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

[Bronx2245]

No it wouldn't. Not in any serious legacy way. It might have made him money, it might have got his name known by more casuals.

But Loma keeps it real. Which is why he brushed off his win over Rigo as not being that amazing. An ancient Manny, killing himself to fight at a weight he hasn't fought at in ten years... only casuals would be impressed with that.

Mikey is the number 1 fight Loma fans have been wanting for a while now. With that fight seemingly getting further out of reach, then it is a matter of looking around at who else is worthy. Davis and Berchelt, sure, they are both okay. Unifying is also a worthy goal.

Lopez might be a decent fight in another year or two.

It's fair that you are high on your fighter right now. I agree that he is exciting. But you are adding two and two together and getting five.

Loma isn't interested yet, because Lopez hasn't done enough. Not because he is too scary. Just wait and see - if Lopez continues the way he is going, then he will attract the interest of the worlds best fighter.

Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko would've been 10 times bigger than Loma vs. Rigo, and it would've been a Top Rank PPV on ESPN! Loma fought Rigo when he was 37, why not Pacquiao when he was 39?

If Tank and Berchelt are "okay," then why is Loma willing to go to 130 for Tank, and not Berchelt? Neither has proven they can sell, and Berchelt has the better resume, AND BERCHELT IS WITH TOP RANK! If Loma was willing to fight Berchelt @ 130, I don't think Berchelt would be sitting around waiting for Vargas to heal up!

The problem with waiting to fight Lopez "in another year or two," is that Lopez will be at 140 "in another year or two!" Will he fight Lopez @ 140...HELL NO!

Loma is a great fighter, but he made a big mistake passing on Pacquiao! He shouldn't let this opportunity (Teofimo Lopez) pass him! Mikey and Tank are with the PBC, and Mikey ain't coming back to 135! Teofimo Lopez and Miguel Berchelt are right there in his backyard! He has to capitalize NOW!

Because until last week, Berchelt was rematching Vargas in March, but he busted his hand in camp:

Also, other than myself and a couple other posters, I’ve seen ZERO people even bring up the idea of Loma/Berchelt.

And Lopez is still green lol. Hopefully he fights someone with more of a pulse on the 4/20 card

Well you must not have been seeing my posts! I think that's a great fight, and if Loma is willing to go to 130 for Tank, then I think he should do the same for Berchelt, because Berchelt has a better resume, and he's already with Top Rank! I don't think Berchelt would be sitting around waiting for Vargas if Loma wanted to fight him @ 130!

Lopez is still green, and so was Canelo, and so was Loma, when he fought Salido, but that didn't stop their shine, so I don't see the problem! I think there are many more people that would be way more interested in Loma vs. Lopez, than Loma vs. Crolla or Commey! ESPN would make it so!

I just hope Arum can convince the WBC to order #1 Campbell vs. #5 Lopez, for the vacant WBC Lightweight title! Maybe if Lopez get a title, suddenly he won't be seen as "green." Then again, Canelo had a title, and 43 fights, and people still called him "green," but he made his money, and he can say he fought the best! I want Teofimo Lopez to get his shot!

Issue with Lopez being green though, is if Loma beats him, there is no credit for that. In fact, people will say he only took the fight because he was green (People do that with Floyd/Canelo to this day, and like you mentioned he had 43 fights already!)

I don't want to see Loma/Crolla either, but it's a mandatory so hands are tied (would be nice if the WBA could decide if super champs had mandatories or not) but if Teo could win Campbell/Lopez then Loma/Lopez can get made I'm sure!

So , what your saying is Loma is avoiding Mikey if I’m correct

I don’t think Garcia will come back down to 135 anyway

Probably come back to 140 and that depends on his victory over Spence

I don’t think either or are the type of guys that would avoid a fight : Loma took on Salido which at the time everyone thought was crazy etc etc
Now the other nut is moving up to fight the limpy Spence

And I bet this fight gets made as fast as the Garcia Spence fight got made
Because boxers do have a say who they fight

Yeah neither of those fighters are duckers.

Loma fought salido as his second pro fight and took right after a fight with Russell in his third pro fight.
Ect ..

Mikey is going nuts after Spence who true welterweights are somehow avoiding.

Those 2 are beyond any critics of challenging themselves IMO.

I'm a Loma fan but I have nothing bad to say about Mikey, I will support him Vs Spence since it is a very brave move.

Floyd messing up Davis career with his own insecurities, Davis is ready now. Lomo is going to lose very soon, and they are going to miss the boat in getting that credit.

all you do is deflect away from a lomachenko vs davis fight that's the best fight out there. skill vs power! lomachenko is willing to move down to face davis.

The fck Mayweather gotta do wit it?!

He don't make decisions on Devin Haney's career.

Or did you get that news ****t?

Do I need to spell it out for you? I was referring to the part of your statement regarding Davis. Next time you go hooting and hollering about Davis beating Lom, maybe you should convince Mayweather and Davis because both are avoiding Lomachenko and have gone on record to prove that fact.

Good reply. Much respect!

I just don't see a big difference in Davis and Teofimo Lopez. That's skill vs. power! Please explain to me what's the big difference between Tank and Teofimo, and please don't say belts, because belts do not equal talent! Also, please explain to me how Tank is better than Berchelt! I'll wait!
