    If Shelby can make Gradovich back up Axe Man will definitely chop the MexRus down.

      Still cant understand why we gave Lomachenko a pass for not trying to fight Walters.

      I know Walters is at fault for not making weight, but where Lomachenko makes it 2 wrongs is that right after he was trying to get a fight where he would have a big size advantage himself over his opponent.

      You guys telling me you wouldnt wanna see Walters vs Loma at a 128 catchweight??? I know I would rather see it at a catchweight then not see it at all.

        What is with the mass amnesia among people like yourself? Lomachenko tried to fight Walters when he held a title only for Walters to pull some Andre Ward 'he isn't a big enough name and needs to earn a fight with me" self entitled excuses.

        Walters turned down the fight when they both had titles and would have been a meaningful unification and now likely isn't even in the same weightclass. If you're disappointed the fight hasn't taken place blame Walters.

          Evgeny will not win if this is true.

            This would be a highly entertaining fight considering their styles.

              Well if you consider a wolf slaughtering a lamb as entertaining, then yeah.

                  Good scrap!

                  My only knock, why not sooner? Why not when both had their titles? The timing was perfect. IDK im a little greedy as fan i just think it wouldve been better if they had fought each other than anybody else. Still a good fight nonetheless but i really doubt it gets made...thats just my expectations of the sport, i dont expect the best possibilities.

                    Right! Thats what im screaming. Didnt it make more sense? The timing couldnt have been more perfect..myself im more of a strike-when-the-irons-hot kinda guy, making it when they both had momentum and titles...wtf is wrong with boxing sometimes. Theres more upside to losing to anothrr titlist then anybody else. TR and there blunders never cease to amaze mr

                      Really, just make the dam fight! Theres more upside losing to each other and id fully expect the loser to bounce right bk and stil have options...Gardovich for example, lost his title to Selby and has this option right in front of him
