If Crawford destroyed Lomachenko at 140 how much credit would he get?

[BrometheusBob.]

Definitely agree with all you say, but what I meant was that Loma started his career at 126, not 130, he already made a first division jump. So a second jump would be 130 to 135.
So Loma’s 2 division jump is
126 > 130 > 135 = + 11lbs

Rigo was at 122 for all of his career
So 122 > 126 > 130 = +8lbs

So the equivalent to Rigo’s 122-130 would be Loma’s 126-135...

Fair enough.

I'll say this - the interest and talk about this fight would be escalating if Crawford were expected to stay at 140. But Crawford going to 147 and Loma in his second class at 130.. seems like too much distance to cover to ever see the fight.

Then again, I thought the same thing about Pac-Floyd at one point so you never know.

Loma started his Pro career, at 126, already moved up once to 130, so a second move in weight would be 135.
So comparing Loma - Crawford to Rigo - Loma, in which case Rigo moved up 2 divisions, would be a second weight division jump for Loma, and that would be 135.
So the better argument would be Loma - Garcia at 135...

one of the guys have a point. loma in realty is accustomed to fighting at 130. has done it plenty of times. he only squeezed down to 126 for his pro. so moving up to 130 isn't that big of a feet that u think. 135 140 yes. but not 130.......he's more then comfortable because he's done it tons.


someone like rigo had never fought a day in his entire life at 130. thats the point the guy tried to make with u.

Rigondeaux weighed super featherweaight the day of the fight (with his clothes on). Loma weighed JWW the day of the fight. So yes it would be equivalent if Loma fought Crawford.
