    What should be next for him? It doesn't look like Walters can make FW anymore. Should he just go up to 130?

    you guys don't understand Eastern Euro fighters like GGG and Lomo.

    They don't move up to chase bigger fights just because - they stay in their natural divisions and dominate as long as they can. They feel no pressure to chase fights in heavier divisions.

    just like they felt no pressure to turn pro until they were damn near 30yrs old.

    Lomo will keep defending at 126 and possibly rigo moves up.

    If Rigo is desperate, he should fight Loma

    nope loma has stated he wants to unify the division then move up, just like ggg

    unfortunately there is so many chicken sh.it fighters afraid to fight them that it is taken them a long time

    Hopefully not a soft touch

    Lomo vs Selby is good

    Lomo is a beast

    id love to see that fight but there is not a hope of this happening for a long time

    hearn has a world champion, he will have Selby fighting bums in Cardiff in front of massive crowds until his rolling in money. Hearn want to make loma vs Selby like he wants to give his credit card details to some guy online saying his won the Nigerian lottery

    I can't speak on Loma but GGG stated from the very beginning that he would fight anyone from 154 to 168 and this was right after his first fight in the states.

    If Walters cannot make weight, he should go after one of the other title holders--Selby, Cuellar (on the assumption that he is full WBA champ now), or even Russell Jr. (though I am in no hurry for that again) I think Mares and Vetyeka would be interesting, as well. Lots of quality options. The class is loaded.

    He was going to fight Walters at 126, but it looks like Walters will not be able to make weight.........................so................Lomachenko should fight the next best 126 lb. fight he can get................

    Really? You just want to see those guys get a shot, I get it.
    They obviously have as much chance at winning as Jeff Fenech
    does making 126 today and fighting Loma.

    Walter and TR wants the fight Loma and his manager don't want it they said he's not longer holds a belt but the true is the 145 lbs they will face.
