    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.

    Why did I say this. Loma would beat Ryan. I still can't believe Ryan beat Haney. Just a weird loss. Garcia ****ing sucks. Must just be an extreme case of styles make fights.

    Everybody makes bad calls: you might still be able to find my posts where I was morally outraged about Oscar fighting lil' ol' Pacman...:cool:

    Loma easily beat Haney but you know the drill with the paid off judges. Against Lopez it was closer but I think Loma edged it, even with Loma's dodgy shoulder. If Loma had started earlier he would have won comfortably.

    Lopez.

    Loma started too late.


    Haney

    Loma beat him and got robbed.
