Loma’s purse will also be significantly bigger than Lopez’s. They’re not big sales gate guys. ESPN and Top Rank are taking drastic measure to please it’s boxing fans on that platform. That’s the circumstance. Lomachenko fought ATG Crolla last... canelo just fought Kovalev last... we all know Crolla is levels above elite than Krusher. In fact Crolla was P4P #2 at one point. God forbid Loma has to fight Lopez from Crolla.
    He fought Campbell last...

      Every fighter should be allowed at least 1 Soft Touch to shake off Rust or whatever after this damn Pandemic. Also to buy some time and hope this Pandemic goes away soon so that when they make big fights fans can at least ATTEND and the big fights are actually done in front of a CROWD!

        Canelo fought the #3 middleweight in the world to unify titles followed by the #2 lhw in 2019. If anyone deserves a stay busy fight it's him.

        I would prefer he fight a champion at 168, but as you all know it has been difficult with the current situation and fighters pricing themselves out.

        Still a better opponent than Szeremeta and Steve Rolls though, let's be honest.

          Honestly give me Canelo vs Ryder any day of the week and twice Sundays rather than Lemieux, but we probably better face the reality that Canelo - Lemieux will happen sooner or later. Maybe best to get it out of the way now.

          EDIT: Ha ha, forgot David was scheduled to fight Ryder last year, not a bad fight that, I'd have fancied John there although Lemieuxs always gonna be dangerous.

              Canelo’s last 4 fights had to 2 P4P fighters.

              Loma’s last 4 fights, no P4P fighters.

              Do you think Loma is #1 P4P, or does Canelo make sense?

                Who was the other P4P fighter other than Golovkin, or are you counting him twice? I don't have Loma, Canelo, Crawford or whoever #1 because I really don't care about these artificial rankings.

                  Lemieux is decent but he’s tailor made for Canelo.

                    I was gonna have a few quid on John, just worries whether he’d walk into that left hook.

                    He’d definitely outbox Lemieux, was just worried he might get clipped like he did against Blackwell.
