    Personally I scored that fight for Loma, but he didn’t do enough to convince the judges either way. But many fighters suffer a loss, especially guys who move up and/or take on top notch caliber opponents with regularity. I think his skill level is apparent and he would be competitive with the greats from any era. Just my $0.02

    TBH, I'm not sure you can even compare them, since their overall styles are so different, though if I had to I'd easilly pick Pep.

    There isn't a single ATG in history who hasn't tasted defeat or been in a debatable decision.

    Napoles and Louis had great economical savvy footmovement too, a lot of fans get loads of movement mixed up with effective movement.

    Pep was ahead of his time, his moves are now being used in the MMA circuit, a pioneer.

    Whitaker was better at escaping the ropes than Jones was.

    Whitaker`s footwork was similar to Leonard and Ali`s.

    Chavez had better footwork than Camacho, that`s how he cut the ring off on him, Whitaker used his footwork far better when he fought Chavez a couple of years after Hector. (RIP)
