Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Would Face Mikey Garcia Right Now, Eyes Crawford

[Derranged]

Yeah nice excuse. I see the Crawford fans already trying to build excuses for TC's cowardice in moving up to run away from the best fighter in the sport.

Are you serious? For one thing I'm a fan of both fighters. Second, what evidence is there of Crawford being a "coward"? Third, Loma moving up in weight that fast to fight the best in the division might be biting off more than he could chew. He needs to ease way into each division. I admire Loma for wanting to challenge himself but I don't think this fight is in the cards at this time.

It is totally in the cards right now. Loma is the greatest fighter in the world. You act as if he's a regular fighter. A normal conventional fighter that isn't at the pinnacle of the sport might slowly move up the scales like a Terence Crawford. True greats like Loma and Pacwarrior scoff at traditional low level career paths! Did pac need to ease his way into WW when he made Dela Quit? Absolutely not. You have not grasped the true legendary greatness of Lomachencko. If you think he should "ease" his way into 140 YOUR EYES DECIEVE YOU!! YOUR WITNESSING GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loma batters Crawford into submission and drops him multiple times. This is obvious to the educated eye.

Loma is a beast and doing what he has to do.BUT Crawford would twist his ass up. If they do meet up and Crawford puts him out then o Crawford was too big Loma moved up too quick and the other bull**** excuses. Let him fight Mikey before anything and he might lose that one as well.

Tons of respect if he follows through on this. Even if Crawford crushes him, I would never hold it against Loma because at least he would have had the balls to seek greatness.

Yeah Crawford to me looks like Loma is taking it too far. Both are superbly talented, but one guy has a natural 15-20 weight advantage. Their fight night weights are not 10lbs apart like their weight classes. If you go by fight night weights, the most recent I could find for Crawford was 157 vs Postol. Loma weighed 139 last night.

Loma should consider Garcia his biggest goal. Crawford is simply too big

Looks like Loma's manager has already put the nix on that idea anyway. I think Loma is very excitable and likes to say he'll fight anyone and everyone. I just hope he is mature enough to realize that talking like that can bite you in the ass because you either have to go do it, or you have to live with the criticism for faking a call-out. ("154 to 168" anyone?)

Loma comes across as not giving a ****. Personally I think he would fight Crawford. His management is there to pump the brakes for him.

I watched the whole fight Loma vs. Sosa. Honestly, I just didn't see the "greatness" all those commentators seem to see in Lomachenko. They even compared him to SRL at his best. No way, IMHO!

Lomachenko couldn't even knock down a C or minus B class fighter. Even though he landed hundreds of punches. That means he DOES NOT have the power many people argue he has. And his defense isn't that good either. He ate a bunch of hard punches from such a mediocre opponent.

If the fight with Mikey Garcia happened this year, which would be AWESOME, at 135, my favorite would be Garcia because 1) He is a GREAT boxer as well. As far as ring intelligence, he is probably even more intelligent than Lomachenko himself. 2) While he is not so impressive physically, as in speed in both hands and feet, GARCIA DOES HAVE POWER. And I think he is more accurate too. So, power and accuracy with lots of intelligence, boxing skills and decent speed, IMO, are a bigger asset than uncanny speed and movement (tremendous physicality) as Lomachenko has.

Whoever wins, this fight WOULD BE A TREAT to real boxing fans. I really hope it happens this year!
