Loma in 3 fights at his new weight already won a belt, then unified titles and defended them, all that in 1 year, in the meantime he had a shoulder surgery, its not only his or his father's talent but the guy works hard and deserves that p4p status for his achivements
Dont know if those statistics are still correct 5'10" and 70" (when they were taken, when he was 17 maybe) but Garcia looks taller, longer with wider shoulders and back than all his opponents, should judge his ability when he'll be fighting guys at 140, 147
cause boxing fans know what time it is, he's known as a cheater and his career is guided with selected opponents, who would give a **** and chose as your favorite fighter like this guy
people seem to forget how Derevyanchenko had a close decision vs Golovkin, SD was protected be Harvey Dock fouling all night, rabbit punching or slapping and pushing GGG head down, elbowing, constant low blows, head butting, he was allowed to do anything, you name it hes done it. And after all that GGG dropped him, landed more punches and made more damage on SD
just a little reminder https://youtu.be/_3nnA0WqOlw
dont need to go that far, beat convincingly at least one legit champ in his prime (28-32 y.o) at his weight class (160-168), nobody asked for Jacobs fight after he lost to Golovkin, nobody asked for Kovalev, and surely noone has asked for Fielding, Canelo had picked them and DAZN who wanted GGG trilogy happen in 2019 said OK to these 3 fights, now its time for DAZN to choose his next opponent
they should've made a super 6 or even super 8 tournament at 175, Beter and Bivol ranked number 1 and 2 (can only cross in the final), and Zurdo, Pascal, Alvarez, Smith, Salamov, Buatsi, Browne, Badou, Yarde, Benavidez...you name it - the contenders
Jacobs was a regular wba champ and somehow became GGG' mando, corruption, it doesnt work this way, tell Pac his next fight is Besputin-Butaev or Ugas-whoever winner, if not he'll be stripped, so Jacobs and wba threatened Golovkin of stripping off his wba super belt if they dont fight and pay Jacobs what he asks for, was it like 65/35
The story about Loma and Lopez isnt the same, nobody pushed Lopez to talk about Loma in first place, he was given an opportunity so early in his carrier to fight for the world title against Commey, now he's given another opportunity and exactly what he's been asking for - unification fight with Loma, nobody' forcing him, he's got all right in front of him - titles, money, fame
all irrelevant and a bunch of words.....jacobs was made an offer and rejected it......the people, likely yourself, swore he was scared and looking for a way out..until golovkins team came correct and he gladly took the fight....
lol@talking about being "given opportunity"...you mean like loma getting a world title fight in his 2nd pro fight? lol
yeah lopez is in a situation he asked for...but that doesnt mean hes going to take under what his people think is his market value....just like jacobs wasnt going to take less either
I've never said that Jacobs and Teo were scared of GGG and Loma, what i'm trying to explain is that those guys beating Quillins and Commeys dont deserve 60/40 splits with longest-reigning established champions and top pfp fighters just because they (Jacobs and Teo) are americans
In HW - Baha Jalolov, 25 y.o, 6'7 southpaw from Uzbekistan, well, the whole uzbek Olympic team are top prospects - Melikuziev, Madrimov, Ergashev, Giyasov, all southpaws or changing stances, all pro-style type of boxers with power
Its says "elimination bout" on WBA page, dont think its "final" but Haymon is gonna have to sacrifice one of his fighters sooner or later, it wont be unified champ, may be Lara, Madrimov thinks he's still the best SWW
Who would believe that Joshua has never taken anything, british anti-doping agencies are not the most trusted and clearly privileges their own athletes, like all countries should actually do defending their sportsmen, independent agencies dont exist, its just another tool to have a control, hidden weapon like they say
Despite them all being elite talents, there are fighters clearly better.
Clearly better, who are those clearly better than Loma in his range of 126-135, for example, may be Salido, who avoided rematch, or for Pac in between 140-147, or you mean overall p4p standing, you can't have "clearly better" vision if they don't fight each other. Even Canelo isnt better than GGG, forget about clearly. But this might be a theme for another topic to discuss, we'll name it "clearly better"
Pac is the only household name. He’s loved by everyone outside this website.
I dont think you need to be a "household name" to be hated by any fanbase, but yes, GGG trains and lives In Southern California, for 10 years now
His manager Kornilov a while said that they have a choice and they've been negotiating with some future opposition, so i think you cant call it a last minute opponent, he should be at least in shape and not coming of some layout, any 5 to 15 175lbs
