Prove yourself, Lomachenko

[BoxingIsGreat]

everyone who is calling for Loma-Bud is crazy. Why not calling for Bud-Canelo?

I like to see that one! Crawford ain't that small.

Come on man, not everyone is a Pacquiao. Weight limits are there for a reason. more so for health purposes

Then why does he have to move up an extra two weight classes to prove himself? Are you saying there are no challenges for him where he's at? He's already moved up to 135 from 126, and he looks rather small compared to other lightweights.

Garcia moved up to 147 and looked like crap. He didn't "dare to be great", he just wanted a career pay day.

what you implied is that i said he had to move up two classes...i didnt....or that he had to fight crawford...i didnt...go back and look at what i said again

all im saying is if there were a good, dangerous, 140lb fight that was too risky his fans would still claim "hes small..thats his limit...he wants to stay and dominate the division and thats fine and ok"....

he still has some good fights he can make with davis, lopez and maybe haney.....so im not saying he has to....but if there were a good 140lb fight while he was waiting for something its something he should try....but the same group that would excuse him from fighting someone llike say prograis was the same group saying floyd was a poosy for not fighting golovkin

True. However Loma is the one talking about how he's going to be the best ever. Let's not forget how much he talks himself up. And I still sorta hold it against him ducking the option to fight Pac. Prove it.

Bro he has already moved up a couple times I think? I think it is pretty clear that at 135 he is reaching his limit...he is having tough fights with guys who at 130 he was dominating.

I don't know what his career will hold but he isn't some young guy who started at the lower weights...he may have reached his weight limit already...expecting him to move up the weights like Crawford/Floyd/Pac I mean he is just a smaller guy, I think that is pretty apparent.

He seems to say he is focused on his legacy though so I would expect him to try something great if he really means that...we will see how it goes.

im not suggest he go 147 or fight crawford...thats nuts imo

but if a dangerous 140lb fight, like maybe prograis, was there i know a certain group would be ok with him bypassing anything of the sort calliing him small and making excuses..."he has limits"...but theyd call mayweather names for not fighting golovkin

loma has some good fights he can still make with davis, lopez and haney...so im cool with that...but if he has to wait too long on them he needs to try to do something special instead of waiting.....before we have to hear about how certain guys "waited him out and waited him for him to get old"

golovkin stalled his career for years waiting on a kid....hate to see loma do it too

does it take climbing 8 weights to become the best? He is already fighting at his near maximum. Look how much bigger Campbell looked next to Loma.

You kidding? Loma gained more respect for not fighting Pac. He said loud and clear that there was no achievement/credit in beating old Pacquaio and he was 100% right. It would have been a lose-lose fight for him no matter the outcome.

That's what excuses reads like.

[Ajvar]

...I'm not really impressed with him fighting trash like Campbell, Crolla, Pedraza and Linares recently...
I have a proposal. How about going up in weight and fighting Crawford?

Why exactly going UP? Heh? If you clearly don't give any credit about weight difference discrediting his wins like he was of same size there and only counting names then why shouldn't he go DOWN in weight and kill Berchelt, Farmer, Herring, Leo Santa Cruz, GRJ???

OH, but you mentioned Rigo being too small... maybe because you do credit weight difference but only not for Loma? Like when he lost to overweight Salido?

[boxinggod101]

I don't think he is man enough to move up and fight Crawford, but... If he does. And if he loses. I will still respect him for trying.

Whats your thought on Crawford garbage resume?

Stop it... The real reason he didnt fight Manny wasnt cause Manny is too old. Manny is still one of the top fighter in the sport. He should have just said, Manny is too big. That too old excuse is pure BS... and Im a Loma fan
