Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Crolla Purse Bid Pushed Back To February 6

No. It'll be the shoulder or the weight! I can buy the weight excuse. His skill to weight ratio is 130 pounds, optimum, with 135 pushing it a little.

Loma is a pretty good fighter (B+ now with a potential) but I want to see him demanding the big challenges like Berchelt, Machado, Farmer, Lopez, or the king of the area himself, Davis.

Hes a good fighter but at 135(his olympic equivalent) hes just on the level as the other champs not above like he was at lower weights. I think hes a victim of his own hypetrain,hes never going to be able to live up to the rediculous expectations,hes just not near as superior as the media make it seem,hes on the top tier for 135 but he still has a lot to prove to become a genuine hofer,so far his wins are similar to crawfords at 140,Crawford just has a higher ceiling imho where as Loma will always end up in dogfights at 135 due to not being a huge puncher just above average,& his chin is average at 135 imho.
