I think there's an acceptance by most that he stays and competes in a far from star studded SFW class.

Notice Arum has linked everyone of his prize stable with Pacquiao, because he can sell that and Manny could lose and not effect his earning power.
He never puts Crawford/Loma in the same sentence though, despite linking both with Manny
I did last night on Twitter, but obviously that's not here. And also that fact sucks.
As Roy Jones said Crawford has too big a frame to go down in weight and is headed toward 147 pounds.Crawford is a much larger human than Lomachenko not a really fair fight.

crawfords problems are the top 147 boxers such as spence, brook or thurman

loma should have his eyes on mickey garcia, rances, verdejo

I wasn't suggesting Crawford should be on Lomachekos radar.
Just thought it was telling, he can link both guys to Manny, the heaviest of the 3 but not to each other

I'm happy to see Loma strut his stuff at SFW for now

anything is possible, rare talents can do rare things.

in 2 years, when loma gains muscles in a natural way, without losing to much of his speed and condition, why not him at super lightweight against crawford. but right now it would be a big jump for loma to fight craw or pac. a litle bit surprised bob is suggesting this.

Pac is like 150ish for his fights at WW? He could easily do 135, not that I think that it's a good fight just that he could make LW without much problem.

He was 145 when he was fighting at 130 so it's not much of a stretch. Personally I would like to see Loma have a few more fights at 130 before the move up to 135. A unified title would be great, but he's not really that big for 130.

From a technical standpoint I would love to see Loma vs Rigo though they're too far apart in size now unfortunately.

Rigo is too small, Crawford is too huge. I wouldn't like to see Loma above 135, LW ought to be his limit. Can you imagine him fighting his compatriot Postol ? It would be too much.

I'd really like to see Lomachenko rematch with Salido. My first choice!

Crawford enters the ring at 158.. Loma comes into the ring at 137.. I think that fight is well in the future.. 2 or 3 years..

Right now Loma should KTFO of Salido in a massive revenge fight.. Then knock Vargas out... By that time Mikey Garcia will be hot again and he's one of the best in the world.. Loma should clean out 130... Clean out 135... and then do Pacquiao at 140 -- Crawford will be at 147 by that time because that's where all the action is going to be with Spence and Thurman... I47 would be the 5th Divisional Title for Loma in a few years.
