Do people still think Loma should go to 140?

    I want to see fair matchups. Not the circus shows with big size disparities. I think if Loms gets undisputed at 135, he should try to repeat the same at 130. It will be funny as h*ll, if once he'll drop back and start collecting belts there, Davis will run to 135.

Neither is the case for Loma right now, and honestly he's already fighting a good two divisions above what his ideal weight would probably be.
      He is definitely fighting above his weight compared to nearly every other fighters in the top 10 of any division.
      Besides Pacman of course.

        I think he should consider it. I am now at the point where i dont see anybody who can beat him below 140. I want him to clean up any belts or challenges that he wants between 126 and 135 but as far as i can see he is other than a shock KO he cant be beat.

        So the next real test, the challenge would be to try 140 but he will be very small at the weight whilst giving away god knows what in height and reach and power and strength. If he never touched 140 i wouldnt take anything away from him because of that but i would like to see if he could.

        In short id like him to give it a go but if he doesnt he doesnt he wont be tarnished by me for it thats for sure.

          Idk, Tank and Haney (with a bit more experience) are live dogs against Loma. They have the athleticism to give him fits I think. Commey also is no worse than the other lightweights Loma has fought so far and let's not forget that Mikey Garcia will probably be back soon. Plus Teofimo and Ryan Garcia may yet live up to the hype. There are a lot of good opponents for Loma as long as the politics can be negotiated

          Edit: Berchelt is good too although stylistically I don't really see him troubling Loma. That's up to seven interesting opponents for him at 135 or 130

            Seems like we all can agree 140 is too big...but why did yall get so upset about Paulie M. Comments about him going to 140.

            Its the truth if he moved up to 140 and looked stronger when he not that strong at 135, it would be su****ious

              You state a good case. I would of really liked to of seen the Mikey Garcia fight but im not as sure you are that he is going to drop back down as far as 135 but if he did then yes that is still a good fight i would like to see. And to be honest i also agree id happily watch Loma against literally all the names you just mentioned.

              Fair play, you got me considering my initial post now. But i do wonder how many of those names, which would make good fights, actually want to get in the ring with Loma. I know they will all say they will but will they?

                Don't bother arguing with him. He's an angry little troll.

                  He’s very strong at 135. If you can’t see that he’s hitting harder at 135 than he was in the lower weights I don’t know what to tell you. His issue is his style, he doesn’t deal with length well and guys will just get longer as he moves up, and there are also tougher guys up north to boot.

                      Go for 140 probably only for Manny Pacquiao. He said he can't be a superstar because he's not good in English. That's not true. Just like Errol and Crawford, what he needs is to fight Pacquiao, take that torch for a chance to become a superstar.
