Question about our new “4 Kings” of Lightweight

[GhostofDempsey]

Lopez is the only proven one on that list. Loma is still the #2 at 135 until the others step up and beat someone.

4 kings my azz. 4 court jesters. 1 of them can't stay off social media, but claims he has mental health issues,. One of them just jumps from weight class to weight class cherry picking opponents for fake belts. One of them thinks he's a ppv star outpricing himself from fights when in reality, he couldn't fill a corner store with fans on his own block for a fight. One guy claims he's seeking the top fights,(and 3 in that division have actually turned down the fights with him), but normally lets his dad and promoter talk for him as he's comfortable with bs mandatories. I'm tired of that whole division of bs.

[buddyr]

You’re not wrong.

There’s only three elite fighters at 135. Lopez, Loma and Tank- although even Tank needs to start fighting better comp.

Haney and Garcia ain’t on that level. They’ve got two semi-decent wins between them and in those fights Haney got badly shook by a way past prime Linares and Garcia got dropped by Luke Campbell who was on the verge of retirement. They both have a long way to go before we consider them top class fighters.

That's NEVER gonna happen in our lifetime.

[real raw]

The Four Kings all fought each other and that’s what made that era so special, these four queens just talk about fighting one another. They’re nowhere near comparable to the real Four Kings. The closest thing to the Four Kings in the modern era was Pacquiao, Marquez, Barrera and Morales, especially when you look at the volume and quality of the fights they had.

Couldn't have said it better

I just want you all to provide your prospective on what are being called the 4 Kings of current in no order;
Devin Haney
Gervonta Davis
Teofimo Lopez
Ryan Garcia

Why is Ryan there? Like him or not Loma should be in the crowd of the 4 with Ryan out. I understand we have plenty of haters about different ones, but he and Teo fought, Teo won. That should be the beginning of this loose tournament group.Loma also has the will to want to rematch: isn’t this what our Past Kings did?
Why should we allow Social Media following to dictate a placement in history?
We need these warriors to cross paths and I do not see Ryan doing anything but side stepping. Mental Health is a serious condition as I struggle myself, but that is no reason to categorize him with the others, hell there is no normal.
Apologies on the rant….was just thinking of the situation.
Feedback and opinions welcome. Let’s keep it clean Gentlemen!

Loma is the best of them all, but I understand someone doesn't want a rematch cause he knows he will loose and the others don't even dare mention him and are just waiting for Father Time to save them.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Lopez and Loma are the only proven fighters there. Others still must step up.

[DaNeutral.]

Loma isn't American and only Americans call them the 4 Kings and if a man isn't an American then in the eyes of Americans he is only half a man.

[ShoulderRoll]

Ryan Garcia did knock out Luke Campbell, which Lomachenko couldn't do.

So there's that.

But all of these guys need to fight each other in order to be deserving of the 4 Kings moniker.

[El_Mero]

At this point, they, especially Ryan who shouldnt be in that convo, are the 4 princesses. And Loma should be included in any lightweight convo. HOPEFULLY in '22 these 5 fight eachother. Im not holding my breath though.

Very true!
