Comments Thread For: Roach: Crawford is a More Complete Fighter Than Lomachenko

[BoxingIsGreat]

Your prospect Lopez should fight someone better then no namers like the guy this saturday... His whole resume is a complete joke... Plus he should be fighting at 140 anyways stop beating up lil guys...

Lomachenko isn't a "lil guy." Did you see his last fight against the GREAT Crolla? He was built like a tank. He must have been close to or a little above 150 that night.

He should be able to handle Crawford at 147 if he's as good as his fans say he is. Moving up 2 divisions is like a trend these days.

Freddie Roach is correct, both P4P #1. Terence 'Bud' Crawford and Vasyl Lomochenko fought Mexicans in their second fight as professionals ; one effortlessly passed the Mexican style test, the other struggled and failed miserably.

Failed miserably? The guy lost a SPLIT decision fight, and won last rounds as well and you call it failed miserably.... racist mfers lol Crawford should not be even mentioned as p4p until he cleans out his devision Like loma did at 130, you got Spence, Garcia, Thurman, Porter ..... Beat them and then we can talk about P4P throne.

Loma already moved up 2 weight divisions from 126. You want Loma jump over 4 weight divisions LOL. Jennifer Lopez is a prospect and already cant fit into 135 lol Throw that trash out into 147 and let him fight crawford next...

Any OBJECTIVE person KNOWS this. We didnt need roach to tell us this. Crawford is p4p #1 ANYBODY sayin' otherwise is biased

That BS and you know it or MAYBE your biased.Could it be a ANOTHER reason your saying that?Also im not black but one of my favorite guys in history is Jack Johnson not just boxing but just in general.The facts are Loma has a 65-6 reach and that's HUGE for a boxer style to move up weights.Craw has a HUGE reach at 74 and REALLY has only moved up once because he was fighting at 40 until title shot,and think making 35 was KILLING him and effected his punch resistance.Also Loma was coming in at 37 fight night at 30 so that's a small jr lightweight.Craw will be coming in close to 160 tonight if not a tad higher.Every body is not same and that's why anyone with ANY knowledge of boxing don't sh it on Hagler and Pep for just staying at natural div and beating all fighters/style's that come along.Much more impressive then cherry picking title's jumping div like Broner.Also I think Craw is #2 so im obv a big fan,and think Mayweather and Sweet Pea are best fighters since class of 1980(Chavez,Nelson,Curry ect)so my Irish azz has NO problems with Black fighters obv.

Loma has a small body frame -- he isn't competitive at 140... (not a huge Loma fan here...)

because of Nicolae Ceaușescu?

Man cmon look at facts not what you guessing he looks like on TV,and almost every writer made a comment at weigh in on how much bigger Crolla looked.The facts are Loma was at 37 on fight nite when fighting at 37,thats a small 30pder he also has a 65-6 in reach which is HUGE for a guy with a boxer style to move up div.Craw has a HUGE reach at 74 and has RALLY only moved once because he was fighting at 40 before he got shot at 35pd title and KILLED himself making weight to point of hurting his punch resistance imo.Also Craw will be around 160 tonight if not a tad higher,these things can be seen in their 30,14,7 day weigh ins before fights.Craw is MUCH bigger then Loma and his body type gives a better chance when fighting bigger guys and that means NOTHING.Hagler and PEP are ATGs who never left 1st divisions and Pep lost to Ambers only time he tried hand at 135 but NO ONE holds that against him because he also had a body/style not suited for moving up divisions.

[Floyd is TBE]

Ohhh you mean like Floyd “the cherry picker”, who moved up to fight GGG ????!!! LoL The contract on his head was ready for 154 lbs, but his whole team sh11ted in trousers and called GGG a giant lol. A ****** Rigondeax moved up to get paid himself, he had a chance to fight Loma at 126 before but blew it... Nice try, you weasel Floyd fans all the same....

Floyd has already proven himself in how many weight classes? He's faced bigger and better comp. than 97G and he's beaten them easy. But when Lomachenko squared off against mediocre fighters at higher weights - he got bullied and challenged by Salido and Pedraza. They put fear put into his heart. Got that boy talking about 135 is ceiling. Loma doesn't have the heart to step into the unknown the way Rigo did. A bunch of middle of the road fighters got ya boy Loma scared

[chrisJS]

I believe Crawford is the most complete all around fighter currently. Lomachenko is more explosive, a more eye catching talent but Crawford does everything well at distance, mid range and in close.

[Sheldon312]

I disagree. Loma has the better footwork, jab, defense, and has more of an arsenal compared to Crawford. Plus, Loma has arguably a top 3 resume in boxing.

Honestly, I think Pacquaio left Arum b/c there was some funny business with the money! Remember Manny talking about suing, then Arum came up with the money later? I think Manny wanted to fight him, but Freddie didn't! Arum said he killed the fight to save Manny. Who knows? Bud needed that fight! I remember a time when him, or his team, said Pac had to come to 140! That was dumb! A lot of blame all around!

I do think Spence would jump for Canelo, and Canelo isn't scared of anyone! I don't know if Oscar would do it? It would be bigger than Spence vs. Crawford for sure!

The 2 events that made Pac decide to finally split from Arum was this...

Getting screwed over in the Horn fight (Arum could of made sure this was avoided but in his greed he thought he can create a new cash cow).

Trying to "downgrade" Manny and Co Main with Crawford... That was the last slap in the face for him (remember he was already Jobbed in the first Bradley fight and he let that slide).

Pac after that will not give Arum any paydays at this point.

Crawford is banking that he will catch Khan and KO him but if he doesn't i can see Khan outworking him... (Thou IMO i think Khan's chin is gone now at this point).
