    A lot of his die hard fans think that people who don't worship him just hate him. Lomachenko is very special but he's not the first or the last fighter to show sublime skills. And I agree, I haven't seen anything in Lopez to believe that he will win this weekend. Loma can possibly stop him late.

    If Floyd loses he will ruin his legacy (to some degree), the risk of fighting those MMA guys it opens him to problematic claims by other boxers, if another boxer beats McGregor than Floyd did (say Pacman KO1 McGregor) the world will demand a rematch and Floyd will have to face the Pacman one more time, or stay retired for good.

    Corrales has wins over Freitas, Casamayor and Castillo in one of the best fights ever, Who has Gary beaten?

    Floyd has about double the championship fights Loma has, so he will always have that advantage.

    However, one thing that will always be a knock on Floyd's title fights is he never really unified titles w/ other champions of the divisions.

    Gary Russell Jr is nowhere near Corrales as a fighter. Like different ballpark nowhere near.

    The Teo fight is a 50/50 fight, its equivalent to a Floyd Mayweather vs Antonio Margarito fight. If he wins this fight its a big achievement & a move down to 130 to become undisputed (after Haney and cementing the Undisputed claim at 135), this will make him the 2nd boxing champion to become Undisputed in two weight classes (Biblical Evander Holyfield is the only boxer to achieve this)

    This thread will be more relevant on 18 October 2020
    There is a 50% chance Loma loses based on Teo age, size, momentum & lineal Psychopathy...This is the biggest fight of his career
