    Floyd was smart enough to turn pro at 18 instead of wasting his prime like Loma did

    No. Lol! It’s not. At all

    Who exactly did Floyd fight in his fist 17 fights?? Were they anywhere near on par with Loma’s opponents??

    Yes I know their ages were different in their first 16-17 but people like you are very quick to say “AMATEURS AINT THE PROS THOUGH!!” Right??? Different ballgame!? Which makes Loma’s fast start all the more impressive.

    I know you all like to conveniently forget the details of the Salido ‘loss’ and also Lopez… but Floyd breezed through his first 16-17 fights for a reason. Lol

    Loma won’t match Floyd’s resume and ATG ranking in terms of accomplishments pro wise when it’s all said and done. That’s pretty much undeniable. But it’s hard to deny Loma was better through the first part of their careers if you combine the amateur accomplishments and who Loma fought and NOT leave out details.

    One of the reasons with Serafim Todorov is that he never turned pro.

    I've watched other people do some things that have really impressed me over the years. Sometimes feats of physical strength, or bravery, or endurance. Sometimes these were great feats of imagination or technical mastery. But if I'd come up with this thread...I'd honestly have been so much more proud of myself than those other kinds of things of which I have mentioned and alluded to and even referenced or...how would you say, um, mentioned about or somewhat talked of, even conversed with regards to.
