    I don’t think Floyd would have any success against Loma at any weight. He just has a style that is too easy for Lomachenko to work with. There are fighters on Floyd’s record who would have a lot more success against Lomachenko.

    Floyd wins. Y'all will look silly when Lomas career unravels.

    135 was the weight that Castillo beat him in their first fight. Or at least that’s what the vast majority of people feel. VAST majority. Lol

    Loma does things floyd only dreams about. Put it this way Floyd has been overrated his whole career and unofficially lost to Marcos maidana of all people. He should at least have atleast three loses on his record not mentioning the loses in the amateurs.

    The thing is Loma overwhelms guys with his pressure, rhythm, angles and the pace he sets off the bat. The pace level doesn't go down much at all if not at all. You take that away from him then he's yours. This might not be a popular opinion but i think Mayweather is the more precise puncher, and he's also bigger and faster. Loma is about 5'6'' and Mayweather is 5'8'' with a reach advantage.

    Mayweather would be pushed hard pace wise and hardest he'd probably ever be pushed but he wins with his jab, movement, timing and clinching effectively. You also have to make him know you're the bigger man. He'd have to come out throwing and make it a dog fight.

    The way i see Lomachenko winning is doing the same he always does and making himself harder to read and using his southpaw advantage to take the jab away. Mayweather's roll counter wouldn't work with Lomachenko. His pressure alone could be enough to beat Mayweather.


    I could see Loma winning and i could see Mayweather winning. I can't envision it being an easy fight for Floyd at all, though. There's no such thing as a perfect, unreadable fighter.

    Idiot. Bernard Hopkins and JMM lost their debut fight. Monzon racked up losses early in his career. Plenty of great fighters have lost in their first few career fights.

    Do you even listen to the BS you type on this board? Before you write something and hit "post reply" can you think about what you say?

    You act like Castillo was some kind of slouch, Castillo would probably knock Loma's ass out too.

    Floyd nearly lost to Reggie Sanders his 2nd pro fight., he went life and death with Sanders and was a few punches away from taking a decision loss. Reggie Sanders is like 10-40 in his career. So yes you are correct about that. The other guy is just a ****ing moron.

    Castillo was repeatedly knocked out in his prime fighting for National Mexican Titles against domestic level competition. He was good, but lets calm down here and stop acting like he was Erik Morales or JCC.
