He earned big respect for taking the short end and flying down to Oz to take those belts from Kambosos. And a rematch too. Just by facing Loma, he has a deeper resume than Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis. His style is not appealing. But what makes it worse is his delusion. He's an elite fighter but not a great one yet. That sentiment should be reserved for boxing fans to develop over time.

He hasn't had a prime elite opponent. Loma is a natural 130 pounder, 35 years old and to many he lost to Loma. I'll give him credit for choosing Regis, but lets come back after Saturday and see where he is really at.

People throw this "prime elite" argument around all the time, they're subjective terms people use to make it sound like they're making a solid argument.

RJJ-94-02=GOAT FYI above - there it is again.

People donât like him because (1) he lies all the time. (2) he was on the winning end of one of the worst Robberies of the Decade (not exactly his fault) About 90 percent believe Loma is or was the real undisputed champ (3) his fighting style is typically not the most fan friendly due to a lack of power and being overly defensive (4) the way he talks and what he says is phony (5) he drops the N word every 5 seconds and (6) heâs an idiot.

Sounds like you're too emotionally involved. 90% of the online boxing community are angry edgelords. Are you an angry edgelord?

At least Haney had balls to fight Loma. While Gervonta ducked him for years!

Answer me this first: Are you a snowflake?

Are you an alt-right edgelord who likes talking about "muh red pill" and calling people "cuck" like it's still 2016?

If you think I’m a Trumplodyte, then you’re an idiot. I think you have to ask yourself how when someone is being honest and truthful that it makes you melt.

It’s not as if you are going to date him, why the concept over his attitude and not his wins/career?

Because he fights like a douche. Him and Sakur Stevenson are cut from the same cloth.

Calling out everyone at 135, becoming the youngest undisputed champion in the 4 belt era. Fighting arguably the best or 2nd best 140 pounder in his first fight at the weight? Bad attitude where? You like guys that duck and create excuses?

Oh ok, I love him now, my bad, I didn’t realize he called everyone out. I thought all he did was beat chump Kambozo twice and lose to Lomachenko
