Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Being Positioned For Three To Four Fights in 2017

[Mr. Objectivity]

He's surrounded by VERY solid competition. I'll add

Gamboa
Linares
Felix Verdejo (Down the road with more experience)
Leo Santa Cruz
Frampton

Mikey Garcia vs. Loma would be a FKN DREAM fight!!!

I wont put verdejo just there. too green imo

[The Problem Child]

The hottest thing in Boxing right now after Golovkin. Golovkin, Kovalev, Lomachenko - the kings of Boxing.

Let's get back to reality for a moment; of the names mentioned, who on your list is going to be willing to fight on a Top Rank card for the $300k that Arum seems to be paying for opponents?

Frampton made double that (before counting any of the UK money), and Leo Santa Cruz made over triple that on their first fight; the rematch likely puts even more money into their pockets. Linares is heading back to the UK for another showdown, and Mikey Garcia seems in line for a sizable push on Showtime.

In case you've forgotten, Lomachenko is still promoted by Bob Arum

All European,
Kovalev is not the Great, he struggle with the American Gold Medalist.
GGG needs to beat Jacobs or Canelo to be a top star.
Lomachenko is TOP DOG, just needs to revenge Salido.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Salido 2
Vargas
Gamboa


In that order.... Then 2018 crawford, manny or 135 champs

[boxingitis]

Vargas, then Salido next, get more Mexican fans. Then Mikey Garcia at 135 PPV.

Mikey Garcia would be a very dangerous opponent for Loma. I'd be surprised if Lomachenko took that fight. A guy with less than 10 pro fights in the ring with Mikey Garcia....that's crazy!

You know what's crazy?? Fans saying that he's being "pushed" to these world titles and against world class fighters really fast because he's a being hyped as the next "great white hope". And not because he's just that damn good. If he was beating up cans till he was 20-0 like most boxers they would then say that he's being babied and building up resume fighting bums. Boxing fans have some of the dumbest fans. They rather complain any chance they get rather than appreciate.

It's nuts this dude jumped right into world title fights in his second fight and hasn't stopped since, this is awesome I want to see more of him, and hopefully he naturally ends up at 135, 140 and maybe even 147. The sky is the limit really, he is 29 in February so has 3 to 4 years of prime left I think. But what the f*** would I know he might be unstoppable!

[LomaUsykKlichko]

Lets hope that actually happens, Solido in March then Vargas in the summer and probably move up to 135 at the end of the year a fight with Mikey would be insane.

Agreed. The guy is an impressive fighter. It's great to finally see a fighter not being coddled and groomed to super stardom. He isn't taking the easy road, that's for sure. It's a dangerous path that he's walking but I give him a ton of credit for that.
