Comments Thread For: Flanagan's Manager Eager To Start Talks For Lomachenko Fight

[ShoulderRoll]

I would prefer to see Lomachenko against someone that can test him.

Flanagan doesn't fit the bill. Easy work.

Good fight. He should delete all these paper champs and show what a true elite fighter looks like. No dump at flanagan but gifted fighters like loma come rarely

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Stop it.

He left 126 because they wouldn't fight him. He's having the same problem at 130, Mayweather is on record saying Davis won't fight him, Corrales said no already. The only fight that's money related is Salido who is asking for unrealistic money for a guy who isn't a draw and hasn't won a fight in years.

'Cleaning out a division' is a waste of time if better opponents are a division above. Salido/Flanagan next, the unifications at 135 to follow.

Look up viewer numbers for Salido fights.

EDIT:
I'll do the homework for you.

Similar numbers to Lomachenko but higher.

Have no problem with true talents like Loma occasionally taking time out of their schedules to beat up paper beltholders like Flanagan so I don't have to see them described as "world champions" in stories. Same went for Canelo vs Beefy Smith and Andrade vs Culcay. The fewer fake "champions" who are steered into belts by soft matchmaking rather than their own talent, the better.

Loma has to move up, so many champions in the past and present and the future had to do the same when the competition wanted none or if there wasn't any..*cough cough* Golden Goose Gennady

No Arum is just cheap and don't want to pay nobody or only wants to put him in with Top Rank fighters. Saldio and others will fight him but Arum either doesn't want to work with other promoters or doesn't want to pay them. And I have no problem moving up to bigger and better fights but that's not Flanagan he's a cherry picked bum. Why does he need to fight Flanagan BEFORE he fights one of the better guys at 135? Stop pretending that it's a requirement he can try and make Garcia or Linares fights now and bypass this joke Flanagan. Or pay Salido for a rematch which more fans want to see.

Stop Yacking.

A little history lesson for you. Marvin Hagler who fought at middleweight his entire career had his most profitable fights at the END of his career with:

Ray Leonard= Former WELTERWEIGHT champion
Tommy Hearns= Former WELTERWEIGHT champion
Roberto Duran= Former LIGHTWEIGHT champion
John Mugabi=Former SUPERWELTERWEIGHT champion

Who the fu€k is this guy??

Understand the context what I'm saying, Hagler fought the best of the best which is why he stayed, Lomachengo offered the best of The best chances to bring it on and they refused even when it would be on a bigger platform and more money!!

Floyd had to do this at 130 and 135

Mosley when he was at 135 as well

Golovkin should have done this but after the Jacobs fight we now know his power is a myth and he wouldn't have the success he's had smashing bums and guys on house arrest vs fighting bigger men who are champions!

That's YOUR history lesson for today, class is dismissed!
