Lomachenko has a much higher I.Q. than Mayweather in ring and out. He is like a modern computer while Mayweather is like a Fisher Price toy that makes barnyard animal noises.
who knows who could solve it. If Floyd is faster than Lomo he would win. If Lomo is faster he would. This is about speed. Sugar Ray Leonard when he fought his fight he won fights. Yet Hearns was just as fast delivering punches, yet he did not have the combinations of Ray, but he delivered just as fast so Ray had trouble with it.
Based on what? He couldn't even figure out Salido FFS. PBF worte the book on boxing and has fought through 5 weight classes and faced and beat all styles.
Placing a little too much stock into a fighters 2nd pro fight? When you broke down JMM's career you didn't even bring up his debut loss. It was completely omitted entirely from your breakdown of his career. Not a word was said on it. Floyd Mayweather was a very talented fighter who possesses a size, reach and power advantage over Lomachenko. But at 130 pounds Lomachenko is the more technically skilled fighter. Mayweather's skills weren't complete until around 2005.
He's one of the few I'd give a chance at solving it. I rate both Floyd and Loma high as hell H2H at 130. That would've been the dream fight people were hoping for with Rigo.
Floyd Mayweather struggled in his 2nd pro fight and squeaked out a decision win over Reggie Sanders. That version of Mayweather in his 2nd pro fight would most likely get absolutely wrecked by a top level pressure fighter. I mean a prime Mayweather struggled against Castillo which there is no shame in. How do you a think a very, very inexperienced Mayweather fares against a quality pressure fighter? He gets wrecked.
You have a point there. Not denying it that Loma came into the pro ranks much older and polished than Floyd. But I can't say that a fighter in his 2nd pro fight has adapted to the pro ranks. The amateurs is a 4 round slapfest. The pro ranks is 12 rounds of pain and hard punching. It's a different style.
Those guys are lunatics H2H at the weight. I wouldn't bet on it at all. If I was going to edge towards Loma, it'd be by a percent or two, and that would be more because of the southpaw stance and unorthodox approach than anything. Floyd was a monster at 130.
