    Why is the lightweight division so polarizing?

    I kinda like most of these guys. Seems weird seeing so many of you getting so emotional all the time...

    The guy a lot of posters like and felt was the best in the division, Loma, lost to a 7-1 underdog after dropping one of his belts to avoid a high risk, low reward challenger.

    Teo made a huge splash. Talked a ton of sh-t, then lost. Then Garcia didn’t fight because of “mental health issues”. Tank is promoted by Floyd so he draws hate even before Floyd said he’d only be fighting in house guys.

    Haney gets avoided by everyone in the division yet somehow gets blamed by the majority of posters for that happening.

    The guys at the top are all from different races/ nationalities so the discussions become more passionate. Each of the fighters has a solid and somewhat different fan base ( except Haney) so that means there will always be debates.

      All of this plus Ryan Garcia who talks even more **** than any of them and doesn't even fight.

        Honestly it's very hard to like Garcia or Lopez, but Haney, Tank, Loma all seem like good guys. Maybe Teo would be better If not for senior.

          It's easy to forget Teo is basically a kid. Most likely mentally ill but at his best he's clearly talented.

            Sure but even kids don't get a free pass, he's not just immature, he's extremely immature and acts like an entitled narcissistic jerk. Maybe he'll change, who knows.

              A lot of them are clowns tbh. Haney is a clown, Garcia is a clown, Teofimo is a clown. All these kids do more fighting on Twitter than they do in the ring. It’s laughable man, all three are straight up delusional too. F*** all three of those guys tbh, at one point I was genuinely excited about these young dudes but I’m over it now. They’d rather argue about who has more followers on Instagram than fight.

              Kambosos and Loma are the only two guys in the division who are more about business than barking.

              Tank is kind of in that middle ground, he needs to fight better people this year but I think it’s the people around him who are the problem insisting on in-house fights and all that sh**.

                Lomachenko...a white Euro
                Tank....a black American
                Ryan..a latino
                Haney...a black American

                That is the answer.

                  Kambosos is definitely about business. I liked him but seeing him auction his ass off made me see him a little differently.

                    This and they’re also all way above average fighters .
