    I know you're a bot that doesn't hold your posts up to account but I will warn you and other Crawford apologists that he is going to be in the fight of his life against Horn who will surprise not just everyone writing him off but the Bully himself Crawford who has already attempted to verbally intimidate Horn.

    Crawford, you are in big trouble

    Crawford has to be the favourite being the bigger guy but nobody thought Pac could compete at welter either. Would be amazing to see another fighter move up the weights like Pac and Duran but it's a huge ask, as good as Loma is very, very few boxers are that good.

    If they fought at 130, Loma beats Crawford, 135 very close and 140 Crawford probably stops Loma
    However you can never rule Lomachenko out

    Doesn't matter if he won't let him present him with an opportunity or not, if you can't get your opponents respect he's gonna take alot of risks and throw more punches with conviction. Loma would be foolish to fight on the inside with Bud, where he would get thrown around like a ragdoll against the bigger, stronger opponent. He would have to rely on using angles and an in and out approach to score shots, exposing himself to Bud's jab and long range punches (i.e. Bud's forte).
    I don't use the Fighter A+B argument, I look solely at head to head matchups and style clashes. I see it this way, Loma wouldn't be able to hurt Crawford nor would he be able to stifle his offense for 12 rounds without a hitch. Loma would be in many situations where he would be forced to commit to an offense because of the immense pressure Bud would put on him, which in turn would cause him to unravel. Loma has been getting away with never coming out of his comfort zone, Linares showed that he can get frazzled and he can succumb to pressure. Bud is bigger, stronger, and MEANER than Linares. I just don't see how Loma could pull it off.

    Of course Loma beats Crawford at 130, he'd probably die of dehydration trying to cut down to that weight :qmeparto:

    Thought you said you was a Lomachenko fan! :lol: Stop pretending to be a fan of his, because it's really obvious you aren't when you talk like that ^.

    Anyway the thread is stupid, Lomachenko is too small for even lightweight. It's like making a thread on Crawford vs Golovkin or Groves. But P4P skills and overall ability wise Lomachenko is clearly above Crawford.

    How do you claim to know about me or my history when your join date was last Wednesday??? Thanks for outing yourself as a banned alt troll dummy. Im a loma fan and i have no interest in him fighting crawford and seeing him get destroyed. Id much rather see him face guys like mikey easter jr or tank davis all of which are better fights for loma to take.

    Skills and ability fly out the window when a fight turns into a war of attrition. Which is something Loma would definitely experience going against Bud.

    That could also be seen as a warning about jumping two weight classes above a boxer's ideal division....

    Most people who read the forum don't even have a account you fake fool, anyway no Loma fan would say '' he doesn't want that work'' , If Lomachenko fought Gervonta Davis and Davis won you'd be jumping up and down celebrating and you know you would, so quit the fake **** yeah cause I can see straight through it.

    Eh, doubt it. Horn is big and awkward but the only thing that's gonna do is make him a target. He might have some moments but he's gonna get beat into submission.

    We don't know if Crawford is better than Russell Jr at this point, Crawford's been facing weak opposition. Russell Jr has only lost to Loma and was a top amateur, Crawford couldn't get past domestic american level. I'd wanna see Crawford in with Spence or at least Porter, Thurman before I'd consider taking on board someone even suggesting he is on Lomachenko's level in any way.
