    Can he still be a factor at LW?
    Will he get robbed by the judges in a close fight with a younger up-and-comer?

    What say you?

    And please don't say Loma should retire, he's actually 5 months younger than everyone's P4P King Bud Crawford.

    I’m a fan of Lomachenko but he refused to fight Shakur Stevenson but because the forum members are big fans of him they ignored it. I guess that he’ll fight George Kambosos Jr next year.

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that he should move down to 130 and fight Navarette. It's a winnable, very marketable fight, and there exists an opportunity to unify at that weight.

    He's undersized at lightweight, and his chances of getting a decision against either Stevenson or Tank, even if he could turn-the-clock-back for one more night, are no better and (probably worse) than they were against Haney.

    I think he outboxes Tank. Tank has missiles though so who knows

    Fight any of the big names at 135 or below. He beats all of them. Shakur is the only one I would put at 50/50. I think he comfortably beats Tank and already showed he is a class above Haney.

    Loma was trying for a rematch w/ Haney. That's his priority. No one ignored the Stevenson stuff

    Haney was always moving up to 140. Once the negotiations ended Lomachenko was offered the Stevenson fight but declined. I don’t blame him but I’m just calling out the hypocrisy.

    When it became clear that Haney was moving on, why did he refuse to fight Stevenson for a title?

    Why not email Lomachenko. Just stating what his intentions were at the time.

    He absolutely battered Devin Haney and got robbed and now Haney is ducking a rematch. I think that Loma's spirit has been broken by this corruption I wouldn't blame him if he retired. It's no coincidence now that he is 35 and 2 weight classes above his natural weight that these young guys have finally found their nuts and have started calling him out.

    Why fight Stevenson and risk getting robbed yet again. The Haney debacle was bad enough but Euro fighters NEVER get the nod over the American on US soil. It’s all bull**** but is what it is.

    Didn’t Kambosos say he wants to fight Lomachenko?
