Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'll Be No. 1 P4P Once I Beat Two Lightweight Champs

[P.K Dionysus]

HE WAS STUFFING HIS FACE WITH NACHOS AND CHEESE AT THE JACK VS DEGALE FIGHT LOL WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EATING FISH AND CHICKEN SALADS.... THE VIDEOS WERE ALL OVER ESNEWS.... HE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT HAVE THE DISCIPLINE TO STAY AT 140..... HE IS A TINY LITTLE GUY WITH TINY LEGS AND A BIG UPPER BODY.... IF HE KEEPS EATING LIKE THAT EVEN 147 WILL BE HARD FOR HIM.... I HOPE HE FIGHTS BERTO OR KHAN OR EVEN ALGIERI NEXT.....

I would love the Algieri fight. Chris is like the polar opposite of Adrian.

**** he set his goals harder than most of you all set them for him

most of yall labled him number 3 p4p when he beat russell...

..which is fuggin crazy, but it happened.

It's amazing that people will discredit his accomplishments. He is striving to be great. Boxing would be in a much better state if more fighters had his mentality.

i question it..i only respect the russell win...i think sosa is his best opponent to date...there's a difference in discrediting and actually calling a spade a spade.

[Lopez_Boxing]

Understandable. but I think if you take in account the number of fights he has had and who he is choosing to fight it's pretty unheard of. If nothing else you have to admire his gumption. His fighting like he is running out of time.

YEAH HE REALLY IS AND CHRIS NEEDS A WIN ASAP....

I mean, if he could pick up a W over Mikey Garcia then he's in the P4P list, no question.

That doesn't necessarily mean #1, but him and Garcia each would get a huge boost by beating the other guy. For Garcia it would be the exact same situation by beating Loma.

Right now it's the best fight to be made in boxing IMHO. I hope they don't mess around and they surprise us with this one sooner than we expect it, while the getting is still as good as it is.

I do not agree that for Garcia beating Loma would mean the same in p4p context as for Loma beating Garcia. Mikey is a bigger man. For him the equivalent would be beating Crawford.

Refreshing to see someone who absolutely believes he's the best and is willing to prove it against anyone.

"i wont fight walters without a title, but a year lay off sounds like unified champion to me" - lomachenko...

i didnt make this up..get his balls out your mouth and realize...he and TR robbed us of seeing the best match that had...they robbed us of 2 possible career opponets like pac and marquez...therefore he will never be on their level to me...

As for comments about Loma-Rigo, ship sailed on that one.

Quite apart from the rather vocal and explicit opposition from Arum, there are two main problems:

1) Weight
- As Loma is settling into 130 and eyeing 135, wasn't too long ago that Rigo was saying 126 was too big for him
- since then Rigo has been saying he can now go to 126, but only when Loma isn't there any more

2) Rigo's age
- Rigo is 36. His recent performances show a notable decline from his earlier performances when younger, mainly in the foot speed. I still think he can beat everyone at 122, even with diminished skills, and maybe even clean out 126, but whereas I would be sure of it a few years back, just not so sure any more

Prime Rigo vs Loma, probably at around 124, is a historic fantasy match, and no idea who would have won.

Rigo isn't prime now, whereas Loma is prime, and bigger. A bigger, stronger Loma would take down a diminished Rigo with ease these days, and would prove nothing.

it's only loma fanboys who want that fight bc rigo is smaller, inactive, and older...

if rigo was at 135, bigger, and hell he can still be old...AND THEY WOULD BE PUSHING THAT FIGHT AT ALL..this dude has the most transparent fan base of any fighter...their small as a fanbase, but they suck nuts hard..soooo they show up

Would be hard to argue against him, he's already 1st equal on my list with Rigondeaux.
