Based on his 2 fights in 135 I think Loma tops out as an elite fighter at 135. At 140 he would be still good but would get beat by the elite.

I've been on some fukk HBO shyt for minute because of the damage they've done to the sport.
But gotdamn this shyt got to me
Agreed
I think the cats at 140 will be physically too strong and they seem skilled as well. I think a guy like Hooker might give Loma a tough outing. Taylor n Prograis prolly beat Loma tho.

Could Shavers be a significant champ of this HW era like Wilder is?
If we are already here what yall think of a Shavers vs Wilder mythical matchup?

Lomachenko-Pedraza Rating Looking Big For ESPN
Last night, Top Rank on ESPN (9:12 p.m. ET to 12:35 a.m. ET.) witnessed Vasiliy Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs), the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world (according to ESPN.com ranking), accomplish another career highlight.
In front of a sold-out crowd, Lomachenko went on to defeat Jose Pedraza (25-2, 12 KOs), by unanimous decision, and unify two lightweight world titles in the main event of the Top Rank on ESPN card at The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The overall event delivered a 1.4 metered market rating according to Nielsen, making it the second highest-rated boxing telecast in 2018 across all broadcast and cable networks, only behind Crawford-Benavidez on ESPN in October 2018.

The co-main event and special feature bout that opened the telecast also performed well for Top Rank on ESPN, scoring a 1.4 and 1.2 metered market ratings, respectively. Including the main event, these fights are three of the top five fights on cable in 2018. The co-main saw challenger Emanuel Navarrete (26-1, 22 KOs) defeat Isaac Dogboe (20-1, 14 KOs) to win, via unanimous decision, the WBO junior featherweight world title. But it was Top Rank’s rising star and 2016 Olympian, Teofimo Lopez (11-0, 9 KOs), who astonished the crowd by putting on a show against Mason Menard (34-4, 24 KOs), knocking him out just 44 seconds into the opening round.
Main Things to Know
Last night’s entire Top Rank on ESPN telecast averaged a 1.4 metered market rating, making it the second highest-rated boxing telecast in 2018 across all broadcast and cable networks, behind Crawford vs Benavidez Jr. on ESPN in October 2018.
Lomachenko-Pedraza main event averaged a 1.5 metered market rating, making it the second highest-rated boxing match on cable in 2018, behind Crawford vs Benavidez Jr. on ESPN in October 2018.
Dogboe vs Navarrete and Lopez vs Menard averaged a 1.4 and 1.2 metered market rating, respectively. Including the main event, these fights are now three of the top five fights on cable in 2018.

Although not so relevant in US/Europe landscape I would also add the 2 big card in Tokyo (12/30) and Macau (12/31) which will be quite big in Asia I think.

Don't think Wilder could take a blow from Shavers but Wilder could win if he uses his reach.

I heard that from someone I trust
I believe someone told you that, but I'm not buying it as being true. He doesn't show any hint.
Even a tiny bit would be pretty obvious.
