Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Manager: Forget Crawford Fight; It 'Would Be Suicide'

[Butch.McRae]

First time I saw Easter was on a Broner undercard. He happen to know the people I was sitting next to ans came and talked to them after he fought. And he's no more than 2" taller than me, and 5'9 is pretty generous for me.

So are you agreeing that he's taller than Bud? Just trying to get clarity on the post.

i'm a fan of both..but loma has to show and prove at 135 before i want to see him at 140 fighting crawford

this bout with have vada testing..which loma has never done so he'd be facing several up hill battles..

give me corrales vs loma to see who the real number 1 in the division is..

I hear you. It was funny hearing Kellerman being very dismissive of the guys at 130 and 135, he was talking about how no one south of 140 can hang with Loma. I like Loma but I was like "hold up", while I don't know who would win, Mikey has done too much, shown too much skills and power to simply dismiss him like that. Hell, I'd like to see Loma deal with Easter's length and reach and Linares' speed or even a fully committed Gamboa at 130!

I think Loma will end his career at 140/147


Crawford is going to end his career at 147 no doubt. They could meet, but not for a while. Loma has plenty at 135

Floyd scared of GGG doe. Boxingscene and it's double standards

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Crawford could conceivable end his career fight a 147 guy that moved up to 154. Much how Floyd did. Floyd did fight Canelo at 152, but De La Hoya and Cotto at 154. Neither was a natural 154er.

Loma could conceivable end up fighting a small WW like Manny.

This is how boxing is. Canelo is a 2 division champ without ever fighting a MW at 160 (although imagine ggg dragging Degale to 161 and winning the SMW title and calling himself two division champ).

These lower classes are much easier to rise through especially guys like Crawford who step into the ring 20 pounds above the class limit.

Canelo fighting at 160 shouldn't be a big deal, he already weighs more than the top MW. But imagine Canelo jumping to 168 to fight Degale or Jack. The size disparity is comparable to when he fought Cotto, Kirkland, and pfft, Khan. I still can't believe that was a thing.

Crawford almost has a foot on him and walks around close to 160 I don't see how that fight is even possible.

But Floyd can fight GGG tho? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Yall seriously man.

[badass316]

By the time Loma is ready to move to 140, Crawford will most likely be at 147. Although I would still favor Loma even with the size disparity . Crawford is good, but Loma is special.

First things first, I'd like to see Loma @ 135 against Garcia. That would be a great fight and worthy of a flight to Vegas to see live.

this is what happens tho when hbo acts like every p4p type fighter they have is the best they ever seen people want unrealistic fights

[HarvardBlue]

I'm a huge fan of Lomachenko but the way HBO was fawning over him last night was ridiculous. He beat a guy that was a 25-1 underdog. What did they think was going to happen? They were acting like he just beat somebody name Manny Mayweather.

I'm not even sure why Crawford's name is coming up. Give it a few more years and see where both of them are at in their careers and then start talking a possible match.

Exact, granted some of the HBO fighters like Loma are special but the HBO propaganda is something else, it's not like that on Showtime (or as bad) imo.

Usually the third guy acts (like Roy Jones) as the "voice of reason'ish" but even Hopkins was on the act yesterday. They made the Usyk vs Hunter painful to watch. Stop fawning over Usyk while he's in there vs a live dog (especially in the first 8 rds)!
