    Straight after the Lopez fight if he unifies 135.. I also think Lopez is at most 2 fights away from 140.. leave 135 to the entitled drama queens & email champions..

    Even if he loses, I think Loma can go back down to 130 and win a title there.

    130 is fine for me with Loma - he can fight Berchelt, Santa Cruz, Valdez, Diaz, Colbert, Arboleda, Yaqubov, Frampton, Roach, Herring, Farmer etc

    Lots of decent to very good fights there for him. Obviously some better that others in that list.

    He has stated he wants to unify at 135 then go back to 130. Fine by me.

    Ya know, Lopez looks like an atg in the making. Power, skills and speed are there. This is a very tough fight for Lomo, and if he wins, as I suspect he will, credit won't come for many years later.

    Agree. After you unify the division what else is there to do?

    Tank Davis isn't taking the fight. No way in hell. Ryan Garcia isn't taking the fight. Bob will be damned if he gives Haney the fight after the kid refused to sign with TR. They might consider Felix Verdejo, but really, what's the point of that?

    It's better seeing Loma at his peak weight. Go back to 130lbs and make the Berchelt fight. It's the best matchup available.

    Herring, Valdez, Frampton, Tevin Farmer (if he's still with Dibella its possible, ellerbe unlikely) are possible fights that could get made as well. Of course some of these names need to go to Shakur Stevenson as well to keep building him.

    Everything ends with Loma v. Shakur.

    That Loma's statement is kinda old. But I don't disagree if he will really do it.

    Loma's main target, Gervonta Davis, is now in 135. Even there is big possibility Berchelt will go and fight there next year. That left 130 with who ? Jojo, Shakur ? None of them are match to Loma.

    There's nothing at 130 for Loma. If he moves down to 130, it will hurt his legacy. Even Berchelt isn't going to hang around at 130 for too much longer.

    135 has the great hopes in Ryan and Haney, though with both guys being like 5' 10", they won't be there for long.

    I don't think that Loma is going back to 130. What's the reason to go back there? He has physical disadvantages at 135?

    He is small for 135.
