Best footwork ever my ass

Overrated meaning what? How would you rate his footwork then.

 

This isn´t even an argument. You fail at trolling

 

How many guys did Floyd neutralise who were bigger punchers and were active then?

 

Quite a lot actually...

 

His footwork is still the best. He just didn't have the physicality to impose himself on Lopez.

Lopez had the longer reach so he had to get inside, but when he was inside he didn't want to stay there because Lopez hits too hard. Just one of those things. Bad style matchup.

I think if anything, it was bad strategy giving the first 5 rounds away by literally throwing no punches. If he takes more risks in the 2nd fight, he should win easily.

 

Hey Xplosive, you're gonna offend someone again!

It is the fanboys fault for comparing with Loma absolute all time legends. They are the cause of such visceral reactions. Loma isn't near comparison and doesn't deserve it. Aesthetics are a funny thing in Boxing, they can make even a solid observer a fan boy. What matters is effectiveness and who you beat.

After tonight, Loma is a solid 'very good' fighter, until he proves otherwise.

 

It's the old Jersey Joe Walcott conundrum.

 

That is actually a very apt comparison. Mr Sung Kil Moon could be the antithesis

 

I tend to think the antithesis would be someone like Donald Curry. His footwork was unbelievable (definitely better than Walcott's IMO) but it looked extremely bland.

 

Exactly this. That result wasn’t because of his footwork, it was because of a smart plan by Lopez and a reluctance to exchange from Loma

 

You mean Pacquiao has been fighting at welterweight for 10 years now.

 

A lot of the tricks what he did made him look so good and untouchable when in reality those tricks could be taken away easily by a top fighter and Lomachenko has to fight without those tricks, it only works against a beaten fighter who is in his shell, he is still good without those tricks, but he doesn’t look so untouchable, even in the Campbell fight he wasn’t able to get off his flashy moves because Campbell was trying to win and wasn’t tooking up, if you use your feet and don’t let Loma into range to get off his flashy combos and angles, he can be beat on top of that, push him back as we seen against Lopez
Lopez had fast hand, fast feet, power and size and he was using all of that and not just that, he was putting it all together he was forcing Loma on the back foot and when Loma would throw, he would take a step back
Most importantly, he wasn’t intimidated by Lomachenko’s reputation as many of the previous were and he managed to put everything together on the night

 

Yes.
How can you say that he is not a welterweight?

 

Little Loma still managed to give Lopez a beating in the 3 rounds he did work.
