determined to achieve his goals (unifying featherweight) for his own good. He should fight anyone at any weight, he'll be giving himself a disadvantage but he's good enough to do it.
