My Take: Response to a Lomachenko Fan

Are you saying you are a fighter's fan only if you think he's unbeatable. That's what I am getting out of this post or an I wrong??I posted this in another thread:
________________________
"These people, these people, these people." Why you keep saying that? Who are we? I'm not a troll, people here know that. Why you keep undermining people who want the fight?
Your post is full of nonsense and excuses. I'm one of the people demanding the fight. Save me your belts and all that crap.
You know I was a Lomachenko fan (a good one too) until the Crolla fight was announced. I made many posts where I say Loma is special (you ignore that). I justified some of his struggles with nondescript opponents like Linares and Pedraza because I thought he was too small for 135. I said he's marvelous to watch.
All that niceties aside, I'm his fan, not his woman, like some here seem. I want to see some competition, some excitement, people buzzing, something, anything, except 100-1 mismatches. It's disappointing.
I despise belts, website rankings, Boxrec (the worst thing in boxing, IMO, except for fighters' records), or any of that crap. I wanna see good fights.
In Loma's last fight, something I've never paid attention to before, he looked completely robotical, one-dimensional (despite fighting a can), amateurish, and needed two rounds to warm up. Loma is like a skilled machine, and those pitty patty two-handed fans in the first few rounds, are the engine starters. If he warms up, you are gone.
These skilled young guns won't give him respect from the first second of the fight. Davis can fly with a loaded punch from one side of the ring to the other. Lopez with uppercuts. Davis too (about the uppercuts).
Even if he starts the machine, he won't be the same. More battering to ensue. You saw how bad his face was against featherfisted Pedraza. Davis punches at least 5 times harder than Pedraza. His face will be cooked.
He's not looking at a Crolla situation: a complete, utter can.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery (belts, promoters, and stuff like that) and demand challenges, not mismatches, that demean rather than elevate your fighter. Use your eyes.
I'm no longer a Lomachenko fan because of people like you (ChrisJr).
Peace.Comment

Look at my name. If you are enjoying what's happening in boxing, especially the mismatches some so called best boxers in the world are having, that's on you.
I talk about many boxers and watch boxing every weekend. Maybe some of you only watch boxing for certain fighters. I don't. My second most favorite is Erickson Lubin. He has a loss. Losing is a part of boxing.Comment

I don't enjoy the mismatches in boxing and I don't watch boxing every weekend. I didn't watch the Fielding/Canelo, Golovkin/Vanes, Spence/Garcia fights untill quite a bit later because they were all terrible mismatches.In fact I'm still baffled as to why Garcia wanted that fight.Look at my name.

That's what I'm talking about. Isn't GGG fighting some unknown middleweight at 164 next?I don't enjoy the mismatches in boxing and I don't watch boxing every weekend.

While Crolla was a mismatch, it was made because Commey got injured and pulled out. Crolla had only been stopped short of the distance once before in his career. He twice went the distance with Linares--remember Linares, the guy all the haters said was going to put an end to the Loma hype train? They needed a short notice replacement, and Crolla stepped up.
Like many have stated, if he fights Lopez, he'll school him and then be accused of cherry picking an inexperienced fighter. No one else is in a hurry to fight Loma, which should tell you something.Comment
