Saying 'Floyd beats Lomachenko easy' is the same as saying Hearns beats Floyd easy

    Yes. They have fought in the same weight class. But Loma is absolutely maxed out at 135 lbs and really is a 126 lber. Look how narrow his clavicles are, he has a tiny frame. He is 30 years old and can make 126 lbs.

    Mayweather and Hearns have both fought at 147 lbs, but Floyd was maxed out there and Hearns has all the physical advantages over Floyd and fought as high as Cruiser.

    Skill wise all 4 fighters are comparable. Size dictates the winner in both match ups.

    Of course which is what I have always said PBF beats Loma because he's too big for him. Hearns beats PBF because he's too big for him as well.

    I do think Loma vs 130lb FlIVd has a better chance of winning than a 147lb FlIVd vs Hearns but I think FlIVd has better chance than most people think.

    Not really about size, Floyd is just too good.

    I agree with you on both cases. I'd favour Floyd at 135 vs Lomachenko and Hearns at 147 over Floyd, without hesitation.

    But lets not forget they'd all be each other's best opponents, boxing is an unpredictable sport, so anything could happen.

    Floyd is way bigger even though he fought at 130.

    Loma is Pac's size more or less.

    Would've been fun 15 years ago.

    For Mayweather, he always looked good against bigger fighters, where Loma hasn't. Bigger and taller fighters has given Loma problems. Size does't always dictate who wins though.

    Mayweather really hasn't fought bigger guys as Loma doing.

    Um........ nah

    Hearns KO Mayweather.

    6 inch height advantage. 8 inch reach advantage. Hearns is faster and punches way harder.

    This can only end in Hearns by KO.

    I think Hearns would KO both Pacquiao and Mayweather at 147, just too damn big and physically gifted. It's one thing to be extra long at the lower weight classes, but it's another to also have great power, speed, and skills. Hearns weakness was his chin but neither Pacquiao nor Mayweather have the one punch KO power to capitalize.

    What do you mean by bigger lol? Can you name a time Floyd fought someone that had a 6 inch reach advantage and a 4 inch height advantage? Only 6 foot plus fighter he ever fought was Tony pep. For people that had reach over him, you have the following choices: DLH at 73 inches, McGregor at 74, Tony pep unknown, Philip Ndou with 1-2 inch reach advantage. Other than Pep who was a no name, he has never had more than a 2 inch reach disadvantage.

    Grand total of 4 fighters with a reach advantage over him out of 50 fights. How many HOF fighters had reach over him? 1 out of 4. Lmao. People need to stop selling the narrative that Mayweather was tiny for the weight class. Light, yes, but not tiny.

    Canelo was marketed as being huge compared to Mayweather only to look shorter with shorter arms.

    Floyd vs Lara would have shown us something and even then, the size difference is smaller than Loma vs 135 lbers.

    Loma and Pacquiao are about the same. It's just Loma lacks that thump in his left straight and seems to have a glass body and chin.Which is not a good thing to have against a Floyd.
