Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: My Goal is To Unify at 135, Maybe Return To 130

[Boxing_1013]

Do you understand that the dude has only fought once since last April? ONCE! I don't care whose fault that is, he gets shyt from people for a reason. At this age and level he should be fighting 3 times a year but he seems to be leaning towards Broner's way of living with all the troubles he has been getting into lately. It's all talk and no walk. He has 21 fights under his belt but still sitting in super featherweight calling out people left and right to make his weight.

I'm not really a fan of his at all, I just think in the ring he handles his business so far, from what I have seen. I have really only watched clips and highlights of him though, not whole fights.

I agree it would be nice for him to be more active. But he is only 24 with 21 fights and 20 KOs so that's not a bad start to a career. I don't co-sign all the extra stuff that comes with him or anything he does outside of the ring.

I just think inside the ring he seems to present a type of challenge to Loma and I would like to see how it would play out. I fully admit I do not follow any weights under 147 very closely though so I am not sure what talent is out there besides him and Loma and maybe Lopez.

But from what I've seen Davis has had some impressive performances and I think people saying he would have no chance against Loma, I mean he's done enough I think to give him at least the proverbial puncher's chance. And I have Loma number 1 pfp by a pretty decent margin.

Loma is number 1 pfp for me but Lopez is too big for him man lol. That's why he has to move up asap. That fight just won't happen. He looks similar to a Canelo build to me, when he is full grown.

Teo stopping journeymen doe.

This hypejob is really starting to regress lol

Loma has maxed out at 135. He's not the same fighter and is taking a lot of punishment to get wins at 135. If he goes up anymore he is getting knocked the phuk out. Honestly if he make 130 that's the weight he is more dominate at.

[BillyBoxing]

I mean a pfp list is always going to be a combination of the eye test and resume. I just think Spence is special. Every time out he does what he is supposed to do or better. That's typically how I grade guys. I also give Spence credit for destroying Algieri when Khan or Pac couldn't and for doing the same to a big WW in Van Heerden. Not exactly HOF stuff but when you put it all together it is the beginnings of a good resume.

I like Crawford but yeah I don't think Errol lets it go 12 rounds with David Benevidez. I just think Spence is a big talented bully at 147 and Spence would be number 1 right now at 154 too imo. Pretty obvious to me that the other guys at 147 haven't wanted anything to do with him, imo again.

Hopefully the top guys at 147 will all fight each other soon. We've gotten a few good fights at 147 recently but now the top 3 guys - Crawford Thurman and Spence all need to fight each other. I think Spence stops both but maybe I'm wrong. Hope we find out.

I know a lot of people on here hate on GGG but I view Spence as starting to do what GGG did in his career. Taking on good fighters and just smashing everyone put in front of him, while being avoided by quite a few guys as well. GGG did that for about 8-10 years Spence has been doing it for about 3-4.

If you don't rate Spence that high - what do you think happens with Crawford/Spence and Mikey/Spence? I thought I saw you have Mikey on your pfp list so you probably have that one closer than me.

Man Spence deserves respect, what I don't like on his record is most people where coming off hard losses, softened...brook, algieri...

That's not top 5 P4P to me.

Good comparison with GGG agreed.

Man you got kids like Loma, bud fighting in their 3rd weight classes and beating up dudes, would Spence do this in a 3rd weight class Vs middleweights? Remains to be seen. You gotta be fair when it comes to P4P.

And bud is the best boxer on the planet, maybe with Loma, bud is sweet science sugar boxing, the only reason why Spence has a shot is because he's naturally bigger which is always an advantage for a stalker.

Bud can do it all, he's a master boxer IMO this dude has no limits.

I believe Spence on the other hand is limited, but dude is straight hitman at 147.

Yeah I rated Mikey P4P top 5, so high but on a 135 pounder basis

at 147... I don't even know if he'd top 5 in the division lol

Ugas probably beat Mikey.

I wouldn't be surprised if Spence struggles to box Mikey but his size will prevail late.

His frame is rather big. He'll probably end up @ 147 in his prime! However, I don't see a reason not to make this fight in 2019! We know it won't happen @ 140! Plus Teofimo has star power! If he bodies Tatis on 4/20, then they should make Loma vs. Lopez after Loma destroys Crolla!

I would rather see Lopez vs Haney and the winner get the shot at Loma. Lopez vs Haney would create more of a buzz and the winner will have fought a serious threat to get the shot. But Arum is going to get Lopez a title before any considerations are made by him pitting his two fighters against each other.

I hope they can get Lopez a shot at the WBC whilst Loma is fighting Commey. That could set up a huge fight between Loma and Teofimio in the first part of 2020 for all the marbles.

I agree lopez is still too green him fighting loma next makes no sense!

I think we should expect Lopez vs. Loma (ESPN) and also Davis vs. Haney (PBC) once Tank goes to 135! I don't expect to see any cross-network bouts unless there was a purse bid! I definitely don't see any May vs. Pac deals being done any time soon!
