    Better ring iq than pbf based on what? Who has he beat to make that outlandish claim? Pbf had one of the best ring iqs in boxing history. His boxing mind was arguably his best asset.:deal:

    I guess now loma is a better defensive fighter than pbf is now? Wishful thinking fools like you will say anything.

    No way and absolutely no chance. Floyd is the original cannot be beat kid. Loma will always have Salido problems and if reports are true he will soon have Lopez problems.

    I disagree here, from an on-the-money post. I think it's square on pressure fighters with a low centre of gravity that Floyd doesn't like work from. Like Maidana or Castillo.

    Guys like Duilio Loi, Julio Cesar Chavez, Roberto Duran and Henry Armstrong are the worst match ups I can think of.

    Guys who fight well at mid-range and are able to get up-close are gonna do well.

    Quick feet are also a must.

    Loma could barely handle Luke Campbell but he'd school Floyd. Ok sure

    I don't think Loma has a higher Ring IQ than Mayweather.

    I'm not sure if Lomachenko has a higher ring IQ than Floyd (it's probably very close), but Lomachenko clowned Rigo (put on a boxing clinic, not beat him down with size). It was a humiliating dismantling.

    Rigo is a master boxer and more technically skilled than anyone PBF beat (even Marquez).

    Campbell barely won 2 rounds against Lomachenko.

    Rigo was past his best and fighting at a weight he had no business at. That fight was a money grab for rigo nothing more even loma doesn't rate that win. I can't base his ring iq off that fight because rigo was dwarfed in the ring. It was a mismatch.

    Rigo was a master boxer at 122 where he was still extremely small but at 130 not so much.

    So many modern greats are criticised this way.
