Mikey will probably go his entire career with no 50-50 fights. It kills me he's about to go to 140 and snatch an easy belt and have the claim he's a "multi weight 'champion'" like Broner and Guerrero. Wouldn't be surprised if he retires soon again. i'm saying this as a fan of the cat.

I can imagine Loma really struggling with that physicality - it makes a difference. I can see Mikey putting Loma under a lot of pressure, and getting pressured by a technical guy like that is the worst kind of pressure.
Regarding Mikey. Mikey is not a pressure fighter. He's a technical boxer who really excels when the fight is brought to him so he can counter and pick the opponent off. His feet are slow and he'd struggle with a target that's not there and with the angles. Loma isn't a runner but he has the feet to always keep him off balance and enough for Mikey not to get set. Mikey as a pressure fighter may leave too many holes and get picked off himself. Given the rate at which Loma has learned and his adaptability I just view it as a bad match for Mikey whichever way he fights.
I don't think he'd quit or nothing but feel he'd lose comfortably on points like 117-111 or even 118-110.

Originally posted by chrisJS View PostI think Salido would get crushed now. Loma is a dramatically improved and more experienced fighter. It's amazing how that happens in Boxing. I don't think he'd let an opponent not bother making weight by 3-4 lbs then foul around 100 times and he also has gotten used to the pro's so no need for a nervous start or pacing himself.
I'd say under 147 nobody really poses a threat. Mikey is a top 10 pound for pound fighter but Loma's style is all wrong for him and he'd drop a wide UD. I was right on the Walters, Rigo and Russell fights almost to a T. I'm right again here.

His 135 was an interim so maybe he'll try to come down for a lightweight title at some point if he wants a real title at the weight but I suspect he had his eyes more on Easter than anything else.

I want to see Loma undisputed at 130 and 135 if the tile holders at those divisions have the balls to fight him. I still give Loma edge vs Mikey at 140.

Originally posted by considerthis View Postindeed...doesn't mean haters don't need to be called on it. the hypocrisy you pointed out goes both ways too.
ive been a boxing fan for awhile...ive been on boxing message boards for awhile.....floyds career spawned a war between races that will probably now go on for years on the internet...maybe even decades
it would be nice if everyone started with a blank slate and everyone gave every guy a chance.....but now if you bag on golovkin(even though ur white urself and dont bash loma or kovalev) you automatically are labeled as having an "agenda" ...when in fact he just hasnt impressed you
it actually amazes me that some people cant even, for a second, fathom why someone might question or knock golovkin...some guys are so far up some guys arses they cant concede an inch
