Loma won one belt against Kambosos What if he wins his next two fights against Shakur and Tank ? How would you rate him P4P after that ? This content is protected
He can't beat them. He lost to Haney, think about it. Linares had knocked him down. I think Loma is the most exaggerated boxer in history.
lol Haney was something like 25 lbs heavier than him and Loma still beat him. In order to get a draw for Haney you'd need to give every swing round to him and in order to give him 7 rounds you'd need to count his low blows as scoring punches and his grazing punches to Loma's elbows as more impactful than Loma snapping his head back with clean punches square on Haney's jaw. He suffered a flash knockdown against Linares (himself an underrated fighter and once an entrant on many P4P lists), then got up and beat the brakes off him. If every fighter to have ever suffered a knockdown is overrated then I guess George Chuvalo must be the greatest fighter to have ever lived since SSR, Greb, Langford, Armstrong, Charles, Duran, and the like all tasted the canvas at some point in their careers. If receiving praise for being the greatest amateur of all time and besting such talents as Rigo, Linares, GRJ, Haney, and Walters is him being overrated than I guess you and I must rate fighters very differently.
I think it'd be very easy to justify his placement over Crawford and the Bivol/Beterbiev winner since he's proven himself to be more skilled and has faced a higher level of competition than both the aforementioned. You gotta split hairs to pick between Loma, Usyk, and Inoue but beating Shakur and Tank would be enough to put him over them personally I think.
He beat Haney and a lot of bigger guys than himself. ==================================================================== Imagine beating two young hypes of US at his age and becoming undisputed at 37 (for a lower divisions, it's very impressive)
Kambosos is a mediocre fighter who once won the lottery vs Leo Tank and shakur have fought nobody and they have done nothing in boxing yet. So the answer to your question is obvious. No.
They are the champions, who hold the belts and Loma has been a champion in 3 weights. He becomes undisputed at 37 and he is not top 10 P4P ? really ? This content is protected
True but pure skillwise, I don't think there's anybody better. I know it takes more but just saying. He's punching above his weight. He's not really built to be fighting across multiple weight classes.
