    Lol! Linares is not faster than Stevenson, and Stevenson would beat the fuck outta any version of Linares. He barely scraped by Campbell.

    If Loma is a class above Shakur, he's done little to prove it. He was supposedly a class above Fimo as well.

    One day, you're come to realize that you overrate Loma beyond belief.

    I wouldn't use Linares to prop up Lomachenko, especially after he lost to Cano in the first round, the same Cano that got stopped by a fat shot Morales

    Stevenson would destroy lomachenko, in a performance so tight they'll call it a Joe King

    :Jest: Linares is 100% faster than Stevenson. He still is today and he's slowed down.

    What's Stevenson done to show he's in Loma's class? Coz Loma's done a lot more than Stevenson. That's for sure.

    You massively underrate him for whatever weird reason.

    I don’t think Linares is all that fast. He’s not slow by any means, but faster than Shakur??? I’m not so sure .

    Linares isn’t a guy that comes to mind when I think of FAST.

    I rate Loma as one of the 10 best fighters in the world, which is fair. Stevenson now is also one of the 10 best fighters in the world.

    Loma has done NOTHING in recent years to separate himself in class from Shakur. Its almost as if losing 8-4 to Fimo has gotten swept under the rug.

    He would struggle mighty with the fact that Shakur is more rangy, has comparable quickness, and is stronger.

    And for all we know, Shakur probably has more intangibles too.

    If i were lomachenkos team i would press for the fight with stevenson at 130lbs. at 135 he is at a bigger disadvantage.

    Agreed. I think Shakur has outgrown 130.

    He'll be sharper at 135.

    Loma better hop on Shakur NOW. He's in his mid 30s while Shakur is 24. The time for Loma to beat Shakur is 2022.

    By 2023-2024, he'll get his ass kicked badly.

    Loma isn't getting any younger and sooner or later he will run into a brick wall once he starts slowing down. His best chance to beat Stevenson is within 2 years.

    It does suck that Loma's too busy fighting for his country. I really think he should do what Usyk is doing right now and train for an upcoming fight. I don't even think Loma is within range of combat.

    Would really like to see this fight happen sometime next year. I’m starting to think that this could be a much more competitive fight.

    He isnt doing shit in Ukraine. He'd be better off and fighting in the ring and donating his purses to the country, yiu know, save the American taxpayers a few million.

    Loma aint fighting shit except boredom and his weight right now.

    That was one of the most 6-5-1 "8-4" fights ever.

    Yeah I personally doubt that Loma is on the frontlines firing and ducking bullets.

    I'm telling you boredom and weight are his biggest problems right now. Hes as close to the action as Usyk is....not very. It's all a facade.

    These 2 need to face each other next year. Stevenson said that he can no longer make 130 so he will have to go up to 135. Haney is still the undisputed champ at 135 and Stevenson will want to challenge him at some point. Make it happen.

    Haney may be a much more difficult fight for Stevenson this time around.
