    I don't know what "Maromero" means but it must mean Matrix in spanish! Lomachenko who only ever looked good in highlights but not his record never showed moves this amazing! Whats stopping me from making flashy highlights like this and calling Paez an ATG just like you guys did with Lomachenko? How is it different?

    Paez got the benefit lot of either-way fights. Loma was robbed a couple of times.

    Maybe so but Paez was probably good enough to beat a lot of the guys Lomachenko beat. Idk maybe all of them? He could lose to all the same guys Lomachenko lost to as well. So I ask you

    Paez had a poor resume and got hit too much.

    If you want to talk about wins and losses you could make a case that Paez has done something similar to what Lomachenko has done. However, if you've watch them both fight and, it appears you have, there is no comparison. Maromero's skills pale in comparison to Loma's abilities. It is not remotely close.

    It's a totally different skill set. Paez would be closer to a prime Pacquiao from the point of view of angles and movement and unexpected movement. Paez did not have Manny's power but I do think there is a comparison to be made there.

    Paez is one of my favourite fighters. Never a dull moment.

    There was nothing special about that at all, Naz had power, Paez was just a run of the mill puncher and who the hell did he beat anyway? How many title defenses did Paez make?

    Paez was a circus act, he clowned around.. Loma doesn't move like he does for showmanship, there's purpose to it. Craft. Paez got smacked up by Angel Mandredy & Freddie Pendleton ffs .. he has 14 losses & 5 draws.. was dropped and stopped numerous throughout his career.. was a very dirty fighter & was like 30 fights in when he got his first title shot .. whereas Loma was straight in at the deep end in fight #2.. in no way is he on Lomas level of ANYTHING.. Loma has just one decisive loss for me (Lopez who'll end up as a WW soon) the other two are very dubious. Almost every single performance of Lomas has been a boxing masterclass barring maybe one or two. Chenko would destroy Paez. Log off.
