    There's nothing wrong with a fighter knowing their limits. He's already considered to be an excellent fighter without having to resort to suicide missions (ala Garcia/Spence). If he could get the likes of Berchelt/Davis/Garcia in the ring, there would be no need to even talk about him moving up.

      The exact opposite is true. He is a 126 to 130 pound boxer who is too small for 135 and outweighed on night by every opponent. If he was a 140 pound boxer he could never have been a 126 pound champion in his late 20s when men are all done growing. Crawford is a full welterweight who weighs a hard 157 pounds on fight night. He would outweigh Loma by almost 20 pounds. Loma would have to be ****** to fight Crawford and you shouldn't ask him to do so. He is a natural 126-130 pound boxer who is beating all the bigger lightweights and that's great enough. Where do you get the idea he is a 140 pounder???????

        Quit pushing your fighter to beat the hated Eastern European. Haney hasn't done a damn thing to suggest he would beat Loma. He is ranked 14th by boxrec. He is on nobody's pfp best list except yours. Loma is fearless and will fight any lightweight and he would be a big betting favorite to beat Haney. You have this hate for excellent Eastern European boxers like Loma and GGG and it shows in the way you talk about them. Haney is a good fighter but Loma is NOT ducking him.

          Because 130 is his best fighting weight and he can be at his best at that weight. It's not being great to fight in a weight class you don't belong in, It's ******. He is better off to be a great 130 pound boxer than to fight much bigger men at 140 and maybe lose to a boxer not as good as him but much bigger. Greatness is about winning fights and making the most of your natural size and abilities. Fighting in a weight class you don't belong in and losing isn't great. It's ******. It hurt Donaire and Gonzalez and now so many want Loma to make the same mistake they made by fighting way over their best weight. Loma says 130 is his most comfortable weight and 135 is his ceiling. Fans should respect that and not demand he go higher until it gets him beat.

            140 fighter? He walks at around 140. He barely rehydrates after 135. Guys making 140 walk at around 155.

              Arum already said they aren't fighting Haney. He said that in July. He said he wanted Loma to become Franchise Champ to avoid that fight. Since that isn't happening he's moving Loma out of the weight class completely.

                Fuc your damn Haney. His accomplishments are like a drop in a bucket compared to Loma's accomplishments of beating champion after champion in 3 weight classes. Who is the best guy Haney ever beat and why would Loma fear him? He has yet to win his first world title and Loma has already won so many world titles. Wait until Haney has actually done something noteworthy before saying Loma is ducking him.

                  Loma isnt going to chase Tank , Arum probably will never even sign off in that fight.

                  I like how in your mind Tank is this International Super Star,

                  You have more faith in his star making capabilities then Ellerebe

                    He's not a 140 lb fighter and he's not fighting at 130. How did you screw it up so badly with so little words?

                      OK? But the current 140 Champs: Ramirez, Taylor, Prograis likely walk around even bigger than that

                      Weight Classes are made for a reason and fighters need to stick to their proper ones and know their limits and for Loma I think 135 is his Limit
