    Look at my boy Loma - going right after the baddest MF in his new division IMMEDIATELY.

    Well, technically Garcia is the best lightweight in the world, but IDK what he's doing next as far as staying at 135, or 140.

    But resume-wise, without a doubt Linares is the best LW right now.

      The Featherweight division, that Loma competed in, got removed. That is the main reason Loma moved up to 132 in the first place.

      People don't know this but Loma was going to compete at Flyweight or Bantamweight at the 07 World Championships and 08 Olympics, but his father made him move up to Featherweight to challenge himself.
      In late 2006 Loma was competing at Flyweight.

        dude all you have to to is use your eyes and you can see that lomachenko is smaller than garcia, and a hell of a lot smaller than crawford. there's actually video of mikey garcia making weight and literally getting carried around a hotel, puking into a lunch box.



        who was the more natural FW? he didn't even make weight for this fight, BTW. 2 lbs over


        go ask any of your favorite pros to go back to fighting amateur, several times a month, and weigh in on the same day. virtually none of them would be in the same weight class. it's actually a sign that lomachenko is a natural 130 lber that he last competed in the amateurs at 132.

Now it appears they've been negotiating a Linares deal and Linares is a unified, lineal, ring champion at 135. I think they are going to need a few days to come up with the angle on this one especially as it comes in the wake of their new guy Mikey passing on a Linares fight.
          they'll find some sort of angle, they always do.

            All am saying is that he is more of a lightweight than a featherweight, and if i go by what you are posting here "pros to go back to fighting amateur, several times a month, and weigh in on the same day. virtually none of them would be in the same weight class." Then lomachenko should be fighting at 140. Common dude, so far he has fought smaller fighters than him, with the exception of salido. I don't see nothing wrong with what he is doing, because he is within the rules. The kid is amazing. lets see what happens when facing fighters on his own weight and just as good as him.
