Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Toughest Foes: Campbell, Garcia - NOT Lopez

[SteveM]

seriously, I get annoyed when boxers or promotors try to take fans for idiots. If you were to poll real fans, lopez and Davis would be the top 2 names they'd like Loma to face. Not Campbell and not Mikey since we all know what it'd do to him in order to make 135.

Lopez passes the eye test and so does Tank but neither of them have done half as much as Mikey. Campbell is a talent. He's on Linares' level at least. We think Lopez and Tank are on that level but we don't know it so let Lopez fight Campbell or Linares and he'll be a better fighter for it. As for Tank, glad to note your enthusiasm but maybe you could have a word in Ellerbe's ear

Why is Lopez even in the conversation? That Honduran dumb-ass never fought even a former world champion, has only 12 fights and ranked as 32nd lightweight by boxrec. The guy is LITERALLY nobody. You must be insane mentioning him in the same sentence with P4P #1.

The fight would be bad business for Arum, Lopez is a potential star. They want to build him up and get the Latino audience paying for him, throwing him in against someone like Loma would derail all of that. If I was Team Lopez and I really want this fight then get a belt, get your promoter to put you in the other two title fights.

I know what Mikey has accomplished but following a 1 sided loss and knowing he'd likely struggle greatly to make 135 again, that fight has lost luster. With lopez, he's growing out of 135 and he wants the fight, so I say make it happen. I know that there are politics at play with Davis but again, I'm mentioning the fights that most fans would prefer and I'm sure tank rates higher on the list than Campbell.

Lopez vs Vaginta "stank"Davis

[Corelone]

All I know is, 135 went stale quick. No giants to hunt here.

I think Arum doesn't want to make that fight simply because He wants two big money fighters instead of one.

I will say this about Lopez he doesn't have the names on his resume like Lomachenko has. So I wonder how he will hold up against a top guy. Which is also why I believe Loma should take the fight now while Lopez is green. If Lopez ends up sharpening his skills more he could pose more of a threat down the road.

Just wanna laugh @ Campbell first. I will read the thread later. Shields and Hammer card starting now.

I like Lopez but he hasn't fought anybody yet.. and he may very well get a Mayweather-Canelo type beat down going up against Loma at this point in his young career. It all looks good from the outside until he steps in with a seasoned veteran Champion like Loma that's still in his prime...
