I would like to see this match up, but I think Arum is going to let this fight marinate for a little bit. Which l don't have a problem with as long as they fight good opponents in the meantime. Like I would like to see Loma vs Salido & maybe Walter's vs Gonzalez at 126, are still some solid match ups. I think Salido might be a little on the heavy side now. who knows, he might be moving up to 130 or 135.
Lomochenko said he wants a rematch with Salido, but Salido just won the WBO 130lb title and said he can't cut weight past that. Not sure how much demand there is for a rematch anyways. Bob would likely kill that fight.
Walters would destroy Loma right this moment. As fast and well schooled as Loma is, he lacks the power and stamina to deal with Walters. I noticed the stamina issue just last night.

Yeah Loma wanted the rematch, to bad Salido already has gone up in weight. Loma will just have to take on the champions there at 126 and clean it up.
I don't think there's an issue with Loma's conditioning at all. Quite the opposite, given how hard he works he seems to be in exceptional shape. Even in the Salido fight he looked stronger in the 12th which was astonishing for a guy in his 2nd pro fight.
His physical strength and power could be an issue though. His footwork is dazzling and all, but I would like to see him just step into the pocket and drill an opponent occasionally. If he'd done that more often against Salido he would have beaten him.
