Can Lomachenko fight at 140 or 147 in a few years?

[_Maxi]

His height is similar to most elite boxers now at 140 and 147. Do you see him moving up in weight and fighting in those weights?

[MOMENTO MORI]

He is on the smaller side in the aforementioned weight classes. It also doesn't help that he doesn't have the power that gets guys to stop punching and starting back pedeling. I don't think he would survive.

[bojangles1987]

I don't think so. He's not weighing what you'd expect someone who will eventually be a welterweight to weigh. Not like Walters, for example.

If he can't handle salido's pressure what makes you think he can handle bigger pressure fighters @ higher weight class.

[Hougigo]

Can he fight somebody not unknown and more than twice a year?

[2shameless]

He's got a shorter reach than most FWs and you want him to move up to WW?

He wouldnt be weighing in at 126 to fight them , I dont know what his fight night weight is probably close to 140 , so if he allowed his body to thicken and added the weight correctly he could very well fight there .

[Francis M.]

He's 27 and fighting at 126. I can see him moving up to 135 max.

He couldn't handle Salido yet he is supposed to handle fighters like Matthysse, Garcia, Khan, Bradley, Thurman etc etc who are all much bigger and stronger than Salido?

No.

[New England]

i've always thought he'd make a terrific cruiserweight. maybe he can take klitschko's title in 3 years and retire.
