Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Lomachenko, Munguia-Hogan, Shields

I think Loma has his sights on inification at lightweight, and in sheer legacy terms, that gets the gold star.

Commey is a stepping stone to do that, so its not Commey as such, its getting his belt. If the WBC belt can't be got for some reason, then Berchelt will likely move up in line.

Edit. A slick Bobfather move might be to have Berchelt go to 135 and exercise his right as the 130 WBC champ to get a shot at the WBC 135 belt, which, assuming Mikey vacates, would set up Berchelt Campbell, then Loma takes winner.

I think the WBO is the only one that has that rule! I hope Mikey vacates, and hopefully Bob is slick enough to get Campbell vs. Lopez for the vacant WBC title! I doubt it, but it would be nice to see!

Bread keeping it real, as always. Great job calling out the Lomachenko haters and labelling them what they really are.

Good info, thanks, so hard keeping up with the alphabet rules.

For sure, campbell and Teo would be nice if Bob could swing it.

Thats opinion not fact. Canelo struggled with all his top fights at a young age learning on the fly he arguably lost some but they were close either way decisions you cant knock on that everything else is opinionated. Give credit where credit is due non one is doing what Canelo is doing right now

I knew the Loma haters would still try to make noise with an article that is 100% accurate. lmaooooo.....Why can't Loma say Lopez needs better wins when Mayweather, who I'm sure you service, made a career out of saying that? In fact, we hear that all the time from heavyweight to bantamweight. Why is it bad for Loma to say that? Why? We know why....yes we do.

if you read what bread said, it's because it's hypocritical of Loma to say that about lopez when Loma got 2 back to back title shots after accomplishing literally nothing as a pro. So why was it OK for him to demand title shots without any significant pro accomplishments but it's wrong for lopez to say he wants to fight Loma?

The author is out of his mind calling Loma to fight Lopez and comparing this to Loma’s title shot in 2nd fight. Did López won 2 Olympic gold medals? Did Lopez won 2 world amateur gold medals? Did López won Val Barker trophy? Was López universally recognized as the best P4P amateur in the world?
No, Lopez lost in 1st round of the Olympics, never faced top 10 lightweight and ranked as 32nd lightweight by boxrec.
So my question to Stephen "Breadman" Edwards is this: are you out of your mind?

[steven_z]

I agree Lomachenko should give the fight to Lopez. He just talked about his legacy being important to him. Well, you have a young brash fighter sh_tting all over your legacy everyday.

That’s exactly the problem, Loma wants to build his legacy, to be in history. You don’t build your legacy by fighting nobodies. If Lopez does something in the sport - win a title, then he’ll get Loma shot.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Which fight would be better for Loma in terms of legacy and money? Commey or Berchelt?

I'd say neither. What have they done except hold some nonsense trinkets? Who is the best fighter they have beaten in between them to be anybody's legacy defining fight?

This is pro boxing. It has nothing to do with amateur stuff.

When Loma was intending to sign with a promoter in 2013 he went on tour in US and met with Golden Boy, Main Events and Top Rank. His condition for signing was to give him title shot in the 1st fight. Only Top Rank was capable of giving him title shot, but in 2nd fight. Loma was able to make such demands because of his stellar amateur career.
That’s the connection for you between amateurs and pro.
