Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Zero Respect For Lomachenko For Criticizing Mayweather!

[strykr619]

Ellerbe should keep his trap shut before Loma does it for him.

[observer]

Lomachenko, basically in the prime of his career, decided to give Bob Arum 5 more years of his career without even pausing to fathom what he could see in free agency or to get a better deal to stay.

That was a business decision, and a blatant one at that. To call that anything else is foolish.

Sure, it was a business decision - in a way that inaction is also action. Lomachenko didn't pause because he doesn't want to think about this stuff. Are you saying he didn't behave like an 'athlete' there? What else could he have done - declare that he is now travelling the world and fighting for free in a travelling circus?

Loma should never criticize Floyd (5 Divisions Champs) and Pacman (8 Divisions). Calling Pacman old but would not fight him at 140 with the biggest pay day of his life because he is not a businessman like Floyd?! But he is willing to go down to 130 to fight Tank for free as an athlete?!

And where is the inconsistency here? He considers 135 his maximum and can't perform at his best beyond that weight. He also believes that Pacman is way past his best. 130 is closer to his natural weight and Tank is an athlete in his prime. A businessman would go for the money, an athlete wants the best fight with the strongest opponent.

Are you sure Tank is the strongest? Floyd knows! Loma is JUST 3 divisions champs nothing special!

Loma is a businessman as well. Business decisions are made when a fight is being talked about. Maybe it was the "tone" in which Loma said that pissed off Ellerbe. Typed letters are hard to read vs you standing in front of a person when they make the comment. But in no shape or form, is Loma on Floyd's level. That includes boxing skills or business acumen. Loma has topped out at 135. Floyd went all the way to JMW. So the arguement stops there.

Your post is all about defending Ellerbe's insecurity with Loma's statements to worshipping Floyd. That's was the whole point. Nuff said

[k0ntr0ll]

Mayweather has described himself as a "prizefighter" for years, and the best to ever do it honestly. He's forfeited belts to make the fight that promised more money. Loma is a few levels above most fighters today, in any weightclass, similar to how Floyd was a few years back. Loma wants to fight the best and wants the belts and the legacy because he's built such a remarkable legacy up until and including now. Hopefully boxers take more control of their careers like Floyd and also look to make the best fights, like Loma is.

Go back into my archives, and if u can’t find any post, past or present, where I’m lauding Crawford I want u to change ur name from Boxing Goat to
Sonic The Hedgehog.

Do we have a deal u muppet ?

No, we don't have a deal you ignorant mongrel

[Boxing Goat]

Not everyone , I don’t.However, there is no denying Loma is the man. He beats Gervonta easily , yes he Gervonta is a brother But he embarrasses him to be honest. I always said he beats Mikey as Mikey has slow feet and hands just good timing. I didn’t need to see him get clobbered by Spence to make that assessment.

Now loma’s last fight he is supposed to get rid of the likes of Crolla so I can’t give him any real credit there( even though I enjoyed the clinic) his last fight against pedrasa he just came of shoulder surgery that said he was horrible but mitigating circumstances. The fight before that he fought Linares who I really rate but was knocked out in the 1st round recently yet Loma had a competitive fight with him for those last 3 fights he is not P4P no1. Maybe 3.

Crawford I’m not impressed with his opponents so I’ve left 1 and 2 empty from my P4P list because no one deserves it. Maybe if Canelo knocks out Jacob or usyk knocks out Takam I might give it to them

Loma's records is star studded for 13 fights. No fighter has ever had 12 title fights in 13 fights. EVER. ALL TIME. There is no dis*****g that he's P4P #1.
I feel like people hate on him kinda in the same way many hated Eminim. He's just stellar in a game that is commonly a "minority" sport. I'm sure that's not easy to accept.

[Scipio2009]

Do you think he'll stay at 130?

For a little bit, yeah. At least for the next year. And then, he likely looks for the next best opportunity, before his body makes that decision for him.

[The Big Dunn]

Loma knows the biz. He knows Tank would fight him as Tank is a fighter. He also knows Floyd is preventing it. Just remember that this entire Loma/Tank fiasco started when Floyd publicly dissed Loma after the Rigo fight.


Floyd and Ellerbe are watching Tank like a hawk. They make him delete tweets whenever Tank tries to say something back to Loma. They keep silencing him at press conferences. It is really weird what is going on. Loma took what Floyd said as an attack on his own legacy that he is trying to build. He said to him basically throw the best you have at me in Tank.


Floyd Started all This

Deanrw this is weak. Floyd started it. This isn’t kindergarten. You are blaming this reaponsenon something said years ago. Come on.
