@danrafaelespn You're right, so let's just watch Lomachenko v Claudio Marrero in a tough fought 12 rounds, then continue the narrative why Lomachenko is the best boxer in the world.
@danrafaelespn then Campbell), LSC, Davis & of course Garcia. Fans grow impatient & frustrated (seen here) when we continue to see small named opponents when a sea of big names are out there, especially in their primes. We don’t care about promoters or the media pushing agendas.
@danrafaelespn Fighters shouldn't be judged as a ko fighter within the first 20 or so fights anyway *cough* “One Time”. Arum obviously has his prejudices. At the end of the day fight fans, especially casual, want to recognize names on a resume. Russell rematch (more $ & interest
@danrafaelespn e the sport, yet you use titles as an argument for ESPNs champ. Example, Arum once said that Loma should be compared to Ali not @floydmayweather due to Lomas tendency to ko his opponent. At the same amount of fights, Mayweather actually had the better ko% of the 3.
@danrafaelespn It’s the constant excuses for Lomas short comings & years of excuses against @floydmayweather successes (I’ll leave speculation out of this). Example, You have always been unapologetic about your views of the unimportance of all of these titles & the harm they caus
@danrafaelespn It’s not the loss, it’s the competitive fights against B class fighters. It’s the media (you included) blowing up the hype before the work has been put in to earn the accolades of P4P 1. Though I get after Mayweather & Wards retirement the field is more open.
@danrafaelespn Pacquiao... Hatton, after Mayweather knocked him out. DLH, after Mayweather, way shot out. Mosley, after Mayweather. Cotto, catch weight. His "154 title" fought at 150 to a guy who had no business ever getting to fight again. Maidana? Canelo? No. Rios, Horn and Algieri.
