Disagree here. Ward has such a nice left he doesn't need to use the right, but he still has it. Don't agree that Loma can't hurt an opp with a left cross. Don't think he was really punching with full force before the Rocky fight.
I actually was a huge Floyd fan until he started ducking Pac and cherry picking fights. There were fights i thought he was going to go after and he never did then he suddenly retired. As time went i started hearing more of his interviews and stories started coming out about him and hes a complete A=hole! He then came back out of retirement to fight Marquez and i was like wtf?!!! Thats who your coming back to fight? Then he doesnt have the decency to weigh in at the catchweight. seriously? It shouldve been Pac he was fighting! People want to blame Pac for not taking the test but they dont get into the specifics of why he didnt. Look it up on an unbiased source. The problem wasnt the test it was the cut off date which floyd changed both times Pac agreed to the test. He then went on to disrespect the legends and I got tired of his bs after a couple years and lost total respect for him. Great boxer and was fun to watch pre-2010 but since hes pulled the wool over the eyes of the naive but i caught on to his bs rather quickly. I shouldnt of said fans because i know some floyd fans that are knowledgeable and realistic about floyd as a fighter. The people i hate are those fans that dksab outside of floyd but claim to be experts on the sport and seriously believe the bs about tbe. When you challenge them on why hes not instead of proving their point by what he accomplished they try knocking everyone else especially Pacs achievements to puff up floyd. I dont think Floyd dominates loma and if you think that then you havent watched loma close enough. Putting him in your top 10 dont mean jacksh!t! People throw out p4p lists all the time. I like to watch guys and really break down what they can do in the ring and loma is absolutely sensational and i dont see that guy getting "dominated" at his best by anyone. Floyd isnt perfect lets not forget. If Chop chop Corley had any punching power he`d of kod floyd. Castillo beat floyd but got robbed and maidana gave floyd all he could handle. All 3 of those guys were C level and even D level fighters.
Conversely I think you forget the monster PBF was. Loma makes small subtle mistakes, that beside the reach and skill advantage, would cause him major trouble. If he's not on the offensive, he tends to go directly backwards when pressured (a problem floyd used to have), sometimes exits/pivots out with his hands completely down, he's completely open to a check hook from a good orthodox boxer, with the way he turns out. So Loma would have his hands beyond full, and possibly KO'd. Like I said I'm a huge fan of Loma's and rate his skills as elite, but PBF would beat him handily. I think if you really enjoy breaking down what guys do in the ring, you'd know exactly where loma is susceptible and that Floyd takes away his opps best weapon first. So what happens after that? Maybe a few years deeper in the pro game, he'll be more comparable to Floyd. For now he's a phenom, but not in Floyd's echelon.
Excellent post my man. Quite refreshing get a response worth reading. My only gripe is i have not forgotten the monster Floyd was at that weight. I in fact was a HUUGGGEE Floyd fan back in those days.
I would pick Lomachenko to beat Void, Castillo beat Void, so I know that Lomachenko would have............
Oh I agree...Floyd is exceptional honestly in all the ranges....im just saying the one that sets them completely apart is that Floyd can box from the outside and Loma simply would not be able to deal with that type of fight if Floyd employed it.
