Whitaker is 1 of the smartest fighters ive ever seen and i think would be a fun fignt but i honestly cant see any scenario where he loses to Loma
Maybe so, and I tend to agree with you, but regardless of how much better Lopez may well have been than any of Crawford's opponents, still you can't be considered P4P #1 with that kind of poor performance vs anybody.
Loma would spank him, Whitaker didn`t have Lopez`s power, so Loma could fight his normal fight and is far better than anybody Pernell beat.
Loma is an amazing fighter who fought a bad fight v Lopez, he`d give any lightweight in history problems. Whitaker didn`t have more power than Loma and had a very bad KO ratio compared to a number of all-time greats.
your boxing knowledge is only progressing at the trivia level, your understanding of it, is stagnant.
no, loma is not amazing. he is very good, but untested to the degree the greats were. mikey has had a more amazing career as a pro than loma, and would have iced loma if loma had agreed to fight. mikey is not only bigger and tougher, he is also better.
Some of you overrate Loma. Sweet Pea beat better fighter than Loma including bigger stronger guys. Trust me the Loma does not survive over 15 rounds with peak Julio Cesar Chavez or Azumah Nelson. If Teofimo Lopez power intimidated him and troubled by Salido’s ruggedness.
