    If Loma fought a Prime Floyd, would he make Floyd say No Mas?

    I don't know, Floyd was a master at using his reach and picking fighters off with his straight right hand. I don't know if Loma could get past his jab and right hand.

    It’s a 50/50fight.

    Would be excellent to watch.

    If they had similar height and reach it could be very competitive. A 7.5 inch advantage is laughable.

    Tell that to Roberto Duran. Didnt seem to bother him with Leonard.

    No it isn't. It would be like an easier version of Pacquiao for PBF.

    You seem unaware of the irony, given the thread title.

    Lomachenko is the fastest and most technical fighter of the moment but he can be hit for a whole bout how demonstrated Campbell last night.

    Styles make fights. When the shorter fighter is a bully type with "hands of stone" he stands a better chance against a boxer. When you have a reach disadvantage you need to excel in either speed or power to have a good chance against a longer fighter. At the top level, the skill differences can be miniscule enough that physical differences determine the winner.

    Chavez didn't have tremendous speed or power and he had a 66 inch reach. Lomachenko isn't blazing and doesn't hit very hard at all, he has a 65 inch reach. Andre Ward wasn't that fast and was a light hitter, he had a 71 inch in the LHW division.

    A prime Mayweather would have very little problem with knocking Loma smooth out.
