Why didn't Loma move up in weight to fight Mikey?

[Science]

Was Garcia willing to take that fight at 135 or what was the reason that fight didn't happen?

Because he'd rather fight a guy 2 weight divisions smaller...he can't beat Garcia.

Yeah this size difference b/t Loma and Rigo is way bigger than I thought it would be.

[War Dinamita]

Rigo is way too small for Loma.

[McNulty]

Mikey Garcia
Height: 5'6
Reach: 68"

Vasyl Lomachenko
Height: 5'6
Reach: 65.5"

IMO the size difference is less than Rigo-Loma difference.

I don't think it's too much to ask for Loma to fight Mikey at 135.

Or even at 140. If Rigondeaux can move up two classes, its not unreasonable for Lomachenko to do the same.

This is a joke right? Mikey is saying he is getting too big for 135 while Loma is still at 130, Mikey has a height and reach advantage - how are they the same size when Loma walks around at 138?

I agree that Loma shouldn't be p4p#1 if he beats Rigo because of the 2 weight classes, but Mikey is objectively bigger than Loma, in every aspect.

They're the exact same size height and Mikey has a little more more reach. 2.5" which is 1.25" per arm. Zero advantage here.

How do you know what Lomachenko walks around at?

Loma has already moved up 1 weight class, from 126 to 130, so 2 weight classes would be 135.

Loma said his walk around weight was 138, he said it in an interview with Boxingscene last year in Novemeber.

Why didn't Mikey move to 140 to fight Crawford instead of Broner? Why didn't Mikey remain at 135 and take a fight with Linares?

They aren't the exact same size dumbass... they have stood right next to eachother and Mikey was visibly taller.

Loma DID move up, from 126 to 130

yeah to fight who? its a difference in moving up to fight someone who is the best in a division, than just moving up for no apparent reason, would have loved to see loma vs santa cruz and others tho he would have won. he left 126 fast as hell.
