The belt is up in the air, Loma and Walters can still fight for it, the manager is setting himself up to have egg on his face.
But still this statement is a big letdown. In this era belt hunting is not synonymous with fighting the best. It's entirely possible to go belt hunting and avoid any real competition or threats. I don't think Loma is meeting the hype and high expectations everyone has of him. If he's a wunderkind, the next Jesus of boxing like HBO and Top Rank shill, he should be able to handle a guy that hydrates a few divisions.
