    Firstly I'd like to say Linares is a top drawer talent and his competitive match up with Lomachenko wasn't a surprise to me at all.

    Secondly Loma did look a little bit more vulnerable at the higher weight. So with that in mind who do we think is the heaviest champion he could beat and if he can beat multiple guys at a higher weight which one who is heavier fighting or the overall better fighter?

    Likewise for Mikey Garcia. Who is the biggest man you'd expect him to beat?

    If Pac can beat Margarito, Loma can beat Canelo.

    I think 140 is the ceiling for both, who I'd favor to beat Relikh for the WBA strap. I think they'd beat Ramirez but with less certainty, and I think the Cajun cat Prograis may be a step too far.

    No chance there. The way Nelo hydrates coupled with Loma's lack of power spells disaster. Then if he somehow danced around to a decision he'd lose all 12 rounds on the cards.

    Don't get me wrong I'd actually love it if the smug cheating little diva got his comeuppance but noone Loma's size is giving to him. Funny as a few years ago I was a Canelo fan but now I can't stand the sight of him.

    NO. Canelos is a lot better than Margarito and a lot bigger. Loma still hasnt proven hes as good a Pac and Floyd. Margarito had no skill and was shot against Pac Canelo is in his prime has skill, speed and decent power.

    I'd say he'd have a good chance at beating Valuev.

    There is a huge chance Loma gets Koed, however there is a chance Canelo gasses out and gets out worked.

    Loma is naturally smaller than Cotto, Margarito and Pacman.

    i think he just beat him, i dont think he can beat the top dog at 140, whoever it turns out to be. would make for some edge of your seat fights, though.

    I've seen posters compare him to Roberto Duran so I fully expect him to be middleweight champion of the world as he's sliding towards 40.

    No big deal, right? :lol:
