Yes pick the weakest one One weight champ Beterbiev's resume Just 4 world champs fought to Loma's 11 in the same amount of fights All Beterbiev's size not close to 2, 2 or 3 divisions heavier World champs Gvozdyk Joe Smith Jr. Past/well past prime champs Tarovis Cloud Campillo Marcus Browne Hot Rod Callum Johnson Koelling Dienes
Is it not enough that he actually challenges himself and fights a couple of divisions above where he belongs? Everyone else in Boxing sucks balls. Spence and Crawford are afraid to fight people their own size. Same applies for the other lightweights outside of Loma. We will get Loma vs a 140 pounder for a title before we ever see tank, garcia, haney fighting each other
Did you actually watch Loma vs the way bigger and heavier Linares, Commey, Pedraza, Nakatani, Campbell almost all of whom are big or very big punchers (and even Crolla who isn't a big puncher)? He was aggressive as hell against all of them and they all either got knocked out, stopped or dropped And those were just his other fights at 135
Hard to beat world champs when you're hogging all the belts. There are 4 world title belts at 175. Beterbiev won a vacant title. Then unified against another champ. Then unified against another. Now seeking to fully unify against a 3rd. How many times has Loma unified? Campbell wasn't the champ. The IBF was vacant. I suppose he unified against Pedraza. And that's being generous because you would have believe that the gay ass The Ring title is actually a world title.
The ring Title signifies who the best in the division is. The Lineal title is for someone who beats the champ dummy.
Hard to unify when the other champs openly admit they want no part of you That's why he moved up, Sigmund Floyd Because the other champs wanted no part of him or because unification match ups couldn't be made for whatever reason Twink has been shamelessly ducking Loma for like 6 or 7 years GRJ wanted no part of a rematch even though he claimed he would beat Loma 99 times out of 100 Lee Selby is on tape saying he wanted to wait like a year/year and a half before he would go anywhere near Loma He unified twice at 135, winning three belts individually in his weakest division, one he doesn't belong in and one full of giants At 135 Fight 1. Prime WBA champ Linares who was ranked #1 and was ranked #11 P4P Fight 2. Unification match up against prime WBO champ Pedraza which was a very tough fight indeed for someone coming back from shoulder surgery just seven months earlier and most fighters take an easy touch or much lesser opponent coming back from an injury and surgery like that, let alone jump into a unification match up against a highly skilled much bigger world champion Fight 3. Mandatory challenger and former WBA champ Crolla after IBF champ Commey pulled out of unification match up with Loma due to injury Fight 4. WBC unification match up against prime Campbell in his backyard Fight 5. Unification match up against prime IBF champ Teofimo in his backyard Fight 6. Prime top contender Nakatani who KO'd Verjedo and gave Teofimo 12 rounds of hell, which again was a very tough opponent for someone coming back from shoulder surgery eight months earlier Fight 7. Prime former IBF champion Commey I never said Campbell was a world champion If not for Commey pulling out injured his first four fights at the weight would've had new belts on the line, the fourth being for undisputed, winning three individually and trying to win all four individually in a division full of giants
Its right there, Loma absolutely battered him the last six rounds and got absolutely jobbed on the cards.
