Is a fight between Loma and Crawford a possibility?

I don´t think so. Crawford just went to welterweight, which is 3 weight divisions higher than Loma. Everything is possible, but if they cannot generate dozens of millions, they won´t fight each other IMO

Definitely not in the near future.

No chance. Crawford is way too big.

Crawford is too big to make the fight

Good thing for Loma.

In boxing close to anything is possible. Manny climbed from minimumweight to light middleweight. Loma could end up at 147. Even if he losses, which could likly happen since he would climb 3 divisions, doesnt mean anything.

THE CHALLENGE THE GLORY
THE ACTION THE MONEY

This is what it comes down to and not if you won or lost a fight.

I think Crawford may stop at 147.
Or at least stay for a while unless some great opportunity opens up at 154.

Maybe Lomachenko/Crawford in 2020/2021.

I think tc gets wrecked at 147. No way that skinny guy goes to 154 would get crushed

Good thing for Crawford he's not a Super Featherweight... Lomachenko is small even for 130... Rigondeaux actually looked thicker through the chest and arms so I think Loma would have stayed at 126 if he could get anyone there to fight him... A God send was Rocky Martinez willing to fight him after Rocky beat the crap out of Salido... He got ripped out and made Lomachenko a 2-Division World Champion with only 7 pro fights... Now Loma needs to make the Garcia fight happen at 135 and eventually clean out that division... 140 is next... then 147. where there's a lot of good young fighters.

You can't take a skinny body from 126 to 147 in 3 or 4 years... That takes several more years -- like maybe when he's 34...

I'm guessing Loma walks around in the 140's when not training. Him fighting at 140 is not out of the question, but 147 there are several guys that will KO him. Even Amir Khan would clown him, as much as I hate to say it.

Crawford's weight ceiling should be 147. He has the skills to compete at 154, but he would be giving up a lot, and taking too much un-needed risk.

I'm not one for fantasy fights, but if Pacquiao was in his prime at 130 or 135, him vs Loma would be classic. I think Floyd would beat Loma fairly easily due to his style, height, and reach advantage. Floyd totally shut out JMM, who was pfp#2 at the time due to those same advantages. JMM complained about the weight at the time, but later admitted it was Floyd's style and skill that were the difference, and didn't want a rematch.
