    No one beats Loma and no one beats Mikey.
    So, if they fight each other, what happens?

    My 2 favorite fighters right now.

    On the other hand, if Loma beats Mikey, people here will ask him to beat The Hulk.

      Loma is number 1 on my pound for pound list. I am a fan of both Loma and Mikey but i think Mikey is just too big and strong for Loma.

        If he can get the fights, I would like to see him unify 130 and 135. Become undisputed champion of two weight classes. Ultimately Garcia at 135. Meanwhile, I would like to see him in there with Berchelt, Linares, and Gervonta. I doubt Davis will ever have the balls to face him, but if Loma can get Machado and Berchelt's belts, he is undisputed at 130 and there are no excuses for anyone not to fight him. Same with 135 if he can get Linares, Easter and Garcia. With Crawford moving to 147 I don't see anyone at 140 who beats him either.

          Loma started pro career at 126, already moved up to 130, and could do a second move to 135...
          126 > 130 > 135
          122 > 126 > 130

            Why are you posting weights and why are you posting weights from 122?

            If he wants Garcia he needs to go to 140. Champs don't come down in weight, not ones that have a brain or other options. If it was good enough for Rigondeaux, it's good enough for Lomachenko.

            There are no big fights for him at 135 anyway. Dead division.

                  Probably Mikey.

                  But he has already beat 2 guys in the top 10-15 P4P list so I'm a little shocked if people doubt him that much.

                    He is on the right track. He is legit wanting to be great. He wants money as a prize fighter but at the same time he wanted real challenge on his climb to the top. He wants Mikey Garcia as his next fight at 135, never minding Linares or any tune up. He has as of yet a short career but amassed quality opponents, and then made half of them say No Mas, it is understandable some people exaggerates his greatness because of this short burst. If he can make Mikey Garcia say No-Mas, then, that's his ticket for a shortcut to a legendary status for casual fans and maybe many hardcore fans as well. That's 5 in a row of no mas. it's something incredible.

                      Linares is probably the other top guy left who's willing to fight him. That would be a good win.

                      In reality the same people who picked Rigo (and Walters) would still give no props if he went Garcia-Crawford-Spence-GGG-Canelo-Joshua-Wilder and beat them all. They'd say he ducked Charlo or Davis or something.
