Who was Lomanchenkos Biggest Rival Before Lopez?

[Mammoth]

It was Mikey Garcia

Tank is short but hes stocky like a slightly unfit version of Canelo. I think Tank causes Loma problems because Lomas biggest weakness is dynamic power punchers who can ko if they hit someone clean.(it's hard for Loma to outbox someone who potshots him with power like Tank can with the right gameplan, Tank can follow Teos gameplan & Loma will get gunshy)

Tank will not have the height/reach advantage Lopez had over Loma so a lot of what worked for Lopez won’t for Tank. Still I see it as a very competitive fight with no clear favorite.

That should be the next superfight,since Loma gots no other way to go & Tank sees weakness he might man up & tell his dad Floyd to make the damn fight. I think that would be the best fight for Loma to make & that will heighten his legacy more than Haney or Stevenson. Even though plenty of ppl don't rate Tank(I do) I think Tank is the marquee name Lomas been needing on his resume to truly arrive as a star(even though he lost he still has a lot to offer & has several matchups that would make shttons of money as well as greatly increase his standing)

Salido obviously. It's amazing he got a pass for his indifference about rematching him when he moved up to 130 and that was the best fight to be made, or not facing another champ like Berchelt in an intriguing matchup. Mikey at 135 could have been dangerously as well.

This is not true. Salido evaded all attempts to a rematch, asking for, and then turning down career high offers and then demanding completely impossible amounts, showing that he didn't want the fight.

It was all aired on BoxingScene long ago.
