Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: "Crawford Older Than Loma, Is He Old? No, Don't Say That Loma Old"

[jackblack008]

One sided beating from Rd 1 to Rd 12 awaits Loma. Haney would win atleast 10 rounds.

35 for an athlete is old. Except for sports like golf, bowling, etc

In any other sport, 35 is retirement age. Especially the more physical it is.

This little punk is always crying about something man. How about after this fight with Loma you fight Shakur or Tank? Nobody will say they’re old.

Did Crawford struggle with a C Level fighter like Jamaine Ortiz? Did Crawford LOOK old against Avanesyan?

People are saying Loma LOOKED old. The same way Roy Jones LOOKED old at 35. Bernard Hopkins on the other hand didn’t look old until he was in his 40’s. It’s a case by case basis when it comes to fighters ageing/declining. It’s based on style, mileage and multiple other factors.

other factors - including PEDs usage. Breadman always said that Golovkin was getting on at 35 yrs because he was a clean fighter (as best as anyone knows) and also because of his aggressive style he was bound to ship punches.

In Loma's case he is fighting in a division where literally every guy is bigger than him

Yes, Crawford is older than Loma, and Crawford is past his prime

Well, 35 is kind of old for a natural featherweight. There's also the matter of a 20 year, 415 fight career. This is a past prime Lomachenko facing a prime natural JWW or WW, but Lomachenko is going to win anyway.

This is the best way to look at it you nailed it. The difference is if I buy a 2020 model car with 75000 miles on it or the same make and model with 250000 miles on it. The fresher one is probably more reliable providing both have been well kept. Lomo and Bud both live the life but one has 100 plus fights ( pro and amateur) the other has 4 times as many ( pro and amateur) it's simple math.

Completely agree…

All Haney has done is try to fight Loma as eay as possible. Loma did everything to move away from that fight.

This is going to be one of those cases where fans that dont like haney lower this win because Loma was old, but hold nothing against Loma for dropping the belt and avoiding him when he did.

Whose the real punk here?

Haney is the one out here begging adulation. The kid’s pathetic.

A talented fighter but completely delusional.

Yeah there are loads of factors. One bad loss can change your career forever. Look how quickly Tapia became shot after Kirkland destroyed him for example.

Loma has a style predicated on athleticism, those style’s don’t tend to age well, especially when you’re fighting above your natural weight.

This one can't string a sentence together, that's not great.

For someone so highly gifted, dude reeks of pure insecurity. Everything he says has to have some type of comparison to somebody else's situation. Blame social media for this lame a%# mentality alot of these younger generation people have. Haters are always gonna hate no matter what. Just keep winning. Even tho Lomachenko is much, smaller, older and does seem to be slipping a bit, he is still a serious threat.
