    Now? Loma easy.

    Prime vs prime I'm still taking Loma, but good fight!

    I will never count out JMM. He is a master pugilist and the man can crack. His only deficit is age.

    JMM didn't compete at 130 for long, but his best win at the weight is superior to anything Lomachenko has done at the weight. It would be an interesting fight for sure.

    But at this point in time, based on his track record around that weight class, I'd have to favor Marquez.

    It's going to take a great counter puncher to beat someone of great talent like Loma. At 130 pounds, I'd give JMM a great shot it would be a 50/50 fight imo, because JMM was/is one of the best counter punchers in the history of boxing and his timing was impeccable. Great Fantasy fight though.

    I just get the feeling Lomo's athleticism would always be too much for Juan I know he has had an advisory with like athleticism but I think Lomo uses his in away that wont open himself up as Pac does....plus Lomo's defense is better too.

    Yeah, I also think Lomachenko uses his athleticism differently, in ways that can make him more successful for stretches than Pac was. Lomachenko is just a more intelligent more skilled fighter than Pacquiao. But he's also less athletic than Pacquiao, too, and he doesn't have the same type of explosive power, IMO. So in some areas I can see Lomachenko having more success than Pacquiao, but in other areas I believe Lomachenko would be more vulnerable to JMM as well.

    Marquez is notably stylistically disadvantage here. Marquez will be thoroughly outboxed.

    Marquez was a beast.

    The worst thing you can do is actually hurt him or bust him open.

    Loma would outbox him. Sure.

    But i would be not shocked if Marquez countered his ass all the way to a points win .

    I can see either man winning this fight .

    But if i had no choice and had to pick 1 fighter to win.

    I would choose Loma.

    Don't count on it. Marquez has had numerous battles with the most dangerous southpaw of his generation and held his own, eventually knocking his ass flat out. JMM knows what a well placed and timed right hand can do to a southpaw. He is not to played cheap.

    I like Lomachenko but he's had 2 fights at 130, 2.

    Loma would stop him, IMHO.

    JMM, as marvellous as he is, wouldn't win a round against the Loma that ruined Walters.

    I would have to see Loma in with a quality of Marquez, Morales or Barrera first. But there is none right now. Marquez hits in combinations and hits harder than Salido. He is a Mexican warrior like Salido. I mean Loma has only been feasting on Kneecans and Jaimacan tweaker..Too early to say.
