    Loma is far better than Canelo was in 2015, he was green as hell and Manny didn`t fight well v Floyd at all.

    Salido was beaten 12 times yet he beat the man you called " the most skilled fighter of all time". Plenty of fighters clowned salido who wasn't as good as gatti or zab

    He will never get to that level. Not enough time left in his pro career

    This.

    Incredible fighter and ATG skills I'd happily match up with anyone, but there's longevity monsters he just won't catch from that perspective. Floyd (and Pac) are two of them. He's not the type to hang on too long...my guess is he'll be retired within 3 years, max.

    As a pro, he's no where near better than Mayweather as a complete package. He hasn't even fought half the fights Mayweather has. He needs more body of work as a pro to make an argument. So u can't even compare the two. Doesn't have the defense like Mayweather. The pretty boy Floyd version is better offensively.

    Wiping Russell? I mean that was a close fight.

    But people need to go back and watch early Floyd.. recency bias always gets in the way of peoples perceptions. Young Floyd was a whole different kind of animal. He got way more cautious as he went up in weight, a lot because of fragile hands.. but I mean Loma would have to change things if he was to move up to 147+ as well.

    Lomachenko had the opportunity to fight Pacquiao, but he turned it down. Lomachenko still has an opportunity to do something amazing that would launch him into boxing immortality—beating Pacquiao and becoming the WBA Super Champion at 147.

    lol not only that butt its was a close fight, Oscar had been inactive and dealing with substance issues. He retired like two fights later after Manny destroyed him. That fight told me all I needed to know about how "great" FlIVd was. An all time prime great fighter does not have a close fight with a shot legend.
