Comments Thread For: Arum: Lomachenko Wants Mikey Garcia Fight Right After Pedraza

[Vasyl’s dad]

Are you calling Jose Pedraza lower-tier comp? He did beat Farmer by KO, beat Edner Cherry, beat Ray Beltran, and now facing Lomachenko. Tank took him out 7!

Rigo beat Donaire and then what?

He said 3-4 years. Here's the video. It's from six months ago.

There's also videos of Robert saying Lomachenko is his favorite fighter and his choice as pound for pound best. He's fairly honest. A lot more honest than even Mikey fanboys are. Mikey fanboys buy into every "call out" and never hold him responsible.

The Spence stuff was a joke from the get.

Oh, OK, I get it! He said 3-4 years because of network issues! Truth! Like he said, Mikey is not going to ESPN, Loma is not going to Showtime, which is true! I thought you were saying that Robert said 3-4 years because Mikey was scared or something! I feel bad for Loma and Crawford because I don't see the fighters they want coming to ESPN, and definitely not when Arum says things like "Tell your brother to shut the f**k up!" It is what it is!

I don't know what you're trying to say? Break it down for me please?

Rigo beat everybody @ Super Bantamweight, moved up 2 weight classes at age 37, and embarrassed himself! What's that got to do with whether you feel Jose Pedraza is a lower tier fighter? I'll ask again, is Jose Pedraza "lower tier comp?"

Thats the difference between Loma and the cowardice bum beater GGG. Loma moves up in divisions and fights the best back to back. GGG on the other hand faced only bums until 2017 and is scared to move up at least to 168.

I’m a fan of both, but you can’t compare the two. G debuted in His natural weight class, Loma didn’t.

And 160 is a better more competitive class than 168. I don’t see the point of moving up just to do it.

Calling it now, arum will pitch a 70-30 split for Loma which Mikey will turn down. Arum will go back to media and say mikey declined a more than fair offer and is delusional about his value. Fight will never happen.

Sounds about right !

The point is, beating one guy, doesnt make you an experienced fighter at the highest level. As it is, Tank doesnt even have five best wins. He has Jose Freaking Pedraza.

I'm reasonable. I don't get attached to these guys lol

We just disagree on that "tough guy" remark lol

You see two tough guys and I see two hungry guys who've been looked over for years and decided to change their look and persona to raise their profile (it worked by the way lol). I respect that awareness.

fair enough , i hope i am wrong actually becuase i hope both reach their full potential means alot of great fights at 154 and 160 soon.

I won't ask for a third time! I just assume from your comments that you consider Pedraza a lower tier fighter! Well if Lomachenko can fight Pedraza, after Tank smoked him in 7, then I think Tank can fight Mikey Garcia ASAP! I don't know if he can win, but he's worthy of the fight! No one can say Mikey is wrong for fighting Tank, when Lomachenko is fighting Pedraza!
