Is it too early to compare Lomachenko to all time greats?

I think he'll have a hard time getting a meaningful fight. He'll be viewed as high risk low reward now. He should get out of his head that he has to stay at 135, though. There's nothing for him there if Lopez doesn't give him a rematch.

A fight with Mikey is what I wanted for him for years, but don't think Mikey would be very interested. Absolutely not at 135.

 

I personally think 130 is his best weight, and at 135 he has already beaten top names who are already aiming for title shots against Lopez - shots I personally think they would lose. 130 seems sort of unfinished for Loma, and Berchelt would be a good fight for him against a champ.

As mentioned by Bokaj, Mikey is basically out of the question. Loma has some thinking to do on his career avenues.

 

Gary Russel, but he never fights.

 

That will mostly depend on what Arum wants to do.

Don’t play w me bro

 

The man who revolutionized boxing, and invented the matrix style, loses to a guy with a low guard.

Back to the drawing board for the modernistas

 

Yeah. It's quite hypocritical how fans whine on fighters for not taking on enough challenges and then completely lose interest in them when they do and fail.

MMA fans seem to be much more forgiving. Losing a few fights isn't a big deal, you'll still get more chances if the drive is there. Gaetje was KO'd twice in a row, but still got to come back and prove his worth and now he's in a great match-up with the most dominant champion around today.

 

You've really become quite obsessed with this, haven't you? You went straight down into the rabbit hole when you didn't get agreement that film of Fitz and Corbett represents the best we have on film of boxing.

 

U wot m8?

 

ah I see now

modernistas got warm chests rn confirmed

 

Loma still looked like an ATG at 126 and 130. He never looked that way at 135.

 

I personally haven't changed my opinion of Loma. He's still for me one of the most skilled fighters I've seen and think he'd hold his own with anyone his size. It's more that Lopez showed himself to be more than just crazy explosiveness and power, but also already a skilled and cerebral fighter. He could go far, at least below WW. I think too much of his natural advantage in power would ge lost above 140.

 

You took time to track that down, or have just bookmarked it? My god.

And just how do you figure that Lopez is "many fighters"?

 

It took me 45 seconds to find. And you’re not invited to my birthday party

 

I see talk that Loma should go back to 126. Seems a bit much for me. Isn't he a pound or two above 140 in the ring? Draining some 15 lbs seems a bit much in your 30's, especially since he'd probably dominate 130 as well.
