ESPN- commentators was SO IN LOVE WITH LOMO..

he is a small man fighting out of his natural weightclass giving away height and reach relying on skill to win .
he is also prepared to tand right in front of his opponents

no matter hiw good you are moving up in weight and fighting taller /longer and bigger men is always hard.

sugar shane mosely was as awesome a lightweight as i have seen /power/chin /abilty but he lost to forest not because he was not more skilled but because he was fighting out of his best weightclass that suited his size and height.

if i was lomenchenko i would go back in weight and stick there.

floyd did it and was undefeated / but he picked fighters that did not have big height and reach on him.

 

I can’t remember floyd fighting taller and bigger guys than him, maybe canelo. Floyd is great no doubt about it, but I’m not sure how many taller and bigger guys he has actually fought. Also Rigo was the one who wanted to fight Loma , not the other way around and Loma never gave himself any credit for that win, because he said Rigo was a naturally smaller man.

 

floyd was 5.8 small for a welterweight where he finished his career

avegage for a lightweight but again not tall

how many of floyds 50 fights did he fight oppoents of 5.10 and above ?

 

oh shut the **** up!

2nd pro fight, fouled throughout, cheated by weight division. Linares unbeaten for 5 years and clearly a revamped fighter.

 

So you're saying the main issue was Loma fighting outside his weight comfort zone? You do realise you're actually complimenting him by making this point?

 

You think he's an ATG already? I would think he's got to do a little more before he gets that tag....

 

When they move up weight class, they usually tune up to the division or have a similar weight. not a 16lb and 4 inch reach disadvantage. To call Linares a sub-par fighter shows how little you know about boxing.
