    Ehhh, I'd stayed up until 8 in the morning for the Jeff Horn match, I was bleary eyed and basically starting to nod off, and before I get off her and go to sleep, I was greeted with his wonderfully charming posts, which I would have let slide, then he starts going after everyone else, and I knew he'd still be at it by the time I woke, so I remedied the problem, and saved you guys from the hassle of fighting with the headcase. So I dropped the hammer.

    LMFAO, isn't that Loma's 400+ match? There isn't much difference between olympic amateurs and pros other than rules. Anybody can become a pro. Lace gloves and get paid to be a punching bag. You actually have to prove you're the best of the best to become an Olympian. In fact, I would favor most olympians to beat non-champion pros of the same age. Enough of this Loma's 11th fight BS which isn't even true at "pro" level.

    Age is still the best measure. Tyson was a fricking HW champ at 20.

    If you start counting Loma’s 400 wins and one loss in the amateurs as part of his pro boxing resume, then this makes Loma even greater than he is now.

    No, the amateurs are not the pros, amateur matches have headgear and are 3 rounds. At best if you add in his WSB matches, it was his 17th. All of you need to get off that trope, amateurs are amateurs, pros are pros. There's a huge difference, just ask all the guys who were world class at one, like Mekhontsev, Shiming and Korobov, who **** the bed when they turned pro.

    I may have embellished a little. But the gist of it, I'm being completely serious. Mayweather is world class, amazing on every level, but he basically just fine tuned and cobbled together pre-existing styles. Loma made up his own.

    As far as the Salido loss, come on, it was his second fight, Salido is a hard out for most fighters, the man beat Guerrero and did remarkably well against Marquez, he was getting to Mikey before he pulled a quit job. Floyd would have gotten steamrolled by Siri in his second match, and you and everyone else on the site deep down know that as well. Only, I'm not all that sure Mayweather would right the ship in the second half and arguably sweep the last 6, and almost KO Salido in the last round.

    There are levels to pro boxing. EVERYONE knows this. The reason nobody cares about Canelo being 40-0 in his early 20s was because the pro village fighters in Latin America are basically amateur level. Same with Asia. They get paid so they're pro. Olympians are better than those "pros".

    Making up your own style doesn't mean squat, ahem Naseem. He was going through everybody then ran into a solid fundamentals fighter in Barrera. Does Loma really have his own style? We've seen pacquiao, at his best, have better footwork, dancing around the opponent, attacking from every angle. Everyone is fine tuning, cobbling some style.

    Mikey quit against a guy he knocked down FOUR times. Hokay. Everyone beats Floyd, we've heard this ad nauseum. Siri would have given Floyd a hard time though. He has that style that bothers the likes of Floyd and Loma. Steamrolled. Nah. Haters gonna hate.

    LMFAO, Hokay, what are you 12?

    When your made up style just beat a top P4P fighter that EVERYONE on this forum were in love with for half a decade due to his immaculate skillset, and not only beat him, but made it look easy. Means your made up style, is kind of unique and hard to get the timing of, hard to decode, much of boxing and most boxers success is based around understanding rhythm, and when you are faced with a rhythm you can properly assess or anticipate, it can throw you off entirely. Floyd had a hard time getting the rhythm of many far more rudimentary fighters than Loma, and in some cases his incredibly high ring IQ, it still took him 4 or 5 rounds to figure them out. Loa is one of those guys that Floyd would have a hello of a time figuring out, that should be obvious to most of you.

    Haters gonna hate???? Really? Kind of like you're hating on Loma... Right Hater?

    Not hating on Loma. He's my #1P4P fighter after Ward left. The discrediting of other fighters is what bothers me. Or arguments like 11th fight BS. Discrediting Rigo at 37 and moving up two divisions. I have no problem with calling the bull**** quit job though. You've been discrediting Floyd for how long now? I even said I saw Floyd vs Loma an even fight at 130.

    I'm not discrediting Floyd, I'm merely stating my opinion, Floyd's style wasn't all that original, Loma's is. Loma has a style that is unique compared to every other fighter in the history of the sport, occasionally that occurs. RJJ was one of a kind, Calzaghe was one of a kind. That doesn't mean every other fighter in the sport is **** because they didn't reinvent the wheel. Personally I think Mayweather would be beaten by Lomachenko, and not because Mayweather is trash, he's clearly the best of his generation. I just happen to think Loma presents to him a riddle that he wouldn't be able to solve... capiche? My original post on this thread, I was trolling a little, I amped up the hyperbole, that is all.

    Loma doesn't want that smoke from Spence, Thurman, or Porter lol smh.

    You are still arsehole sore from Andre Ward cracking that racist Kovalev's chin, and beating him into submission. That's a fact.

    Canelo dosn't cut off the ring like Bud, nor does he have his footwork or speed, nice try though. Zab was having success vs FMJ because of his slickness, Bud is Zab, with counter-punches plus bodyshots. I stick to my statement.

    Would TC beat FMJ at 140lbs using the same tactics?
