I think Berchelt is a much tougher fight for Loma than Linares.

I want both fights.

Berchelt with no questions.

Berchelt !! Hope this fight happen in 2018

There is only one competitive opponent for Loma - M. Garcia.

Definitely. Don't really see why fighting both opponents this year isn't doable.

Either works.

Berchelt is another one, though. Yes, Mikey Garcia is the bigger threat, but Berchelt is the second biggest one from 126-135 lbs.

I would prefer that Lomachenko fought Mikey Garcia or Manny Pacquiao. I like Berchelt and think he has a lot of potential, but at this point in his career, I don't think he should be fighting Lomachenko. I am quite confident that a 29-year-old Berchelt would beat a 26-year-old Lomachenko, but the advantage is the other way around, and I expect Lomachenko fans to acknowledge that. Berchelt deserves more time to mature before taking a fight of that caliber. Jorge Linares would not be a particularly impressive accomplishment for Lomachenko, but it's fine enough, since it would be his first time fighting at the weight.

linares would be one of the top recent wins around

and can guys onky fight if theyre the exact same age. betchelt has been pro for 8 years and going on 40 fights ffs. hes been in with world class comp. hes turning 27 not 17

'let em get old '

um, ya, loma and berchelt had totally comparable pro developement at 26, didnt they

what an age obessed simpleton you are. your also one of those ultra annoying ppl who go totally negative and do nothing more than poop on a fighter if other ppl are excited about them

'erm ya, linares, a top 2 lightweight, would be a nothing accomplishment, and it would be totally unfair to berchelt if they were to fight now. and oh ya if loma won it wouldnt count because berchelts turning to his late 20s, only got 40ish fights, 8 years pro,, and multiple fights vs world class opponents'

'fighters need to be the exact same age for a fight to mean anything'

I can not agree............
Again, there is noone except Mikey........

I don't think Linares would be a walk in the park. Berchelt either.

I dont want neither I actually think Linares loses to Gesta. I actually want Beltran to see if he's tough enough not to quit.

What's so hard in making the Berchelt/Lomachenko fight possible? These two guys are the #1 and #2 fighters at 130. Two alphabet titles, ring title, and lineal title on the light. Do the promoters not get along with each other?

Both fights sound good to me. I don't expect Loma to have issues with either opponent though.

Berchelt

Either one would be good.

I hope its not some fringe contender. Total missmatches are boring

Step down from the other two. Still better than some unknown contender.

Would be first common opponent with Crawford so there is that

Isn't Lomachenko moving to 135lbs?
