    This vid shows how Loma pressures fighters using clever tactics are therre any fighters today that can use these tactics as well as Loma does and how does Loma compare to the great pressure fighters of yesteryear?

    up there in skill, but hes not the destroyer that some past greats were. his lack of power is compensated for with volume and precision. im not sure if he lacks much power in comparison, or his style just doesnt allow him to fully plant himself for leverage when he punches, but any hard puncher would gladly trade with him.

    The vid I posted here explains that Loma only commits to shots when his opponents counter punche himself out of position so therefore Loma can committ to the shot with no fear of being countered.

    sorry, didnt watch it, doubtful some unknown yt wannabe is going to point something out i dont already see. but, what you say makes sense. i do notice that his footwork is so active that he rarely fires from a set position, which will effect the torque he is able to generate. but if his footwork slows down, fighters will quickly look to trade with him a lot more and his chin will come into play.

    Manny has more power than Loma but which fighter was the best pressure fighter of the two? Manny couldn`t cut the ring off on Floyd and Loma is a master at cutting off the ring.

    Pacquiao KOs every single person on Lomachenko's resume. So who do you think?

    Manny may have been able to KO Rigo at 135 but not at feather, Rigo was even more skilled than JMM, Manny was not unbeatable at all.

    Rigo had a better defense than anyone Pac ever fought.

    Cordoba dropped him w/ a jab and some slow ass, no name praying mantis from Japan almost KO'd Rigo. And you think he survives a PRIME Pacquiao?!

    Sometimes I wonder if you actually following boxing... or if you just hate Pac that much.

    Fighting Harada was from Japan and he was rated by the ring magazine as No.27 out of a list of the greatest fighters in the last 50 years in 1996. Why He`s on this list:Robbed at featherweight, he should have been a three weight champ. I have watched this guy fight on youtube and feel he would have had a good chance at beating Manny at feather prime for prime. Your response to this is the reason I hate the talented Manny.

    No, just no. The moment hes pressured he puts all his weight on his back foot and has no balance or way to escape.
