It’s how you diminish everything, doesn’t matter what you do if you tear it down before it’s done. I mean, let’s look at recent history, have fighters had great success jumping 2 divisions? No. Were these really good fighters trying it? Yes. So maybe it’s hard. So what Sergei is a chump? No.

I hate Canelo, I don’t even like the idea of him fighting Kovalev. I want him to fight Charlo, fight Andrade, fight BJS FFS. Fight the guys at 160. But my hatred for Canelo isn’t going to make me ignore he has fought really good fighters. That is what we should want from fighters.

So Canelo has had advantages, what about Loma fighting Walters in a desperate situation, fighting Rigo in s desperate situation. That doesn’t get talked about. So the difference between the 2 is a Canelo has fought the better fighters and is currently fighting champions. Not Pedraza’s, not Crolla’s, not Campbell’s. But Canelo gets torn down while Loma is just the best because he looks like it. Nobody cares Berchelt has called him out for years. Nobody cares people at TR were quite open that Bob would never let him fight Mikey. Not a damn peep for one guy. It’d be fine if people would just admit the double standard. The elephant is on its hind legs breaking the chandelier, acknowledge it.
I have always had problems with Loma and his competition which is why I rate Crawford above him. One thing I will say is that Loma hasn’t had the quality around him that Canelo has. Lightweight is already a big weight class for him. I honestly wish he would go down a weight and fight Berchelt and Davis. Although he has called out Davis before but Davis didn’t want it.
At the 30 day weigh in Loma was 144.5. He’s not small at LW. The idea he is is not supported by the facts. I get the thought but the facts disagree with the thought.

I remember seeing Crawford, Loma and Rigo together. Loma was much closer to Crawford’s size than Rigo was to his. You can find that easy enough, I just can’t post pictures on this site for some reason or I’d post it for ya
