    Yeah as if that isn't a easier proposition in this era where there's a multitude of trinkets at every weight class separated by just a few pounds.

    Loma is no Henry Armstrong or Mickey Walker, that's for sure. Hell, he's no Ruben Olivares.

    He "dared" to be great and failed and his best win is ironically over a smaller man daring to move up against him.

    Fair enough.

    But don't mischaracterize my honest and demonstrably true observations---physical considerations have absolutely affected Loma's effectiveness at 135 and not many former featherweights have gone on to be dominant lightweights--- as excuses. I've been watching the game for a long time, and I have a very clear understanding of what he is and what he is not.

    Cheers.
