Lomachenko should not move up in weight anymore

Loma can still make 130, that's all you need to know.
He only moved up because other champs wouldn't fight him.

 

Y'all act like Pac is tossing offers left and right to Loma.

All Pac has essentially done is say 'Yes, i'd fight him'... That's not an offer or anything.

BTW, what Mikey 'would' do to Linares is irrelevant unless he ACTUALLY did it.

 

You can claim anything would happen, the fact is that Mikey ducked Linares to fight some bum for a paper title.
What does the Spence fight have to do with Loma? Other than being evidence that Mikey is so scared of the other champs in his division that he is willing to take the pressure off by fighting two weight classes against an opponent he is expected to lose against. That doesn’t take balls, that’s a calculated move to dodge Loma and keep his hype going. I don’t blame him for it, I think it was a smart move. But it’s also clear what he’s doing, and it’s also clear that Lomachenko has always been willing to fight any other champ in a weight division he is campaigning at. The only fights Loma has ever really been hesitant about is the Rigo fight (because of the size disparity and he knew it wasn’t as meaningful) and the proposed Pac fight (because he knows Pac is past it and it would basically be an exhibition fight, with the hassle of weight to be sorted out). Loma has consistently said and proved that he wants to fight best. Mikey has consistently said he wants to fight the best and then backed out. Mikey didn’t want Gamboa, Lomachenko and Linares when he was in the mix for those fights. Why is that? Do you want to get thrashed by your equals or take a beating against someone you’re expected to lose against? Come on, let’s be real. I expect Garcia to quit against Spence before he takes any real punishment.

 

I personally like to believe 135 is loma's best weight but really he has only 1 fight at the weight against the arguably number 2 guy in the weight. There's no shame in getting kd by the number 2 guy. It's too early to judge loma not being as good at 140 and up. If i have to give a rouh guess 140 will be like how 147 is to pac, a land of giants.

 

I'm not a Pac fan.

 

Everytime you post you check youre own nuts. Get off Lomas **** and let him fight. What do you mean 'what does Spence have to do with Loma?' Hmmmm.... Hes actually steppi g UP to the plate against a much bigger fighter.

 

Yep. Mayweather basically threatened Davis with Loma, for stepping out of line. Now that he’s moved up, they’re all like

 

Selectively is just a word. And as other posters have said, all boxers are selectively matched. I know he's now 30, but a world title fight 2 fights in, that he happened to narrowly lose on the cards, winning a world title 3 fights in, beating Rigo after 9 or so fights and being a 3 weight champion already within 11 fights...

I think you are being petty. How would you have mapped out his 11 fight wonder route?

 

I agree, completely, his natural weightclass at this point is 130. He's already "daring to be great" (don't like this phrase but whatever) by fighting above his natural weight. If you compare Loma to top LWs, he's smaller than all of them.

Linares was visibly bigger, Easter is way bigger, Mikey is bigger, Beltran is bigger. The only guys his size really are Pedraza and Gamboa, but they're not really natural LWs either.

130 is his ideal weight where he wouldn't get outsized by anyone really unless they're freakish size for the weight.

 

He's taking the punk way out. This is the new move in boxing - jump two weight classes, claim you're a "G", "warrior", "chasing legacy".... and then getting your **** pushed in on fight night. And why? To avoid, at any and all costs, the possibility of losing to a smaller man.

Saw it with both Khan and Brook. Both had serious damage done to them. Garcia will be beat like a dog in there and will likely have lasting damage done. However, in his mind that's better than having your ears boxed off for 12 rounds by little Lomachenko in front of millions.

After a savage knockout (Khan) or having multiple facial bones crushed in (Brook) he can then chase other pay days against guys like Loma and if/when embarrassed, "b-b-but im not the same as before Spence, b-b-b-but at least i had the BALLS!"

Quite the opposite of balls, it's a sick mentality that's becoming common to duck an opponent.

 

But Loma isn't Khan or Brook and the talent staying at the weight or moving up isn't the same in gulf. Unsure why the immense hatred spews.

 

You make me sad, there’s not much that can be done to improve IQ.

 

Why the heck not?

 

Im an idiot. I am a big Pac fan, but not like a groupie level like some of his fans or FMJ fans. But ya I really like him as a fighter
