Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Would Drop Down For Gervonta Davis, Jabs Lopez

[j.razor]

Lol have you even watched Berchelt fight? Just because he's Mexican doesn't mean he's a Salido clone. He's got a different style and Lomachenko is a lot more experienced now then he was 5 years ago.

A 12 loss Salido beat him so I'm pretty sure more can beat him too.

Good joke. Haney would get beat by Davis and Lopez let alone Lomachenko.

No he wouldn't. I got Haney beating them. He already sonned lopez & I think he mixed it up with Tank already. l0m0's team don't want that smoke.

Nobody is afraid of pillow hands Devin Haney. Very overhyped, he poses zero threat to Lomachenko.

That would be a real nice card.

Are you noticing how many Loma fans want to see Loma vs. Tank, but not Loma vs. Teofimo Lopez? Loma has been calling out Tank since he was 22, but he won't call out Lopez, and everyone is like "Lopez is still green!" Also, if Loma will go to 130 for Tank, who is with PBC, why not go down to 130 for Berchelt, who is co-promoted by Top Rank?

He fought everyone when they were on WINNING streaks &/or their prime, you talking about pacquiao & the only reason you dudes started talking about zero losses is to make up a way to discredit T.B.E. just like you dudes say the best of THIS era to discredit him also. If Floyd beat Nelo now you dudes would STILL come up with an excuse but you dudes didn't have an excuse when Floyd beat Hernandez at 21 years of age right, Floyd wasn't too green when he won his 1st title?? T.B.E. at 50 years old you dudes are going to say he can't beat Nelo now, ya'll on some dumb shet….LMMFAO!

holy crap you talking about floyd? this guys such a tribalist he might actually believe this crap. he has zero great wins over prime greats. zero. deal with it. a real great you wold think wold have at least 1 or 2 right? floyd breaks the mold! the only guy who was close to prime was canelo and we all know he refused to fight him at the weight that they were both champions at. pusss-yyy and the only reason he did that is because he couldnt wait for canelo to get old like all his other "great" wins so he had to do operation draino.

Loma wants to actually challenge himself. Loma fans want him to take on the best.

Lopez is an exciting prospect.

Loma is chasing greatness. You don't achieve greatness by taking on exciting prospects.

Beating Davis is a much better achievement than beating Lopez, it is as simple as that.

Loma doesn't run from challenges - he runs towards them. If he isn't interested in a fight, it is probably because he doesn't rate the fighter. It isn't a sign that the fighter is too scary, it is a sign that they aren't scary enough.

I expect that Lopez will make himself more viable within the next year or so. I hope he does. He needs to step up and actually beat someone with a pulse first though.

I think Teofimo is more than a prospect! I don't think Tank beat anyone great yet @ 130, and everyone complains when he beats guys like Cuellar, Walsh, and Pedraza! They complained when he was set to face Mares! Add to that, Tank has not proven he is a draw! So I don't see the difference between Tank and Teofimo, other than Teofimo actually wants the fight!

Has Tank proved he's better than Miguel Berchelt? Berchelt is with TR, and that should be easy to make! Why not go to 130 for Berchelt? Why not challenge Berchelt to come to 135?

Lastly, Manny Pacquiao was a challenge, especially @ 140! He was coming off a win over Matthysse, and he had a title! Loma didn't "run" toward that challenge! If you're gonna tell me fighting Tank is better than fighting Pacquiao, then kill yourself! Pacquiao vs. Loma would've been HUGE!

The problem with waiting is that Teofimo Lopez Sr. has already said that his son is moving to 140 in 2020! They said they're not gonna wait around for Loma! That tells me Lopez is struggling to keep at 135 already, and his frame will carry 147 eventually! That's why I think that Loma vs. Lopez needs to happen in 2019! Tank doesn't want it, Berchelt doesn't want it, so after the Commey fight, why not?

Beltran is at 140, Pedraza don't want no smoke, so I hope the WBC orders Campbell vs. Lopez for the vacant WBC Lightweight title! Maybe Loma will fight Lopez if he has a title!?

Berchelt will fight him. You’re right that Tank won’t though. The thing is Lopez is a good option if there’s no mandatory due or unification can’t be done until the kid proves himself. He’s done nothing as of yet so it’s a hard push to make that a big fight that Lopez would take small money for. I don’t think he should fight Campbell or Commey either because those are 50/50s that he’d probably lose at this point. Commey and Berchelt are more competitive, significant and intriguing fights at this point.

If only Orlando Salido is back in the ring. Cant we get Teofimo and Siri. Or Tank and him.

I agree that Loma vs. Berchelt is a great fight, and I think if Loma is willing to go 130 for Tank, he should do the same for Berchelt! I think it would be HUGE in L.A.! And it's easier to make!

If the WBC (God please) orders Lopez vs. Campbell, for the vacant WBC Lightweight title, Teofimo MUST TAKE IT! That's best route to Loma, because if Lopez has that strap, then Loma will come!

Lastly, I could care less if Lopez took an "L" right now! Canelo lost to Floyd! Loma lost to Salido! Pacquiao lost to Erik Morales in '05! He's a Champion in '19! Who cares about any of that now? NOBODY! Teofimo is a star in the making! I don't think Loma should risk seeing Teofimo Lopez go to 140 without ever fighting him! It's 2019 or never! January 2020 at the latest! MAN UP!
