You don't think Teofimo can do better than Luke Campbell???

Don�t listen to them, they will disappear after they witness Loma gets carried out on a stretcher!

Lol it not gonna be lopez the one that does that

Havent been this excited for a fight for a loong time now.

Campbell is a better boxer then Lopez IMO, taller has a better boxing resume and more experienced.

Campbell was 31 when him and Loma fought, and he had the strength of a man, Lopez is still developing.

You've been making a lot of sensible posts here lately. I agree with your 3 points here too, but with this caveat...

I wanted this fight to happen before Lomachenko became another year older. The sooner this bout was to happen, the better.
Actually same thing with Tank, Haney, and Garcia. I realize he can only fight one guy at a time, but sooner the better.
It may generally taste a little bit better, but I'm really not much for marinating.

No fan ever is for marinating. It�s the aftermath that sucks. �They should�ve waited?.�Too soon?..the hindsight bias kicks in by the majority of fans. And then Lomachenko is left with little credit for the win once everything settles a month or two later. Especially after Lopez tastes defeat a few more times and the win diminishes from little credit to nothing.

Almost every fight is like this. Hype, excitement, �best time for it? best fighting the best, wooo! �He�s a classic fighter!? Yep, then it kicks in after the wide decision. The hindsight bias, it�s still undefeated. It�s not that the hindsight comments are wrong, it�s that it took for the action to happen for people to think logically. The logical posts pop up, only using logic AFTER the fact, not before (that is with everything in life). Sh/t if everyone thought before taking an action, everyone�s timeline�s would be closer to perfect wouldn�t it?

Boxing fans are very fickle though. I�m used it. We all know how piss poor the championship titles are in boxing, with multiple champions. Then say �He�s a champion tho? �He won a title...he�s ready?..�Titles don�t mean anything anymore...but he won one of them, he�s ready for the best...? Lol, if the shoe fits...

I hear ya. You can't make everybody happy, and someone will always have a complaint.
As you can see with Loma critics, he gets painted into a no-win situation. If he dominates Lopez, there will be those that say he was too green and needed more experience, hence taking credit away from the win. Then again, if Lopez is allowed a couple more fights before Loma, that opens up another can of worms - - > "Loma got old" , "Teo waited him out", "They should have fought sooner", etc etc.

That's really my main point. If this fight were to be postponed, we'll never know what a prime Lomachenko would have looked like vs Lopez. I say take it ASAP, and maybe still leave some time for Haney, Tank, and Garcia before the decline.
Maybe you are worried that people will say, "Oh, Teo needed more experience, he had no chance, the fight was rushed" etc etc. That doesn't really concern me. If Teofimo is legit a star, he will regain the title. Maybe he needs this fight now in order to become great. So many possibilities, and people just like to talk..

It's virtually impossible to please everybody with the timing of fights. With the talent at 135, I'm sure we have opportunity to see a more experienced Haney or Garcia in with Loma. IMO, Loma beats them all in his prime. The deciding factor in Loma's next loss will be his age. If he loses, it's only because his body betrayed him. Just my opinion.

Peace.
