Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Open To Fighting Inoue At 126 Pounds, Shuts Door On Future At 140

[4truth]

Too many excuses for Loma. Floyd and Manny moved up multiple weight classes and show their greatness. Going up three weight classes shouldn't be a problem if he's claiming to be that skilled.

How many did Floyd move up after age 30?

Hint: Rhymes with hero.

Loma needs to move down in weight. He can’t close the gap anymore at 135.

I think Bob puts him in with Shakur after Haney though. Top Rank vacant WBO title special.

Size wise the 40s are too big, but he can fight Shakur or Tank. Tank has been waiting for him to get old so maybe possible next year

LOL. In other words let me fight smaller fighters again ala Rigondeaux, Gary Russell Jr & Inoue

Let’s be fair here, Loma has been the smaller guy in his bud fights more times than not

Him and Gary are literally the same size. Gary would be just as undersized at 135 as Loma. And size had nothing to do with the out come of that fight

Rigo was begging for that fight and everyone swore Loma was ducking. Loma completely embarrassed him and then it was “Loma was too big” even though again size had nothing to do with the outcome

Inoue was just a question someone brought up as a fantasy fight. Loma has never made any mention himself of ever dropping that low again.

You say that as if Loma is the same size as them lol. Lomas smaller than manny who’s smaller than Floyd. Oh and not to mention he’s already been champ in 3 weight classes. Is that not enough moving up ? He’s also about to be 35… did Floyd or manny move up at that age? No.

No idea if he could make 126 but he is very small at 135, so maybe it's no big deal.

Canelo is smaller in 168 and 175 than loma in 135.

Gary & him are the same size? Wtf. Why do Loma fans do this? Loma was bigger than Russell. Mark Maysago was much more noticeably bigger than Russell just recently at 126. They are not “literally” the same size bro. GRJ is 5’4 also. Even opening up possibility to a Inoue fight is a circus move on Loma’s part.. they’re 4/5 weight classes apart ♂️

Loma's too old to go back down and Inoue's too small to move up. 122 might be the Monster's limit, maybe 126.

Fantasy fight, it can't be done, It'll be Loma-Rigo all over again.

Doesn’t matter what Russell’s height is. At the time, him and Loma were every bit FW’s and rehydrated almost exactly the same on fight night. Not Loma’s fault Gary hasn’t moved out of the division. Gives a great illusion for him to be “smaller.”

Loma fought at Lightweight in the amateurs and is 2 inches taller than Pac. At Featherweight in the pro's Loma used to rehydrate 10-12lbs+ at 126. Loma was actually bigger than Floyd at 126, 130 & 135 in comparison. Loma could've bulked up and moved through the weights if he turned pro much earlier like Floyd & Pac did, only difference is he didn't have a neutralizer - Pac had scary power & handspeed and Floyd had an elite IQ, ring generalship and defence. Also at 35+ years of age Floyd beat Canelo & Maidana.

Here's a list of Floyd's weight at Featherweight & Lightweight - who was below average in size for 135, 140, 147 & 154. Loma has only been considered 'small' in one weight class & was 136-138lbs at 126.

Inoue just moved up to 122 though, at least let him try to go for indisputed at super bantamweight against Stephen Fulton, Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Luis Nery.

Then maybe he could move to featherweight though I doubt Loma could cut down to 126 at his age.

Robeisy Ramirez vs Naoya Inoue would more likely happen.

Robeisy & Shakur were only a few pounds apart in weight in recent camp. He'll be at 135/140 eventually
