    Why doesn't Arum just feed Lopez to Loma?

    Lopez is with Top Rank right? Loma would be the favorite but he'd have his hands full.

    Is Arum just letting the fight marinate? Is he afraid Lopez might derail Loma? If Lopez loses to Loma, no big deal, he'll still go on to have a good career, but if Loma loses to Lopez it seriously damages his invincible image.

    It would be a great fight though. Lopez is very quick and explosive with power in both hands and he would the naturally bigger fighter. If Loma is as good as everyone thinks he is, he should press for this fight.

    Loamchenko just said he wants to fight Lopez. And Arum has said he wants them to fight in 2020 after Lopez gets a little more experience.

        He wants to make sure Lopez will win. Lopez has much greater star potential with the U.S market.

            Lomachenko wrecks him, people need to quit hyping these guys like tank and lopez as if they have a legit chance. Theyve done nothing.

              The bold: Yes.

              Loma is not invincible as you say. Former journeyman, now Uber driver, Salido has a win over him. Loma recently struggled with two average boxers in Linares and Pedraza as well. Lopez will do much better than those. He's a hundred times better choice than Crolla.

              Let's do this fight NOW.

                Uber driver Salido disagrees. He says both beat him. Loma isn't invincible by any stretch, except maybe to blind fanboys like yourself.

                Let's make the Lopez fight first. There isn't any promotional divide. Easy to make. Let's do it.

                  Tank's best (only good win) is an "average boxer". lol you are such a dumb fanboy.

                    Remember when you made these threads about Loma ducking Rigo, like on a bi-weekly basis? haters always find reason to stay mad.
