What weight class will Lomachenko end up in?

140 is already pushing it. No way he ends up at 147. I can see Loma having a decent run at lightweight. He wont have the pop the beat the bigger skilled guys. He cant even knockout guys at featherweight.

he can dominate welter 147

Probly 140 and then fight catch weights against 147lbers like floyd does with 154lbers if hes a big enought name by then which i think he will be.

So in my view it was much closer... Rigo hits a bicycle, he is boring and yet still lands amazing straights and counters.... While Lomo hits it and doesn't attempt to counter. We must have watched different fights, because from the whole fight Russell maybe got 3 rds, and those three would have to be gifts. He got outworked and didn't land jack ****, you couldn't give him a round if you wanted to, Loma would have one the around by "effectively slipping and ducking" anything that Russell threw at him.

One day he will fight at 147. It's just a mater of putting on some muscle which he can easily do. There are plenty of 5'6" welters. But at welter even with his skill the size of some of his potential opponents might be too much to overcome. So I think he could still be the top dog at 140 but 147 is stretching it. He can take a **** so he is not a KO waiting to happen, and he doesn't need to have the pop at higher divisions because he will still outpoint anyone.

Majority Decision either due to a Blind or Corrupt Judge. I guess Floyd barely squeaked by Canelo and Maidana the first fight also huh? Personally I thought the fight was much closer than perceived. Rounds 1-4 Russell. Lomo had alot of trouble with work rate early and allowed Russell to pick the pace.. I found round 5 for Lomo with good combos but round 6 he hit the bicycle and allowed Russell to out work him... I gave Lomo round 7 because of the last 40 seconds he landed big with combos but he barely squeaked out with that round. Round 8 went back to Russell who determined the pace and was throwing the jab at will. Round 9 I personally saw a knock down for Russell who laid out a big 3 punch combo and continued to pick the pace of the fight. I'd give Lomo 10, though it could have gone either way; Russell was out landing him till the 1 minute mark when Lomo started landing big... Round 11 was close as well but I believe Lomo got the round because of his late activity. Round 12 I gave to Lomo who hurt Russell. So in my view it was much closer... Rigo hits a bicycle, he is boring and yet still lands amazing straights and counters.... While Lomo hits it and doesn't attempt to counter.

He doesn't look like a big FW to me, he's only slightly taller than Gamboa. Now Walters is a big FW. I'm not saying he couldn't compete at WW, but I think his ideal weight will be around LW.

Did Lomo? No he didn't. His 3rd yes but then again Rigondeaux has fought at least on P4P fighter and plunked him. Lomo fought Russell Jr, who so many dislike because of his TBA run of opponents and Lomo still only got a SD win against untested Russell. Majority Decision either due to a Blind or Corrupt Judge. I guess Floyd barely squeaked by Canelo and Maidana the first fight also huh?

Did he win that fight? Rigo has proved his worth with little pro fights but Loma needs time to beat a notable fighter like Donaire. If he beats Walters or Jhonny he'll no longer be hype. He can never remove the Loss to Salido though and if skills pay the bills the size shouldn't have mattered. Gary Russel is his best win so far for a vacant title. I'm not saying he's **** I'm just saying he needs to earn the hype he receives. I could give two ****s about the Olympics this is the pros. He jumped into deep waters early, fought Salido too soon and probably worried about stamina. He still gave Salido real work late in that fight and I guarantee if they fought again, he would have an easy time with him now. He looks comfortable as a pro now.

Did Rigo win the title on his 2nd pro fight or 7th pro fight ? Did Lomo? No he didn't. His 3rd yes but then again Rigondeaux has fought at least on P4P fighter and plunked him. Lomo fought Russell Jr, who so many dislike because of his TBA run of opponents and Lomo still only got a SD win against untested Russell.

With his age and skill i see no reason why he won't end up at least 140. 147 might be too far, would have to see how he looks at 35' and 40' but this guy has it all. Great distance awareness, and his body punching is excellent, especially the left uppercut. He can really pound a guys body! By the time he is 29-32, 140 lbs and top 3 p4p if not number 1.

135 or 140

I'd say at the very most 140 but the size difference may be too great. 135 seems much more likely. If he beats Walters then we can talk about this properly though. He hasn't done enough in my books yet to be deserving of the hype. I loved his amateur career but the pros are a different game. He seemed more content with dancing and showboating in his last fight which bothered me. And let's be real russel would have been stopped by a lot of guys, not necessarily Olympic medal winners. He is adapting well to the pro style but there's a good chance he gets outqirked by more seasoned pros. Walters right now seems like the best test for him.

He's 5'6 and already looks pretty full out at his current weight. Will likely physically max out at 130, fighting at lightweight off of sheer boxing skill. He's too small for 147 and is probably too small for 140, too.

he's 26....Sorry about the mistake on his age but my opinion remains the same. Most boxers are as big as they are ever going to be by age 26. Unless he thinks making 126 is making him weaker he should remain at that weight and not make things harder for himself by moving up in weight and fighting bigger, stronger, harder hitting men. If he thinks he will fight better at a higher weight then by all means move up. But he shouldn't just move up in weight for something to do. You don't see Rigo or Lara moving up in weight and these men are very lean. Hagler turned pro as a middleweight at 18 and remained a middleweight until he retired at 34.

135~140. he seems pretty muscular for his frame already.

He'll be at cruiser in 2029

I'm not saying he's **** I'm just saying he needs to earn the hype he receives. I could give two ****s about the Olympics this is the pros. lol so what? Fought for a world title in his second pro fight, won a world title in his 3rd equalling the record. The Salido loss was close and could have been scored to him. A loss really doesn't mean jack if you know the history of boxing. Rigo fought a guy with a 4-2-3 record in his second fight, and he was years older than Loma. Bottom line, the kid is seriously talented.

He already got beat by Orlando Salido lol weight advantage or not. I need to see more of him before thinking he can compete against bigger guys. Walters might derail him. For me right now he's a hype job with some kills. His resume isn't anything special and the best pro he's faced is Salido lol. Atleast he beat Russel who's giving another rematch to TBA. I want him vs Rigo to establish who's better but Uncle Bob more than likely wouldn't allow that. How many fighters fight a top 5 guy in his weight class on 2nd pro fight
