    That's what Bob Arum told to the LA Times that Lomachenko will move up to lightweight for his next fight, targeting Jorge Linares and Ray Beltran. A dream scenario would be.
    Garcia beats Linares.
    Lomachenko beats Beltran.
    Winners meet. :ggg

    I guess they will keep Loma away from strong aggressive pressure fighters. Disappointing.

    I favor Loma against any boxer between FW and LW, but I am very interested to se how he would do against Berchelt.

    Berchelt would be an interesting fight. I'd like to see that fight over Linares at 135 to be honest.

    Fighting Berchelt at 130 is a bigger challenge than fighting Linares (who was ducked by Garcia) at 135??? I see you are being reasonable once again.

    Berchelt has a belt at 130 and is prime he's tough and rugged and will bring the fight to Loma. Linares is not prime anymore IMO. Based on styles I think Berchelt is a harder fight than Linares is. Linares isn't going to outbox Loma nor is he going to knock him out, he has paper thin skin and is somewhat chinny. My reasons are very reasonable.

    Linares is more skilled than Berchelt and he is also bigger than him, plus more established, a bigger name. And he actually seems to want that fight unlike Berchelt. Therefore it is a better fight.

    Linares is not outboxing Lomachenko. Its an interesting fight to see how Lomachenko does at LW, but a fight with Berchelt would be very interesting considering strong rugged pressure fighters are probably Lomachenko's kryptonite. I would rather see Lomachenko fight berchelt before he moves up in weight.

    little bit disappointed tbh, they should have done everything possible to make the Berchelt fight, especially once the Mijares fight fell through. Loma is my favourite boxer but it does my head in a bit that he keeps leaving divisions without unifying. hopefully it will be Linares next, which for me will partially make up for the not unifying, although knowing Arum, it will probably be Beltran

    It's going to be beltran everyone knows bob loves in house fights that are pointless and it's not a good luck if your supposed to be p4p and your leaving all the weight classes without fighting the top guys or champions I know his been ducked by some but he could at least stay at the weight long enough to try and make the fights
