Will lomachenko get credit for beating lopez?

[BoomBapTrap]

I think he should. Beating a young hungry lion is always more impressive than beating a battle worn torn veteran.

Yep, just how PAC whooped Thurman.

At this point, boxers shouldn’t give a damn if fans give them credit or not. In the eyes of “fans”, everyone is a bum or a hype job, and there’s always a reason to diminish any accomplishment.

If it’s a good fight where both guys perform well, he gets credit for winning a good fight vs an opponent who performed well...simple as that.

How many times throughout boxing history has having one version of the title not equated to being top two in the division?

I’ll just say more often than not and leave it at that.

It means he is the champion and top two in the division.

If the rest are so good, why couldn't they take his title.

The rest have to put up or shut up.

They decide to play it safe, and you think that deserves respects??

I’d rate Loma if he beats Lopez. Lopez is fighting like a 130pound Naoya.

[Jsmooth9876]

the real funny sh88 is some of the same dudes who will say Loma should get no credit are the ones who say he's ducking Haney, a guy who has proven even less than Lopez.

This forum is full of halfwits and guys who DKSAB.

He should get credit and he absolutely will. Lopez has speed, power, and is hungry. IMO it’s going to take Loma everything he has to get passed Lopez.

Excellent. I agree. Green K.
I'm actually picking Lopez.

We saw what happened to Khan and Brook when they stepped out of their lane and Mikey Garcia ran just to survive. I also felt Canelo was going to lose if he couldn’t KO Kovalov.

People don’t see all of that, so he gets full credit for beating Rigo. Not point bring all of these into it now.

I remember Ward/Dawson, Mayweather/Canelo. I have both full credit, before they both signed to fight it was Ward is ducking Dawson, it was Mayweather is ducking Canelo, even when you point out the needling obvious.

So I don’t listen to aftermaths of all of these scenarios.

I’m over it because they will not fight in 2020 and probably 2021 IMO

I don't think Teofimo has faced a good swarmer like Loma before. If Teofimo continues to fight with his gard down, I predict he'll get pinged a lot more than he's used to.

That said if Loma can stop Teo in under 6, I'm not sure how much credit for being weak to Loma's style really earns Loma. If Teo last all 12 and makes it competitive, it will only prove to fully vet Teo.

At anyrate I also think Loma is a hype job. If Teo can land in between Loma's offense and he actually hurts Loma, I think this will only expose Loma for not being as great as every one is making him out to be. We've already seen Loma lose and get knocked down but we like to pretend like he is still the best thing since sliced bread.

Who isn’t fighting in 2020?
