The Honest Truth About 135

[Mammoth]

not going for anyone. respect is earned not given. loma has 4 top 5 wins and 6 top 10 wins at 135 with another close loss to a #1 ranked opponent. lopez has 2 top 5 wins. kambosos has a win over the #1 guy, haney has 2 top 10 wins and garcia has a top 5 win. tank has 1 top 10 win and it was somewhat debatable which is why i question him being in this group.

I mean, you like Loma so you bad mouth all the fighters in that division. It's kinda old now. I like Loma. Damn good fighter but it sucks seeing him have such dorky losers for fans.

no, i bad mouth anyone who pretends to be a relevant fighter(major network fights) and yet doesnt want to fight the top guys. thats obviously not loma. i dont care if he wins or loses. that obviously is tank.

All are OVERRATED AF by their little Fanboys

Overrated doesn't mean that they're not good but yeah they have fans whos swear that these guys are unbeatable or something, Loma has 2 Loses and he still have these fans who talk like and Think he is unbeatable lol

every last one of them. None of them groupies can accept that their hero isn't as good as they're making him out to be

Don’t forget Ryan Garcia he’s arguably the hardest Hitter of them all coupled with his speed and height he’ll be a nightmare for all of them.

I agree with this. People can say whatever about Garcia, but he has height, speed and pop. He might be a snowflake or drama or whatever, but if he is still able to bring it like before, he's def able to take these guys out of contention.

I like Loma too, man. It's ok but whatever this is is lame.

Garcia could give them all problems, I wouldn't bet on it but he could

what has tank done to be put into the conversation with all those other guys? its a little strange how people talk about him like hes a top fighter when hes never fought any top fighters, never fought any mid-level fighters, and has looked quite bad especially at 135.

He hasn't done **** at 135 but I still think the win over Barrios at 140 is probably just as impressive as a win over Campbell or Commey. Paper champs who are solid fighters but not top fighters by any means.

P4P Campbell and Commey are definitely levels above Barrios and have faced better opposition but Barros is bigger and to me that's worth something.

I think the aussie will end up being king, very unlucky to have 3 sd in his last 3 fights, all 3 were wide ud.

fanboy noun : an ardent admirer of a fighter you despise

Perfect definition. It describes me. But people still see I like Loma because I still want him to fight Davis. I don't degrade him or call him names. I don't get personal with the boxer. I want to keep him relevant. People forgot about him quick, even his biggest fans stayed in agony for too long, after the Lopez fight.

I'm kinda reviving him by connecting him to Davis, one of the biggest names in boxing and in Loma's own division, on the best boxing website in the world. Refer to Davis-Loma threads, which have the most views and discussions on NSB. I talk boxing.

That definition fits me.

Like you said Barrios is nowhere near as skilled as those two guys so size without skills is just that...size. All elite fighters are capable of going up a division and beating a journeyman level fighter with just "size" as an attribute. Jr was bigger than almost every fighter he faced as well,or maybe ALL of them,don't remember if he was bigger than Fonfara....but he got his ass beat by every capable fighter he faced even though he was the far bigger fighter,diuretics n all. Barrios is about "Jr" level imo so I don't hold much stock in that W. Campbell,Commey and even Jojo are far more impressive wins....let alone GRJ,Rigo and Walters
