They tried to make this fight last year. Walters missed weight so Lomachenko said he didn't want to go up in weight. One year later, Walters looks mediocre and Lomachenko now is ready to go up and weight and make the fight. What are you not getting here? He didn't take the fight (turned it down in fact) when Walters looked good. Two mediocre performances laters and here we are talking about how the fight has been made.
What are you not getting here? Walters is the same Walters and everybody here on this board, except for you, seems to acknowledge that. Because there is no QUALITATIVE difference in walters as a fighter. Those "mediocre" (lol @ calling decisive wins over good SFWs mediocre) performances don't make him any less dangerous. He is still the same fighter and pretty much everybody realizes it. If Loma was really afraid of Walters, he wouldn't be fighting him still because Walters HAS NOT CHANGED. Loma could go up and face those guys and his preformances would likely decline proportionally as well. What you're trying to make this is Loma cherry picking easy, past prime opponents or shit fighters; except he's doing neither, because Walters is very much still in prime and far from a shit fighter. If anything, Walters looks more dangerous than ever because his power, size, chin, and strength have transitioned very well to a bigger division, whereas loma at 130 is still unproven.
what's important here isn't the performances against big 130ers, it's a given that a fighter looks a little worse when he goes up in weight, it's that Walters poses the same threat to Loma now as he did at 126. You're done nothing to refute that. If you think Walters has declined and that Loma is trying to cherry pick a past prime, declining fighter than say so. Except you don't think that. If you did, you would have said it outright. You're making a passive aggressive hiss at Loma because you have no valid criticism of Loma or this fight to make, but you don't like either Loma or Walters.
TLDR: this is the same fight as was on the table a year ago. Loma is taking it and you're trying to passive-aggresvely paint him out as a coward by pretending that less sensational (but equally impressive) performances against full blown 130s by Walters have made him decline. Again, if you think Walters has declined as a fighter and as a threat to Lomachenko, say so. Nobody else seems to think so, and TBH, I don't think you do either, you're just trying to pointlessly shit talk a fighter you don't like.
