What if Loma stayed at 130 or 126 and weight bullied? Taking on everyone from 118 - 126. He would be another human cadaver like Bernard Hopkins: slim waist, tall and skeleton like. But no, Loma dared to be great fighting at 135. He had no power to match the strong and young Teo, nor will he have enough firepower to match kambosas. Him and Haney would be interesting, I would favor Haney but Loma kicks the chit out of tank man. And Ryan Garcia, I'm pretty sure we're all wondering about his mental stability in lead up to fights to come

I think Loma has proven that he has more power than Haney. Haney can't knockout a featherweight, even when he hits him clean. He didn't even wobble Diaz. George is deceptively powerful. That's for sure. But Commey ... I mean, let's face it. Loma laid Commey out on his back. He could have finished him like Lopez but didn't. I don't think Lopez laid out Commey like that.

They are similar but Lomachenko just let him off the hook and didn't go in for the kill.

The ref would have stopped it if Loma laid it on when he was stumbling back like that.

Yeah. Absolutely. I respect that because it makes boxing more of a sport than a fight. That's class. That's someone in completely control.

It's not the power. His problem at 135 is durability. He doesnt like to tank punches and couldnt get into the danger zone with teofimo early on.
he cant allow to do too many mistakes at that weight compared to bigger fellas.

The problem with Lomachenko is the media and fans set this insane bar which is impossible for him to achieve. When he falls short the mocking starts.

Lol how was B Hop skeleton like just because he was disciplined? Ridiculous assertion.

Yes probably fighting at a weight class higher than his optimal. What some greats do.

I agree Loma is too small for LW but I dont see him losing aside from well timed shot that takes him out. the Lopez fight was odd as fck, I didnt buy the injury sht with the Lopez fight until I watched his last two fights. I think he probably stops Lopez at LW and beats the rest.

Loma is overrated. You can give him more size and more punching power, and he will still lose to the top LWs.
