    Loma is almost the same height as Canelo, he's just nowhere near as stocky and height matters just as much as size apparently. If Canelo and prime Lomachenko stepped in the ring together how many rounds could Lomachenko hypothetically win before he gets overwhelmed by the size and power. Canelo is good but flat footed Loma might be able to exploit this for 4 or 5 rounds

    Canelo lost to GGG, Bivol, Mayweather, and is probably going to lose to Crawford. Many of the big names he has beaten were either shot or near the end of their careers. Very opportunistic.

    Loma's boxing is certainly at another level.

    Its a genuine question. Do you think Lomachenko would have 0 success ? He's 5'7 and has footwork Canelo has never seen

    Dude, he's already small for the LW division alone. I mean, what weight do you even envision this?

    Loma is too small. Christ, look at him vs Linares, he was small even then. Canelo will look like the hulk in there.

    Same. He makes up to 3 threads a day, which is super annoying. Not everyone of his thoughts has to be a thread in the General.
