Comments Thread For: Arum on Lomachenko's Options: Salido, Vargas, Walters

[Derranged]

I say make the Salido rematch. The Walters fight doesn't look like its happening for whatever reason.

[jqSide]

I'd rather have Vargas or Walters. I don't like rematches. Life is too short to have to see the same thing again. But if Salido happens again, what can we do? Loma wins in impressive fashion.

Neither does Walter's so he's in the same position as Loma except that Bob is paying Loma more because he chooses. Walter's hasn't been dealt the best hand but the offer that is in front of him is not unreasonable. If Walters's were being offered that amount to fight a bum he would more than jump at the opportunity. If I were in his position and was confident that i could win I would take the offer beat Loma and prove Arum wrong. My stock goes up, my p4p ranking goes up and it opens more opportunities to big money fights. Instead Walters is content not fighting, instead of fighting a challenge, getting money,and improving his stock. It's because his not 100% sure he will win, and that's were it becomes a duck.

You're wasting your time on providing simple details to fan boys that claim they're not fan boys, yet want to give Walters the moon. The guy should have just done exactly that, take his career high payday and prove the doubters wrong. Key words here are career high payday. Instead, he throws a fit and sidelines himself.

Next time, watch the fights instead of just boxrec-ing them. Or, don't comment on fightsyou haven't seen. You exposed yourself with that Sosa comment.

Why I saw what I needed to see with the Donaire fight, Walters was Huge featherweight vs a real small featherweight that still able to make super bantamweight. Walters in the other side lost a Title at the scale.

Something tells me Loma wants no part of the rangy, tall Pedraza.

[tiliheels]

Walters got fights with Darchinyan, Donaire, Marriaga and Sosa...he was getting on HBO and being set up for a unification with Lomachenko at 126.

It's not Lomachenko's fault Walters lost his title on the scales.

Stop blaming other people for what Walters did to himself.

a belt dont stop a show...lomo has no unifications on his resume..belt didnt stop him with opiripenyo...that is an excuse..theya re in teh same weight class we dont have to talk BS belts

[tiliheels]

Can you show me a guy that fought guys like Martinez, Russell Jr, Salido by his 7th fight? No? There's your history

keep praising russell jr like he is some all star that guy is going to have several loss on his resume before it is all said and done..HE'S KEVIN KELLY ALL OVER AGAIN..
martinez was shot to pieces..lomo was fast tracked and should have been the man had 300 am fights and i bet another 200 that ppl dont count bc he was so young

[tiliheels]

You do realize Lomachenko will get more credit for fighting the other champions at 130 than stopping after winning just the WBO, right?

Yet, you're wondering why Lomachenko doesn't prioritize Walters.

Here's a hint: Walters brings less to the table than the champions at 130.

If Walters wants to make himself historically significant, go beat someobody significant at 130...and if that somebody is Lomachenko, then he can wait his turn and do it on Lomachenko's timetable.

if u know wat the better fight is..as a boxing fan you should call for it
if youa re hear telling me that walters wouldnt beat every champ at 130..man please stop it..

especially martinez..

So you can't think of one fighter with tougher comp in 7 fights, like I said . That's history

In-house fights are always Arum's top priority. Vargas and Salido are GBP. He may well go for Walters next, but then the Mexican fanbase is far bigger. All three potential opponents are equally risky, so let's see how Arum balances the situation.
