    What should Loma’s next 3 fights be?

    In an ideal world I’d like to see him face Mikey or Tank but I just don’t think they’re realistic options.

    Realistically, I’d say Commey/Lopez winner, then Berchelt and Valdez at 130.

    Also, if he fights again this year, who’s available for Dec?

    Don't be so pessimistic. Tank and Mikey are the right fights to make and as fans, we should not accept a lot of BS excuses.

      Commey-Lopez winner for all the belts and if Loma wins, try and get a fight with Davis. After that, possibly a drop back to his natural weight at 130, fight the best guys available there and unify.

      Mikey and Pac are too big for Loma, those fights are pipe dreams.

        If Mikey can still make 135, and I think he can, that's no pipe dream. Loma would be giving up a lot of size but that goes for most at 135.

          Commey, Tank and then back to 130 for Berchelt.

            I don’t see them happening, so I ain’t getting my hopes up.

            Al and Bob ostensibly never collaborate, and I just don’t see Loma vs Mikey/Tank being big enough commercially to enable a working relationship between Arum and Haymon.

              Last I heard, Mikey wants 2 fights before the end of the year, a tune-up and a fight with Pac. Odds are he's staying at the 140-147 range.

                I also think he can still make 135 but I agree that it’s unlikely he fights below 140 anytime in the near future, or ever again for that matter.

                  Garcia can’t make 135, y’all act like he just put on weight and not muscle to fight Spence. Ain’t that easy to go back down after trying to bulk up. 140 seems right but he’s not going to fight Lomachenko because of that and because of top rank.

                    He could feasibly make 135...

                    Is it a wise move? Probably not.

                    Just look at Roy Jones...
