    That isn't what is happening. Loma isn't waiting for people to come to him.

    He is actively hunting belts. If you have a belt, you are in his crosshairs. That isn't a passive approach.

    He is going to unify lightweight and become undisputed there - doing it the hard way by picking up the belts one by one (not just beating an already unified champ). That's a hell of an achievement, especially because he is already fighting at a jumped up weight class.

    Then he is going to do the same thing at 130.

    As a Loma fan, I'm perfectly fine with that plan. It's ambitious. Unifying multiple divisions is chasing greatness.

    It means that anyone who wants to fight him knows what to do - grab a belt. Loma will come knocking.

        Loma is scared. Stop bothering him already. He turned down the fight multiple times. Doesn't want the smoke. Leave him be

            What said and done are two very different things
            Anyway I wouldn’t wanna see it as I believe he would be totally drained
            PAC walks around 140lbs...
            On lightweight he just needs to go down a little bit

              Loma has always said 135 is his limit and his natural division is 130.

              If Pac wants to come down to 135 from 147 for Loma that prove a lot more for Pac than Loma, thats a goat move. But if he comes down looks drained and gets beaten who wants to see that, Loma would get little credit.

              Neither have expressed interest in the fight that I have seen.

                  All credit to him, he's doing his thing in his weight class but he, and the rest of the world, knows that he's a special fighter that can fight outside of his weight class. He doesn't need to unify. He needs legacy fights. His first loss burnt him so much that he or his team doubts what he could do above 135. He could fight and win at 147 if he wanted to against B level guys like Danny Garcia (who lost to a scrappy Herrera.

                    multiple PAC interviews on youtube, no prob in 135... he walks around 140... the guy is only 5'5... Imagine if Pac is same size as floyd, he probably dominate the Lightheavyweight division.
