    As a joke what would actually happen? I presume Valuev would find it almost impossible to land a jab or power shot that low down against someone that mobile? Loma could Jab his gut for 12 rounds and win a UD without being touched once.

    Disagree, Horn is unbelievably terrible for a belt holder. Loma tools him.

    Loma hasn't the frame of Garcia or even Linares, hes tiny. He wont climb any higher than 140 or its suicide. I think 140 is too much for him, 147 he will never be able to do anything.

    Pac was 150 (or close to it), Loma is only 138.
    Loma would have to increase his muscle mass, and quite a bit so.

    Right now, Lomachenkos limit is lightweight.

    I think he will get retired by Mikey when they fight, not sure what weight class. Weight class will be irrelevant

    Yes. And Canelo is better than Margarito too.

    Loma can beat Margarito too I think, he's shot and slow now haha

    Size and strength eventually negates skill. He would be a boy next to Horn. Skill wise also, he could rough Loma up if hes getting bamboozled, turn it in to a dog fight. P4P no 1, but his size would be a massive problem for a Horn type of fight and style

    I didn't say it is likely. But it isn't impossible. It probably will take place at a catch weight to make it happen anyway. Think Tyson v Douglas type of upset.

    Valuev is one of the few fighters who in theory could be susceptible to a really fast small guy in this type of joke fight.

    However, in the end the weight and size should still be too much. Valuev walks Loma down, (no doubt getting hit plenty in the meantime), and then just swings for it with his massive arms. Every shot is blocked or missed but the impact of the blocked shots eventually wears Loma down.

    The wind behind his punch would knockout Loma.

    The problem by this is, Valuev is SO big that he would win by just leaning on Lomachenko. Just get him in a clinch, and use his weight. It would not take long before Lomachenko is totally drained.

    In all seriousness, the biggest champ he could beat? I would say Horn, although his title reign will be over next month ;)
