    Gervonta never gonna fight Loma so thats mute. Teofimo I give you that. The rest are C level guys, means nothing for his legacy. I hold Loma to the same standard as I hold any p4p #1, if Floyd or Pac was fighting Crollla for anything other than a bad tuneup, they'd be a laughing stock.

    And they may all be better than Ryan, but at least Ryan has the *potential" to be something special even if he turns out to be seriously overhyped, there's some hope that he could bring star power to the LW division.

    How is a guy who is Mikey's leftover even an option for p4p #1? I thought leftovers were a no-go anyways.

    Crolla would lose to all 3 belt holders to at least two weight divisions below.

    Total mismatch and just a pay check for both fighter.

    Eddie will sell it as the best fight of the year on PPV...

    I know it’s a mandatory and they originally wanted a unification but that fell through because of injuries and crolla seems like a decent bloke so not going to go ott shitting on this fight but..

    Crolla has nothing that he’s better at than loma crolla has great workrate but so does loma also this is one of them fights were the boxer is also the bigger puncher of the two it’s just such a mismatch.

    Ant is tough though but I see loma dropping him once or twice probably with some body shots then Tesco joe throwing in the towel late on.

    I hope they pull Crolla out quickly, this is going to be a one-sided beatdown. Crolla is tough but the fact is that he is a couple of levels below Lomachenko.

    For me this bout is all about answers to Loma’s shoulder - will he use his right hook this fight? Is he comfortable with it now, and how has he recovered from surgery? Ant Crolla is a sturdy opponent, and will give his all, I like that about him, but it’s very hard to look beyond another Vasily win - if the shoulders back to it’s near best then I’ll go TKO in the 8th, otherwise I think Crolla could battle to a very creditable loss on decision.

    Corolla to win via.....err....hustle? Fouling? Good ol' British pluck!?
    I truly hope Crolla can actually catch up with Loma, if he literally can't even "get there" to lose the exchanges, it could become an awful aesthetic.

    Fantastic - more 'daring to be great' propaganda just like Fielding vs Canelo..

    Well, what can you do if a p4p'er comes knocking?
    I agree Crolla has as much chance as a flea fart in a hurricane but he has to remain positive, no matter how much face-palming people do.
