i want linares or berchelt

Those are the two most intriguing options I agree. Either them or Mikey Garcia.

Not seen Berchelt but Loma smokes Linares.

Berchalt is really the only credible opponent at super-feather.

Think he needs to move to lightweight. Easter Jr, Linares, Davis, Flanagan are all good fights at that weight.

Some boxers get very excited about minor accomplishments... They're not ready for the big time... Buster Douglas actually accomplished something major in the annals of Boxing... But you knew he wasn't ready for prime time by a long shot.

i feel like gamboa might be an opponent next year, for a non big fight. the alvarado win looks better now and on paper he did beat sosa. hes still got a bit of a name.

did loma say anything about whose necks

The "necks" will be Samuel Peter.

Garcia hopefully.

I think it can be Raymundo Beltran. He has a bout for the vacant WBO title on 3 February against unknown opponent in the event promoted by Top Rank. This is a good fight for Vasyl like title shot and adaptation in the new category before the fight against Mikey Garcia.

Mikey Garcia 135

Berchelt 130

Frampton 130

Pacquiao catch weight

Would love to see him smash Gervonta Davis.

Ehh, that's bullying right now. If you want to see Davis f'ed up, do it yourself.

I don't Lomachenko needs to chase a title at 135.
Any fight against the following would be impressive ...
Garcia, Easter Jr, Linares, Flanagan, Campbell, Davis, Commey, Beltran, Crolla, Verdejo

At 130, there's Berchelt, who I haven't seen or heard of, but record looks respectable.

At 126 (coming up to 130), there's ...
Santa Cruz , Russell Jr ...

It's whoever from that expansive list.
I'll favor him against everyone except Garcia,
and I'd have that like +110 Lomachenko.

135 could use a 4/8 man tourney.

Why is Arum pushing this stupid Beltran fight? Who wants to see Loma fight some 7 losses guy who lost to Crawford like 3 years ago.

Loma should make Arum get him the fights he wants at 130 like Berchelt, Machado, Ogawa...

Arum just wants to pocket all the money by putting only his fighters against each other, and Loma's resume is going to suffer because of this unfortunately....

Nobody cares if you beat a Raymundo Beltran after taking out Rigondeaux

ya agree. would prefer several guys over beltran. i guess hes a respectable lightweight but not exciting option at all. not a fighter that will do much for lomas standing.

Yea a Beltran fight would be sh*t

There's plenty of fights Lomachenko could take, I'd say Jorge Linares would be near the front of the line.

Actually, that'd be a great fight. Beltran is coming with some 1-hit KO's since he lost to Crawford (might be roided to the gills).

I'll say it again. Berchelt is probably the only one between 130-135 who would be an intriguing fight. Lomachenko pretty much beats Linares and everyone else at 135 lbs. pretty easily. 135 lbs. is super weak at the moment.

most ppl would rate jorge far hgher than beltran. resume wise much bigger for loma plus hes got a title and the ring belt.

I rate Linares higher than Beltran

Linares buys Lomachenko weight on the British scene.
Linares fought Crolla twice, Luke Campbell and Kevin Mitchell once.

Doing a quick one off ...
I could see it being an entertaining fight.
Styles match up the glamour it would sell.
