Comments Thread For: Report: Lomachenko-Linares Fight Finalized for May 12 at MSG

[HI-TECH Boxing]

I can't put 10-1 Lomachenko over 37-0 Mikey Garcia, and 32-0 Terence Crawford. The "eye test" tells me he's best since Mayweather, but his resume is still lacking. Which would you choose for Mikey next, if the choices were Robert Easter Jr. @ 135 or Danny Garcia @ 147?

Loma's resume is lacking but Crawford's resume isn't?
Crawford has almost triple the fights and his resume doesn't stand out at all.
How embarrassing for Terence.

I just got off the phone with GRJ. He says the Loma vs Linares fight is proof that Loma is trying to put as many weight classes as he can between them to avoid their rematch.

Yet he does have "almost triple the fights." Longevity should count for something right? TC and Loma are only 5 months apart in age, yet TC has been fighting Pros since 2008, and has won lineal titles in 2 weights classes, and Unified the titles @ 140! I don't see how ESPN can rank Loma above TC, especially with a loss on his (Loma's) record. Very disrespectful!
