    He has been calling them out this year - but still no response from Loma however credit to Valdez after the Robson fight he said he wants the winner of Stevenson / Herring - after seeing the Shakur performance lets hope he wont end up doing a Loma and go all incommunicado

    The facts are Shakur wants the big names and calls all of them out much like Haney but it seems these two so called feather fisted fighters are the most avoided fighters in the division. lmao!!

    Lomachenko has too much ego to duck anyone. The reality is that, between he and Stevenson, Loma is the money guy. He is looking for bigger, more valuable fights. Once Shakur gains some worth Loma would fight him. One thing I know, it's a fight I would love to see.

    I love Valdez, hes a great fighter but hes kind of one dimensional in my eyes, i feel like Shakurs speed and naturally bigger size, will be too much for Valdez at this point. But hey, its a unification and either way, its great for boxing. Make it happen.

    Shakur was impressive doing what was needed to be done against Herring, who a faded Frampton made look like a world beater when, in fact, he's a solid pro who made the best of what he's got. So there's no reason to get giddy about Stevenson just yet...

    Loma has a fight Dec so maybe next year. Hopefully Valdez doesn't duck.

    I'd rather see Conceicao fight Shaker as Conceicao schooled ValPEDz and was robbed.

    Loma wants Comey and revenge on Duckfimo Lopez.

    Stevenson is an afterthought.

    Haney makes Malignaggi look like a power puncher, but Shakur can whack a little bit.

    Don’t think anyone is just walking through Shakur like they would Haney lol.

    Linares would get his lights switched off if he tried to do that business to Shakur

    Loma ducking ? There is no such thing if you know his character.

    he is at 135 now, he has no problem to move down but has unfinished business with Lopez.

    He can fight him after he will become undisputed at 135. At that time Shakur can fight Valdez

    I honestly think Haney is being blocked not because he is good at all (he’s pretty much a bum) but people don’t wanna give Hearn a pay day lol.

    Stevenson is plenty big enough to meet Loma at 135. Bet if they stand next to each other, Loma is the little guy.

    Valdez would be the next logical step to become a unified champion at 130lbs. Both with Top Rank, both undefeated too, makes perfect sense.

    Then we can talk about the winner which I think will be Stevenson moving up to fight Loma which is obviously for Stevenson the real test of his ability. I've always rated Stevenson think he's a future top P4P fighter but Loma will be the real test of that.
