    Is it possible for Loma to jump into the 147 division after his next fight?

    Still come in around 144< but the skills make the weight difference irrelevant?

    Is this a possibility?

    To fight and beat Crawford or Spence? No.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Henry Armstrong was world champ at 3 original weight divisions simultaneously. In today’s parlance that is 12 ‘world belts’. It’s nit unreasonable to suppose he could have won titles in the new divisions that now exist in between those original weight divisions.

    He was also robbed against Garcia for the undisputed middleweight title.

    Excuse my simplistic maths, which proves nothing of course, but that is 28 ‘world’ title belts in today’s money.

    A true all time great.

    It’s the biggest money grab/won’t be blamed for the loss bs. A great big man beats a great little man almost every time. Spence/ Garcia, brook/ggg, canelo/khan, all were talented smaller fighters in their primes whom lost to talented bigger fighters in their prime.

    Manny beat Oscar because he was weight drained/old. Floyd beat him because he was washed up. And both of them are generational fighters on top of that.

    Rigo vs loma is another perfect example. Two of arguably the most talented fighters to lace up boxing gloves, and the weight jump made it not even competitive.

    Kovalev is borderline washed up though. So Canelo has a great shot of winning.
