You the one taking L's. The only W you got is loma....

espn don't have NO WHERE NEAR talent like this!

They sort of do. Crawford and Lomachenko are better than anything in the PBC stable according to all neutral boxing observers. So that suggests they have talents much higher than that.

I'm not one of those boxing fans that gets caught up in promotional rivalries like loves PBC and Showtime because it's linked to Mayweather and hates TR because that's Pacquaio or whatever but I think Showtime's numbers are not as good as HBO's cards o ESPN's and the live gates at those PBS cards are usually smaller than other cards.

The biggest draws/best fighters based on live gates, TV audience and consensus pound for pound rankings are either on ESPN or HBO and one Showtime guy/free agent who's promoted by Hearn. Kovalev for example is a bigger draw than any PBC fighter not named Broner and Broner is an average fighter despite you thinking he's better than Lomachenko and GGG he's simply not.

Joshua
GGG
Canelo
Lomachenko
Crawford

There's not one current PBC guy that's in every pound for pound list though most lists have Spence and Mikey Garcia popping up towards the lower end of the top 10 so there's talent but to suggest all the biggest draws and all the good fighters are on PBC is a bit of nonsense really.

They love you when your gone or your dead....You fall right into that category of people you refer to....

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.

No. I like fighters of all colors and backgrounds. My favorite current fighters and all-time fighters proves that. Just because I don't kiss Mayweather's ass doesn't mean I hate Crawford (my favorite current fighter), Spence, Thurman, Charlo's, Russell, Hurd, Jacobs, Andrade (Cape Verde but still). On the contrary you probably won't find me saying a bad word about any of them or siding against them and on the side of a fighter of a different ethnicity just because.

You are very anti-white and very anti-European and it's evident in just about any thread. Examples GGG was dominated by Canelo and Jacobs and they weren't close fights, GGG is a terrible fighter who can't beat anyone, Loma is ducking Walters & Rigo, will get dominated by both, then the fights were fixed, now he's ducking a guy two weight divisions apart who has a history of "calling out fighters" and not signing fights, Loma can't fight or beat anyone and plenty of other anti white and european stances.

Face it. Your racist. I don't hate you for it. You are ignorant and evil but that's your thing. Just own it and don't accuse people of being that way.

Loma is a chicken. He doesn't want Garcia. He scurred..

Mr. Deranged, judging from what you post, you are well-named sir.

I was being sarcastic. We all know that certain posters won't give him an ounce of credit for taking this fight.

I think Loma hired Rigo's Twitter guy. He has upped his Twitter trash talk considerably. That will win over the fans who like Twitter beefs LOL

My apologies then. It is hard for me to tell when someone is being sarcastic or ironic on this site because some folks are extreme in the extreme.

I say this without exaggerating but if Lomachenko were to defeat Linares, Garcia, Pacquaio in 2018, unify all four 140 titles in 2019, beat Crawford for all four 147 belts in 2020 and then beat whoever has all four belts at 154 in 2021 and wins the lineal 160 belt in 2022 becoming the first real 7 division champion ever with no catch-weights the folks that give him no credit today will give him even less if he did all that. He'd have ducked Davis or Easter or Broner or something.

It's funny when Loma wanted to fight Tank, he was accused of being afraid of 135. Last week he said he wanted to fight Easter at 135 and I think that was because Easter said that he'd beat Loma. Loma was called a coward for picking on Easter after he didn't look good against Fortuna. Now that he wants to fight Linares, he's accused of being afraid of Garcia.

Vassil is already Pound-4-Pound number 1. With Vassil moving up now is a great move, to pace him and redeem his background loss as much as possible. Plus more boxing fans will respect that and forget about that lucky drunk Salido. I also think it is a fantastic idea for the matrix to move yet again to 140 when he beats Linares or the ****** thug Davis. I believe there is an interview on youtube where Vassil did not sound certain at 147. Vassil is the real deal athlete and in an era of clean sport. There is no way Vassil can fight above Welterweight. You want to get him killed?
