Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Campbell Talks Progress, Few Hurdles Remain

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

While it's no secret that Vasiliy Lomachenko and Luke Campbell will eventually collide, the specifics on where and when still remain very much up in the air. Contrary to the rumors of a done deal, talks remain ongoing for a three-belt lightweight clash between the pair of Olympic Gold medalists. The general terms are well established and a strong indication of the fight eventually transitioning from continued discussion to signed and sealed.

This fight is unacceptable, Loma is elite, top shelf, he is wasting his ridiculous talent fighting this guy. Britain is known for some pretty solid C level and B level guys, on the occasion the Nation will produce something special from time to time, last guy was Froch and currently its the most talented HW I have ever seen, King Fury. The rest? fillers, undercard talent. Facts.

Can’t wait for Tank to fight that badass Nunez after fighting that future Hall of Famer Ruiz.

Tank’s level of competition is truly amazing. Too bad that fat boy will always have Loma problems.

He's stopped 9 of his last 10 opponents.

Q: who else should he be fighting ?

Campbell is the No.2 Ring rated guy (Commey No.1), he got a gold at the Olympics, and took Linares to the trenches (who took Loma to the trenches), so why so dismissive of Campbell ? Loma wants to unify 135, and Campbell is in the way, I don't understand what else you expect Loma to do.

(1) Tank won't fight him, Mayweather came straight out and said that the big fights for Tank can be later on. What do you expect Loma to do about Tank exactly ? How could he make that fight all by himself ?

(2) Campbell/Commey - which one first doesn't really matter, but timing seems good if Loma can get Campbell now, as TR has co-promotional with Commey so should be the easier one to make - so take the harder one to arrange first if it can be made right ?

(3) Mikey - that ships sailed to 147.

(4) Berchelt - he's at 130 right now, and Loma is trying to unify 135 where Berchelt doesn't have a belt. Loma already said he would consider going to 130 after unifying at 135 if the fights are there, but he's on a mission at 135 right now. Unification is legacy.

(5) Teo - Teo doesn't have a belt and has self-admitted weight problems at 135. Why would Loma opt for a 21 year-old noob with weight issues over the legacy of unification ?

(6) going to 140 ? - business at 135, and I'm not sure his father (who calls the shots) would even let him go there while he remains small at 135 (he's already basically a 130 boxer fighting at the next weight class up).

ok, lets play a game, if you are Loma's promoter ,what would your advice to him be ?

Exactly, some of the hate for Loma is just rediculous. He's active and trying to unify the division, there should be more of it.

I think this will be a fun little fight. Huge fan of Loma and I like Campbell as well. I think this will be entertaining for however long it lasts. Campbell has a good boxing foundation and was a gold medalist as well.

Is there no one else? Loma needs a career defining fight, and it looks like both Mikey Garcia and Tank Davis are fleeting him.
