    There is no denying Loma has great athleticism and a complete skill set in and out done with impressive fluidities but is it as impressive as Duran's? Duran is probably the most complete fighter we have extensive footage of, he integrated offence and defence and back with the fluidity skill, intelligence and instincts of a Jedi warrior.

    How does Loma compare?

    duran was tested over decades, by many fighters much better than anything loma has seen. loma has not proven to be in durans league... yet.

    They can be compared in terms of fluidity of movement in the way they can switch offence to defence and back seamlessly

    Duran was a true fighter. The closest guy to Duran in recent history was Pacquaio who is also a straight up fighter.

    The farthest from Duran is Mayweather who ran from Baldomir and was ascared to fight Margarito and ran away from Pacquaio all ascared like.

    Duran was more fluid in his transition from offense to defense
