The Loma haters have got to be the most pathetic and wretched group of boxing fans I've ever encountered in all my years as a fan of this sport. I'll write a long post about it one day, when I can be bothered that is. FTR, this is not aimed at anyone in particular on here it's just a general observation.
Actually no it's not. He's picking up belts.. Career goal right now is to unify 135. Hence why he moved up... He owned Linares & Garcia ****ed off so I guess his next boogeyman will be Lopez... As for Crolla, blame the WBA. If Crolla is a mandatory then u have to fight him or lose the belt. It's not rocket science.. Keep up
You all make so many damn excuses and that man hasn't lost since Salido. His frame is average. He's built like a tank. He's a solid guy. Some guys are tall with short arms, some guys are short with long arms, some guys have broad shoulders, some guys have thin shoulders, if the man is 5'7, and solid at the weight. He's not small for the weight. As I stated a guy like Leonard Dorin was small for the weight. Gervonta Davis will be small for 135. Lomachenko, he isn't small for the weight. It's like some of you have to have a pre excuse for a loss, and the man probably won't lose again for a while still.
The man has a 65.5' reach. How about we call like it is? He is also noticeably shorter and smaller than Mikey Garcia so his listed height is likely inaccurate. So yes, he's small for the weight class.
He looked taller than Walters at the face off, and in the ring. That is when i first wrecked the Loma fanatic narrative that Loma was only 5'6. Now the Loma fanatics are trying to shrink a guy down that is 5'7 and change, and built like a tank. His reach isn't 65.5'. That measurement may be his wingspan, and may or may not be accurate. Wingspan and reach are two different things. Reach is armpit to the fist. Vernon Forrest was 6 feet tall, but had shorter arms than many of his opponents. You didn't see Forrest fans going around making excuse after excuse before fights, say he was at a reach disadvantage or whatever. smh. Every boxer has their own physical or athletic deficits. Stop with the prebuilt in excuses. As I stated, the man hasn't lost for a while, and probably won't lose anytime soon, seeing as how Arum is matching him soft.
Lol, that's his wingspan and it's still much shorter than average. Good try though. It's not an excuse, just reality. Do we hold it against Mayweather for not fighting at middleweight or light heavy? No we don't because he was obviously too small for those weight classes. Taller than Walters? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eqUbBFpaVFw/maxresdefault.jpg The same Walters that was the same height as 5'6 donaire? Also that's a strange example you put, considering Forrest was fighting from 140-154 at 6 foot with 73" reach. That's above average for those weight classes. Why would they complain about him being at a physical disadvantage when he was huge for his weight class lmao. You can complain about loma fans making excuses, but you're the one trying to diminish his physical disadvantages to make him look worse. Lol @ saying loma is built like a tank. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uB-Uz4QWnS4/hqdefault.jpg Yeah, well above 5'7 and built like a tank. Look at how much broader and taller he is compared to 5'6 Garcia! How ridiculous
Right now, all Loma has to do is get all of the belts. The Commey fight has been agreed to and that would make 3 out of 4. And right now the plan is to see what Mikey Garcia does. Either Loma gets to unify with Mikey or he unifies with Lopez(as is the plan). Eventually the guys at 130 will look to move up. Tank has been struggling with the weight for years now. Machado want´s big fights. Farmer would likely take the challenge as well. The only ***** boy of the division is Berchelt. He will finish his career at 130(If Loma holds all the belts at 135).
What a bad example you use for this discussion, Davis is 183cm tall with 185cm wingspan, and he fought in the fcking welterweight and superwelterweiht divison! He is taller and longer than most of his openents, his arms are at least average, no way they are short. This guy fought in 147 and 154 with a decent middleweight size. Event if you consider Davis has short arms, he still got the height. Loma in 135 is average in height(probably even not, 7 of top 10 is taller than him) and below average in wingspan.
