Comments Thread For: Jayson Velez: Nicholas Walters is The Best Featherweight

[Adamjr91]

Loma will be entering the danger zone whenever he punches at Walters. Walters has a good 6-7" on Lomachenko.

I've never seen Lomachenko chin tested especially against a man that straight floored Donaire.

Solido doesn't lack punching power.

My money would go on Lomachenko via UD.

Salido is quite strong true, I think Walters power might just a bit stronger. I give Walter a good shot for sure, its just Lomachenko might be of the best boxers ever. The way he can circle around opponents is magnificent, but if he gets clipped early on and shaken up, can he keep the game plan together for the rest of the fight while he's conscious of the power?

All that said, I think I would still put money on Loma. But I would be rooting for Walters.

loma vs walters is one of the can't miss fights to make in 2015... hopefully it gets made, and doesn't marinade into oblivion like gamboa vs juanma a few years ago

I see no reason why the Featherweights can't unify next year. I don't think promotions will conflict. Arum threw Donaire in there with Vetyetka and Walters. I'm sure he will want to build up Lomachenko a bit given how talented he is.

But I'm sure Loma can beat Gradovich and take that title. In the meanwhile Walters has said he thinks Gonzalez is the guy he should aim for.

Then they can fight for the Undisputed title late in the year, or have two defenses for the WBC/WBA and the IBF/WBO and then fight for the Undisputed early 2016? I don't know, but I really hope we see the Undisputed Featherweight in 2015.

yeah, 2015 should be the year of the featherweights.. hasn't been this much talent in the division since the days of prince, barrera, morales, manny, marquez..

Would love to see jhonny gonzalez vs walters and loma vs gradovich, with the winners meeting, and whoever wins that, should bring enough cash to the table to lure rigo up for a mega fight at feather, especially if its loma

Lomachenko is the top guy at 126

Tell me how exactly? Resume wise Walters appears to be the better man. And he hasn't struggled with the top guys in the division. Loma did well against salido but you can't call him top p4p when he hasn't achieved that much in the pro game

[mathed]

When Walters lands, that plan goes out the window. Loma might have more finesse but Walters is by far the most powerful dude at featherweight.

[nivek535]

Loma vs mares
loma vs donaire
loma vs gradovich
loma vs jhonny gonzalez
loma vs waltrs
loma levels up
loma vs salido
And so on

[jas]

Salido landed on lomas body and hips not chin

Walters punches harder than salido
