    Excuses? Really? That's the first thing that enters your mind? That suggests you aren't capable of open minded conversation Bandeedo.

    When exactly did he turn down fights w/ Pac?

    BTW, all pac has actually done is said he'd fight him at 140. That's just called 'Talk' Bandeedo. Loma said 135 would get it done, which I am aware is unrealistic. But then again, you think a guy who was small at 135 should jump to 140 already. How 'fair' of you...

    And which chavez?

    And now Marquez who's essentially been retired?

    Got any dates to apply to these, or do you just naysay other opinions?

    yes, lance. in 10 years there is no evidence of me having an open minded conversation. what i wrote is pretty easy to decipher, unless youre looking for things to make it not true. try just seeing the truth for truths sake, not lomas sake.

    I think it has more to do with him refusing to take PEd's and risking a hit on his legacy than him just not naturally being able to jump weight like previous generations. No other generation has been under the PED gun like this generation of fighters. Who is the one weight jumping superstar in boxing right now? Canelo. Clean as ****.

    i think mikey is. 5 divisions in only 10 fights. surprised there isnt 10 threads already claiming how he has to be on peds, i mean, who else would be able to do that without peds if loma cant?

    And hes also always been a noticeably larger man, regardless of what class ge was fighting in. Mikey is a natural 140-147.

    Why not just talk about thew actual topic here. I never said you NEVER have open minded conversation, just that going immediately to that "Oh, they are excuses" crap doesn't suggest you are being open at this time.

    SO...when are you going to try to provide anything about all these 'ducks' from Lomachencko on Pac, Chavez, and Marquez?

    Like I said, Pac has had several names attached. Did they all duck pac, or did he duck those he didn't fight either? Certainly when a fighter is expressing multiple opponents, you realize he cannot fight ALL OF them. So some talks go nowhere, which is the point.

    Anyone that clearly doesnt see that Loma is a small guy even at 135 is either an idiot, hater or just biased. That dude is tiny. He has no business going any higher than 135.

    so what, pac had no business fighting dlh, mikey has no business fighting spence, arguello had no business fighting pryor, and on and on... thats what made them better than those around them, not beating guys they are suppose to beat or where they hold the big advantages. loma is a great fighter, but he has set his own ceiling, im not convinced his fans know better than he does what that ceiling is. arguello could have fought a smaller threat, so can mikey, but they shot for the real throne.
    maybe loma has bigger accomplishments in mind for his future, but if he does, he better get a move on cause hes running out of names to help with those accomplishments. or, he could rest on what hes done so far, which is more than enough to crown him an atg by most of his fans.
    lomas fanboys automatically assume im not a fan of loma because im realistic about who he is, but i believe he is who he shows me he is, an extremely talented fighter willing to take certain available fights only under a certain level of risk. the level of risk is what i am comparing with others who have faced similar challenges.

    Hahaha this guy is a Mikey fan who thinks he has a great resume. Why did Mikey turn down Linares? Why didn’t Lomachenko? Hahaha this clown.

    Mikey would knock Linares's balls loose, stop it. If Mikey ends up fighting Spence, hes pretty much forcing lomas hand. Spence is clearly naturally 2 weight classes bigger than Garcia. Mikey is looks about that same size disparity compared to Loma. If he goea through with this fight, win or lose, he had the BALLS to do it. Does Loma?
