    Loma is fighting the best. I have no doubt that Loma is gonna challenge Rigo, Santa Cruz, Selby and Frampton in the future.:bbb:smoke

    Even if you think his abilities as a pro are a little overstated, you gotta love the man.

    This man DOESN'T WANT TO WASTE HIS PRO CAREER by fighting bums and cherrypicked opponents.

    Full credit to Loma, whatever you think of his ability as a pro he's not worried about fighting anyone. It's a shame more fighters don't have his mentality.

    Loma has to pass Walters first. But not that those other fights couldnt happen if Loma loses to Walters.

    Walters ducked Lomachenko at LOMACHENKO'S PRIME WEIGHT CLASS, but still deserves credit for agreeing to get in the ring with Loma.

    Props to Loma, it's nice to see folks move up and test themselves.

    Loma is doing what Golovkin wouldn't. :hi:

    Golovkin is a savage puncher. That's why people like Canelo, Saunders and Jacobs are not risking their careers against him. They might get KTFO and their stocks would go down pretty badly. Look at what happened with Lemieux after he got battered by Golovkin.

    Lomachenko's had enough of fighting journeymen.
    Not ONE of the fighters you mentioned want to fight Lomachenko (other than Walters now).
    The only people that would most likely be willing to fight him are guys like Salido, Uchiyama, Vargas.

    Extremely excited about this fight both guys are awesome....I hope and pray this board can maintain a healthy competitive nature when discussing the particulars of the fight and not go off into a racially motivated tangent. Now I have to convince my wife that this is a blockbuster fight even though she could probably stop both of them via grappling stoppage heheheheeh lol

    For a good reason, Walter believes his reach advantage will greatly degrade Loma technical capabilities :think

    Been a fan of Loma from the start just due to mentality of wanting to be the best and Actually trying to prove it. Walters has also been on my rader since the Donaire win.
    This is a high quality fight hard to really pick, definitely a cant miss matchup.
