Is inoue greater than Lomachenko

I really wouldn't fit in over there. Whilst some of my favourite posters post or used to post on the Classic, I also have a very low opinion of your typical Classic types

 

Mikey kept fist pumping the air at the end of rounds after having clearly lost them

 

The weight difference between Loma and Rigo wasn't much more than what it was between Crawford and Gamboa with Crawford having a enormous 9'' reach advantage over Gamboa and Rigo having a 2'' reach advantage over Loma. But the natural size difference between Crawford who was a gigantic weight bully and Gamboa was a lot more.

Crawford was extremely lean at that weight with zero fat on him even though he was rehydrating as much as 18lbs at his highest and he was still super lean even when he moved up to his 4th weight class 154 weighing just 0.2 ounces less than career 160 GGG's usual fight night weight.

He's walking around now at a very solid 186, not fat or remotely bloated in the face, and he looks bigger or at worst roughly the same size as his next opponent Clenelo who is obviously the undisputed champ at 168.

186lbs is 51lbs more than his first weight and, as said, he looks solid and in good shape at that weight

He has never looked undersized in any weight class he's fought in, whereas, Loma looks tiny for 135 and, in complete contrast to Crawford who was very often the much or bigger man or at worst roughly the same as his opponents, was often giving away weight down at 126 and 130, let alone up at 135

Crawford weighed more in his first fight in his 4th division at 154 than his career opponent at that weight did and he had a huge reach advantage too

Loma's opponents in his 3rd division were much or way bigger than him and the size disparity was immediately very noticeable.

Granted, Loma turned pro at almost 26 y/o and Crawford was like 20 when he turned pro and if Loma turned pro at the same age he would've done so at a lower weight than 126

So let's say Loma turned pro at 118 or 115 at 20 y/o

135 would've been his 5th or 6th weight class

But he still looked tiny for it

Crawford has never looked undersized, let alone small or tiny for any weight class he's fought at and he was rehydrating as much as 18lbs at 135, as much as 17lbs at 140, roughly that much at 147 because he looked very noticeably bigger at 147 than he did at 140 and we know he rehydrated ever so slightly under 16lbs at 154. Loma wasn't even rehydrating near that much in his 1st weight class. The max he rehydrated was 12.5lbs

At 126

Loma 129 - Ramirez 135
Loma 136 - Salido 147
Loma 138½ - Russell 138
Loma 134 - Koasicha 133
Loma 138 - Rodriguez 132
Loma 132 - Piriyapinyo 137

So he was the smaller man in half of his fights at his FIRST weight class in which he was outweighed by 11lbs, 6lbs and 5lbs in them and in two of the three fights he was the bigger man he outweighed his opponents by a whopping total of 0.5lbs and 1lb

In only one of six fights at the weight did he have more than a 1lb advantage

And at 130

Loma 137 - Walters 136
Loma 139 - Sosa 142
Loma 137 - Martinez 144
Loma 137 - Rigo 130 in his tracksuit

Loma vs Marriaga - Marriaga weighed 135lbs down at 126 against Walters so again there was a minimal weight advantage for Loma if one at all

So Loma has two fights at 126 and 130 where he had a significant weight advantage, one of which a big one

And in those 11 fights he was the smaller man x 5, and he had a weight advantage of more than 1lb twice and possibly 3 times and even if he didn't it would've been a couple of pounds max

That's not even touching on 135 which he was tiny for and the size disparity between him and his opponents ranged from big, huge, to obscene


In 21 of Loma;s fights he's been the smaller man at least 14 times, been the much or way smaller man at least 13 times, only had a weight advantage of 5lbs or more twice, only had a big one x 1, and in the 5 or possible 7 fights he was the ''bigger'' man he only had a weight advantage of more than 1lbs twice, possibly three times and even then it only would've been by a couple of pounds


Now let's move on to reach

Loma 65.5'' reach

Walters 73''
Haney 71''
Campbell 71''
Commey 71''
Nakatani 71''
Pedraza 70.5''
Linares 69''
Ortiz 69''
Rodriguez 69''
Lopez 68.5''
Rigo 68''
Kambosos 68''
Sosa 67''
Crolla 67''
Marriaga 67''
Martinez 67''
Koasicha
Piriyapinyo
Salido 67''
Ramirez 65.5''
Russell Jr. 64''

He's had a reach advantage x 1 in all his fights where info for his opponent's reaches are available and that's like almost all of them

Now let's compare that to Crawford

Crawford 149 - Klimov 140
Crawford 152 - Gamboa 145
Crawford 153 - Beltran 147
Crawford 155 - Lundy 151
Crawford 155 - Jean 155
Crawford 157 - Postol 152
Crawford 157 - Diaz 161
Crawford 169.8 - Madrimov 168.6

He's been outweighed x 1 in all the fights of his were the ring weights have been listed which I have been able to find


Now reach

Terence Crawford 74'' reach

Postol 73.5''
Benavidez 73''
Dulomre 73''
Jean 72''
Spence 72''
Indongo 71.5''
Egis 71''
Khan 71''
Molina 71''
Burns 70''
Klimov 69.5''
Porter 69.5''
Brook 69''
Avanesyan 68.5''
Madrimov 69.5''
Horn 68''
Lundy 68''
Diaz 67''
Beltran 67''

There are a handful of his pre-title fights where his opponent's reaches are listed and all bar one of them were much shorter or shorter. I found one who had the same reach as him. So, again, the complete opposite with Loma and his opponents

I don't care if Gamboa had fought at 135 once before and Rigo was coming up 2 weights because Loma at 130 was roughly the same size as he was at his biggest at 126 and when you have massive weight bullies in the sport who are rehydrating as much as 18lbs and are still super lean and very thin in the face even after piling all that weight back on it makes a complete mockery of having weight divisions in the first place.

Featherweight was scrapped in the amateurs long ago and the fact that 135 Loma was barely any bigger than Inoue was when Inoue was down at 118 should tell you how tiny he was for 135

When that photo was taken

135 << Loma here
130
126
122
118 << Inoue here

Crawford looks about the same size as Clenelo FFS and he has been huge, very big, or big for every weight class he's fought at. Never small or tiny. Not once.

Look at him here over 5 years ago. He said he weighed in the ''160s-170s'' so let's call it 170


Look at how lean he looks. He has less fat on his body than an anorexic greyhound
