Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Feels Lomachenko Might Be 'Too Small' For Lightweight

[P to the J]

I think it's prefire for the potential of Loma losing to Haney. When Haney got in the ring after Loma's win he looked huge in comparison and even Loma said it. The boxing world at large saw that footage. This is a well-played pre-emptive move from Ryan to be able to say he called it and detract from Haney.

Yeah, good shout actually

Gaycia ducking Loma like a ****** girl lol

Whose excuse? It's not like Loma said. And, actually, even if he did, he'd be right - he is one of the smallest in this division. Still, one of the most talented.

El Matrix is my favourite boxer on Earth bar none, so I have no truck with him.

And Garcia’s right: I’ve said numerous times recently, even before Ortiz, that whoever Loma faces at LW is always danger on account of size difference.


I just question the motive. I just think it’s a way of Garcia positioning himself within the LW hierarchy; in other words, dismissing Loma as too small, and thus, someone he needn’t fight.

Yeah, just had some shoulder surgery the next day to save face

Then why didn't he delay the fight or include a rematch clause if he knew he was injured?
He got injured during the fight and tried to save face by saying he was injured before the fight.

Lomachenko has been at LW since 2018.....he is a ****ing LW.

He is never fighting him anyhow. Garcia may fight Tank at 135 but then he's off to 140 for sure

Floyd was at 147 for like 10 years and they said he was small every fight basically.

He was small, but he was still a WW by 2010. Small, yes, but I doubt he could have gone back to Lightweight or Jr Welter at that time.

Same goes for Lomachenko, he's a unified champion, and has been at the weight for nearly 5 years. Those saying he's too small have an agenda.

Don’t know about anyone else, but I watched Loma-Linares in 2017 and thought, “he’s too small”. Thought the same vs. Campbell, Lopez, etc.

Bit diff to Floyd; Loma turned pro at 26, so was already fully grown: mayweather was 19, and thus, room to develop physically.

Floyd gets criticized for “not taking challenges” and Loma gets criticized for daring to be great fighting larger fighters.

No boxer can win at this point.
