    It was a great win stop with the excuses. I bet you give loma full credit for beating an old small rigo who was 2 classes above his weight dont you? Hypocrite!
    Pbf was facing jail before his fight with cotto did you come in here saying that about him? Of course you didn't. You're just an excuse making hater.

    Loma is my favorite active fighter but this is absolute nonsense.

    Lomachenko is quite possibly the most skilled fighter I've ever seen. Skill-wise, he's on par with Floyd at the very least.

    However, I don't see Lomachenko matching Floyd in greatness, mainly because he turned pro so late.

    In other words, Lomachenko is as good as Floyd, arguably better, but not as great as Floyd.

    Not a Floyd fan but got to agree with everyone else, it’s not even close. Floyd is so far ahead that I don’t think it’s possible for Loma to catch up.

    No need to waste time. Maybe I should do a cheap copy and paste and have you read your post again to see how one-sided it is.

    His skill set what more do you want me to say?.
    Look at the films. Look at what they each do.

    Yes both very skilled but you act as if pbf is some limited fighter. Pbf is a better counter puncher than loma and has better defense. For you to say he's more skilled is not true. Not only that pbf has displayed his skills against better fighters than loma has.

    Loma needs to fight an MMA fighter without a single pro boxing fight and claim it as an official victory. Only then can he reach greatness.
    One thing we can say is that Loma is recently fighting guys who are much bigger and with greater reach, that's something Mayweather avoided. He almost always had the reach advantage even if the other fighter might be a little heavier.
    Loma confirmed that he is getting hit more lately because of the reach issue. If Mayweather continually fought guys with greater reach, he would have faced far greater adversity, particularly as he aged.

    All I ever hear is Floyd is better defensively . Well that's what he does and it gets old TBH. Loma literally does everything else better and doesnt cherrypick doesnt dictate terms and rules doesnt wait for guys to get past there prime ect ect

    Loma at least looks to unify. Floyd never cared for title unification.

    Loma is in his third weight class, Floyd won titles in five. So before we say that Loma unlike Floyd never refuses any challenges let's see if he at least goes up to fight the best at 140, never mind 147.

    Hell, even old Pac, who's more or less the same size as Loma, would be Loma's biggest challenge to date by some distance, but Loma said thanks but no thanks to the 39 year old Pac... And Floyd gets stick for going up a weight class to fight a 34 year old DLH. Go figure.

    Wonder what the verdict would have been on Floyd if he had chosen to fight young guys with 15 fights at 140 instead of accepting the challenge of DLH at 154...
