Who fights Kambosos next: Loma, Haney or somebody else?

If George the Great is chasing greatness as he claims and I believe he is he'll fight the most skillful fighter in the game bar none, the P4P# 8, who is infinitely more deserving than anyone else at 135. Or if not he could just fight featherfisted massive weight bully Haney who hasn't beaten a single prime world class 135 pounder let alone one even close to his size

 

At 135 alone Loma has beaten or fought

Fight 1. Prime WBA champ Linares who was ranked #1

Fight 2. Unification match up against prime WBO champ Pedraza which was a very tough fight indeed for someone coming back from shoulder surgery just seven months earlier

Fight 3. Former WBA champ Crolla after IBF champ Commey pulled out of unification match up with Loma due to injury

Fight 4. WBC unification match up against prime Campbell in his backyard

Fight 5. Unification match up against prime IBF champ Teofimo in his backyard

Fight 6. Prime top contender Nakatani who KO'd Verjedo and gave Teofimo 12 rounds of hell, which again was a very tough opponent for someone coming back from shoulder surgery eight months earlier

Fight 7. Prime former IBF champion Commey

All of whom were way bigger, longer (sans Crolla), heavier than Loma, and Lopez, Commey, Linares, Campbell and Nakatani are all huge/big punchers at 135, Linares and Lopez are super fast, and Linares, Pedraza, Lopez, Campbell are all highly skilled .

And five of his seven opponents at the weight were world champions or former world champion: Linares, Pedraza, Commey, Crolla and Lopez. And they were all world champions at that weight, a weight they're at their strongest and one Loma is at his weakest. He was even more brilliant down at 126 and 135 where he wasn't routinely giving away such huge physical advantages and so much weight


He looked spectacular shutting out a massive power punching former world champion lightweight who comes in at about 154 pounds with a KO 81% on two of the judge's card in what was a masterful performance of the art of the sweet science and defensive and offensive boxing against a foe who held huge physical advantages over him and who could've decapitated him in the blink of an eye if he made a mistake

Twink went life and death against an oompa loomp contender with the reach of a baby kangaroo who despite holding all the physical advantages over, having home advantage, and said oompa loomp having been taken the distance in four of his last five fights and not that big a puncher, he was terrified of entering into an exchange with and had to octopus grab and stiff-arm him all night to prevent him from fighting his fight and getting in close to unloaded with his combinations and he escaped with a controversial decision on the PBC judge's cards by a single point and an awful lot felt Cruz was the rightful winner. Even the vast majority who scored it his way only had him winning via a single point.

Who else has Twink beaten at 135?

A shot to bits 38 y/o Gamboa who is a natural 130 pounder at best, who should be 7-5 at 135, has stopped a grand total of two of his opponents at 135 one of whom was shot, and is chinny as hell (dropped in like 10 other separate fights), and who was fighting with the huge handicap of only having one good leg from round two onward after tearing his Achilles tendon and spent the remainder of the fight hobbling around like a cripple.

Imagine the crap Loma would get if he went life and death and won a controversial decision over a C level oompa loomp like Cruz in his backyard or needed 12 rounds to get a shot beyond belief one-legged Gamboa out of there

Now onto Haney

These are his best wins or rather his only good/decent ones

A well past prime near 36 y/o inactive Linares who was 3-2 in his previous 5 fights, both loses via KO, one to a badly injured natural 126 pounder, hadn't fought in 15 months (same energy?), who Haney was much bigger than. Loma knocked out a much bigger prime active Linares who hadn't lost in six years and who was ranked like #11 P4P by The Ring at the time with a badly injured shoulder which he injured in round 2. Linares was a legit world champion at 135 but that was 3.5 years ago when he was in his prime.

An even more shot beyond belief 39 y/o Gamboa than the one Twink KO'd in his previous fight who he is way bigger than. A younger Gamboa needed a gift from the judges to get by Loma victim Jason Sosa who Loma toyed with and beat the crap out of. Gamboa was a champion at 135 back in the Stone Age and was shot to bits and his form at 135 has been terrible.

Tiny little featherfisted oompa loomp Jojo Diaz who has spent the vast majority of his career down at 126 and doesn't belong above 130 at all let alone against giant 135 pounders like Haney who comes in at 155 or higher and has a whopping 7'' reach advantage over him. Diaz was lucky to get the decision against Fortuna in his previous fight and got his ass beat by Loma victim GRJ who Loma literally toyed with like he was nothing. And Fortuna was KO'd by Loma victim Sosa too. Jojo was a champion at 130 not 135


Haney is coming in at 155 or heavier in his first division beating up on much naturally smaller opponents who he holds huge physical advantages over, Loma is campaigning in his third division and one which is full of giants who are way bigger, longer and heavier than him and he's beating up prime world champions and top contenders who are/were world champions at that weight, the weight they're at their best and strongest and he's at his weakest and many of them are huge/big punchers for that weight who score HL reel KOs over fighters their own size.

Loma puts on a masterclass against a 154 pound power punching giant lightweight former LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION who sports a KO 81% at that weight who held huge physical advantages over him and could've euthanized him in the blink of an eye had he made a mistake

119-108, 119-108, 117-110 (last scorecard was way too kind to Commey)

Loma 5'7'' 65.5'' reach
Commey 5'8'' 71'' reach KO 82%
Ranked #5 by The Ring at 135 (#4 a week earlier)
Commey weighs at least two or three divisions more than Loma FFS

Twink scrapes by an oompa loomp contender who he held all the physical advantages over, and who has never won a world title and who was taken the distance in four of his last five fights and has to hold, and stiff-arm and get on his bike to even be able to make it that close

116-112, 115-113, 115-113

Twink 5.5'' 67.5'' reach
Cruz 5'4'' 63'' reach KO 60%
I don't think Cruz was even ranked in the top 10 by The Ring
Twink would've weighed more than Cruz or about the same at worst

Haney beats a tiny little feartherfisted blown up 126-130 pound oompa loomp who was having his second official fight at the weight, was lucky to get the decision in his previous fight at it, who was never a world champion at LIGHTWEIGHT, who despite being a complete featherfist and way smaller and only having stopped 2 of his previous 13 opponents rocked and Haney a number of times and even hurt him a bit a few times too

117-111, 117-111 and 116-112

Haney 5'8'' 71'' reach
Diaz 5'6'' 64'' reach KO 42%
Diaz was ranked #6 by The Ring despite only having one fight at the weight a razor close controversial decision over Fortuna
Haney comes in at 155lbs or heavier and it was a grotesque size mismatch

Neither Haney nor Twink could even hurt their smaller/much foes who were never world champions at 135 and were both taken the distance in very tough fights by them but Loma completely outclasses a massive punching former world lightweight champion who was way heavier and longer than him and drops the much bigger and heavier man hard in HL reel fashion and the only reason he didn't get him out of there is because he took pity on him.

Commey has only been down once before and that was from a perfect savage right hand from the biggest puncher in the division (oh yes he is) who's a gigantic 135 pounder with vicious one shot KO power in both hands too, not a blown up 126 pounder but the narrative is Loma couldn't stop a 154 pound very durable giant who was way bigger and heavier than him and no mention of Twink and Haney not even being able to wobble their smaller/much smaller foes

And this is without having to delve into Loma's achievements at 126 and 130

Both Twink and Haney are very good but stop with the BS

Loma looked far more impressive and is infinitely more deserving of a shot at Kambosos than either of them and it's not remotely close
