Could a prime Roger Mayweather have landed more shots on this Lopez than Loma did?

    I ask this question like this because a lot of people on this forum would scoff at the idea of Roger maybe beating Lopez, so would Roger`s power enable him to be more offensive than Loma was v Lopez?

    Roger in prime? Most likely had threw more punches, yes.
    Loma did almost nothing with Lopez all 6 first rounds.

    One thing is for sure, Roger would not have fought the first half the fight like a female dog and of he lost he would have gone out like a man and warrior on his shield trying to win, not "fighting" like a scared little Ukrainian midget woman.

    You think Ukrainians are cowards for some reason.

    Not genetically but culturally. Per capita I guarantee you the Ukrainian Americans in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn(little Odessa) are tougher than their compatriots.

    maybe. each culture does have his own insight as more proper road to prosperity.
    Some culture might see this as being punched in the face for a living.
    Some other culture as opportunity to manage others and buy/ sell.
    Ukraine does have capitalism since 1992 th? It is. This matters.

    Excellent and insightful reply. If you ate Ukrainian I was by no means trying to pick on them and dump on them as a people. I have plenty of respect for Ukrainians and other eastern Europeans.

    Roger wouldn't have been confused in any way what Lopez was up to. He would have known what his best chance was. I have no idea if he had what it took physically to deal with Lopez. Hard to tell across the years.

    His nephew though, he wins easily.

    Generalizing makes everyone look stupid.

    I worry for Rog against power and timing like that.

    Now, the 125 pound Loma of that night versus Mamba? Now that's goddamn interesting..

    Roger's lights would be put out before he could land more.
